Subject: BenefitsLink Newsletter 12/03/95 Benefits Forum Is Still Open The "Benefits Forum" is a free online discussion group that can be accessed through BenefitsLink, the national employee benefits Web page. The Benefits Forum is sponsored by HR Headquarters, the online service of the Personnel Journal. Its primary focus is on Human Resources personnel. Recently HR Headquarters implemented a new feature on the Benefits Forum page. You must "sign in" before you can continue to use the Benefits Forum page. The service continues to be free. One sign-in is all you need to do; their Web server then automatically asks you for your name and password when you access the Benefits Forum the next time.
