2023 Renewals | Modern Health Plans for Middle Market Employers

Chris Wolpert joins in to talk about Modernizing health plans in the workplace. The industry has had it wrong for years, teaching CFOs, HROs, and owners how to buy their benefits program. Now it's time to modernize your renewal. 
CFOs need to start challenging the renewal, not accepting it. Many decision-makers, including Human Resources, accept the status quo and live off brand loyalty. Brand loyalty is a one-way street.

Middle Market Benefits Renewals | Elite Benefits Playbook

Keeping things where they are to save your job when you have money savings at stake should be criminal. CFOs who have never seen a benefits expense report to analyze data for benefits trends of the company's benefits spend should also be criminal. 
Middle-market companies are renewing their health plans right now, and most don't look outside of a square box for answers. HR does not want to upset the executive board or the employee base. Yet at the same time, they could be overspending by $300,000 a year; multiply that by the last ten years, and you have millions of dollars overspent. Is your HR worth about $3,000,000 to keep the status quo?
I would think not. 
We just did a webinar on LinkedIn: Predictable Renewals with Ken Wosczyna. 
Start on the right path and see how you score with your Elite Benefits Playbook here.
