EGI provides monthly benefits training for new Human Resources (HR) personnel, with refresher courses available for existing HR staff. The training presentation is developed using the Benefit Specialist Handbook as its primary reference. Whether you are a new HR employee or an existing staff member seeking a refresher, please email Kathy Simpson at kathy.simpson@wyo.gov to register for an upcoming training session. Kathy will send a calendar invitation, and your registration will be confirmed once you accept the invitation.

When your agency hires a new HR staff member, please contact Kathy to obtain the necessary training materials and forms and to schedule a brief HIPAA training session. Completion of HIPAA training is required to receive access to the EGI Portal. This access alllows new HR personnel to assist with employee data entry while awaiting the next scheduled EGI Benefits Training session.

Please note: New HR personnel must successfully complete the full-day EGI Benefits Training before conducting employee orientations or providing assistance with any EGI benefits-related matters. Failure to complete the required training before performing these responsibilities will result in removal of EGI Portal access.

Thank you for helping ensure that all HR personnel receive the necessary training and are properly equipped to provide accurate and effective assistance to employees regarding their EGI benefits.
