Can Employee Benefits Be Optimized to Empower and Elevate the Employee Experience?

Viewpoints from Nabil Fakhoury

The answer is yes! Core and ancillary lines of coverage can be transformed and personalized based on culture, demographics, and risk tolerance. Renewal season is a chance to move the needle in the right direction; however, the sheer number of options to sift through and vet is an undertaking in and of itself (never mind the effect too many point solutions could have on your employee engagement). Cost is almost always another top perennial concern – we’re already seeing some client renewals for the upcoming plan year in the double digits. So, what should an employer do?

If you feel like you’re running out of ideas for this benefits renewal season, there’s no time like now to act.

We invite you to learn how to integrate the latest benefits strategies into your process and become an employer of choice for attracting and retaining top talent.

According to last year’s PwC Employee Benefits Perspective Survey, the top three challenges around providing health and welfare benefits are:

1. Total benefit costs
2. Maintaining employee engagement over time
3. Complexities of working with multiple vendors.

This is not a go-it-alone endeavor; you need a trusted consultant and partner to help guide you every step of the way.
