Presented in Partnership with
Brown & Brown Insurance
Eye-opening and strongly contrary to conventional wisdom, this foundational seminar establishes the critical thinking necessary to effectively manage a health plan. This seminar is for plan sponsors that are serious about optimizing recruitment and retention while minimizing cost and maximizing employee satisfaction.
We will go over the following:
- Why employers are failing at health plan management
- How “best practices” are repelling the best talent and souring corporate culture
- Why the industry benchmarks are wrong and are driving the costs of your health plan higher
- How to structure your medical offering to increase the value of benefits and reduce costs
