Get Paid For Time Invested Your Benefits Renewal
Thursday Jan 04, 2024
Thursday Jan 04, 2024
Most owners, CFOs, and HROs don’t want to invest the time in a benefits renewal to save money. They demand it; they think they control it, but they have no leverage.
What if you were paid $16,000 per hour to invest time in your benefits renewal? That’s more than anyone is paid, especially those responsible for the company benefits program and the company's financial well-being.
If the ROI on the time invested exceeded 5 to 1, maybe 10 to 1, would you give it the time it needs to start reversing the trend of the benefit spending of the company?
Go invest the time!

Hospitals Depend On Employer Sponsored Health Plans | Cost Analysis
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
Hospitals do not depend on government-funded health plans. Employers are the driving force due to health plans overpaying for healthcare. Nearly double!
At the same time, employees pay 20% more for healthcare out of the paycheck, meaning they take less home.
Listen in as we dive into cost analysis, which shows that only 26% of CFOs look for new ways to control costs. Three-quarters of CFOs should be fired for looking at costs the status quo way... Hopefully, they will listen to this podcast before they realize they have a fiduciary responsibility; otherwise, they will be penalized.

Knowing The Reality of Your Benefits Program
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
Perception is usually our reality. But is it?
For years we are given a false reality of our Benefits Program based on how we are taught to perceive it. CFOs who have skin in the game knows they cannot control what they don’t see. Others just avoid it.
Benefits costs are going to double in the next seven years. Are you ready?
Ask your CFO if they forecasted a budget to meet the demands of the spiraling costs of the benefits program. You may not be surprised by their answer.
