EBRI Relaunches, Updates Website
WASHINGTON, DC, January 5, 2009 -- As part of its 30th anniversary commemoration, the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) has relaunched and updated its Website to make its research and publications easier to access. All of EBRI's work on health, retirement, and economic security issues is available free at www.ebri.org
In addition, EBRI has redesigned its two flagship periodicals, the EBRI Issue Brief and EBRI Notes. The new layout will debut with the publication of the January 2009 issues.
This is the first update of EBRI's Website since 2005, and makes the site far more graphical, colorful, and intuitive for users to navigate. "We hope these improvements will make our Website more appealing to all users and do a better job of highlighting new information on the site from month to month," said Dallas Salisbury , EBRI president.
The updated EBRI Website continues the practice of making the Institute's major publications available free to the public. Besides EBRI Issue Brief and EBRI Notes, these include (among other things) the Web-based EBRI Databook on Employee Benefits, Fundamentals of Employee Benefit Programs, and the shorter "Fast Facts from EBRI" datasheets. Publications are arranged in reverse chronological order.
EBRI research on a wide range of programs, including 401k retirement plans, pensions, Social Security, and health care, is frequently cited because the Institute is independent, and does not lobby or take positions on policy questions. EBRI is funded by membership dues from a wide range of groups involved with benefits issues, including retirement plan sponsors, labor unions, health care providers and insurers, academic organizations, and benefits consultants.
