The new websites are launching at the '20th Annual Benefits Management Forum and Expo', taking place September 16th - 18th in Dallas, Texas and at 'DMAA's Integrated Care Summit' taking place September 16th - 18th in Las Vegas.
Initially, the sites will be privately previewed to FieldMedia and HR.com's advertisers at the shows and will go global on October 1st.
"These new websites will allow us to create communities, share knowledge and exchange information in a way that our previous websites were unable to. This is really more than just an online version of our publications, these are Web 2.0 communities that enable our members to connect and educate themselves in an interactive way that has yet to be seen in the benefits and compensation and CDHC communities," says Doug Field, CEO, Field Media.
The new website properties were built in conjunction with HR.com and will take advantage of their Siteforum platform, which will allow users to:- Find and connect with colleagues and peers
- Create their own benefits and compensation or CDHC blogs
- Submit their own articles and share their industry expertise
- Contribute to a wiki by adding, editing and sharing forms, templates, descriptions and metrics
- Participate in issue-specific discussion forums
- Locate the latest and greatest industry content in one single location
HR.com is the largest online community and social network for HR professionals and will work together with FieldMedia to drive the community and grow membership amongst the HR community. In addition, the two organizations will sell each other's online advertising inventory, allowing existing advertisers to leverage their marketing efforts and increase reach.

On the CDHC website, communities include: Incentive Solutions, Wellness, HSA/HRA/FSA Admin & Finance, Tools & Technology, Communities/Education, Supplemental Medical Benefits, Disease Management, Pharmacy Benefit Management, Health Plans and Broker and Advisor.
