Amid talk of rising inflation, “quiet quitting,” and skyrocketing health care costs, the Great Resignation seems to have fallen off the radar. However, it is not over. In fact, executives have joined the Great Resignation in droves, prompting employers to seek creative ways to hold on to high-level talent. 

One solution involves enhancing your executive benefits program. In this episode of BIZTips, we’re talking with Anne Long, President, CBIZ Life Insurance Solutions, about the importance of executive benefits and the must-have executive perks employers should be offering in 2023. 

We all know that inflation rates are skyrocketing. The Consumer Price Index rose 9.1% year-over-year in June, making it the largest 12-month increase since November 1981. What does this mean for employers, the employee benefits landscape and the actuarial industry as a whole?  

Find out in this episode of BIZTips, featuring Matt Cline, Actuarial Analyst for CBIZ Employee Benefits. Listeners will hear from Matt on the shifting economic environment and how it’s impacting employers’ ability to retain top talent, protect their bottom line, project future uncertainties and more. 

It’s no secret that employee turnover is higher than ever. Organizations are pursuing unique solutions to hold on to top talent, from improving employee benefits to increasing compensation. However, too few are focusing on onboarding — a process that can help employers significantly improve retention when done right.

In this episode, we sit down with Juliana Alvey, National Communications Manager, to discuss the importance of embracing innovation in onboarding and the elements of an effective onboarding program in 2022.

Health care costs continue to rise, but that doesn’t mean employers have to accept the expensive status quo. For those willing to go against the grain, there is ample opportunity for positive disruption in the world of employee benefits. 

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Davis, Director of Health Innovation, to discuss the modern cost-containment strategies that can help employers take control of their health care expenses. 

The ‘Great Resignation’ has turned the job market on its head. Now more than ever, employees have the power of choice, and employers need to think outside the box in order to remain competitive.

In this episode, we sit down with Julie Fulton, Director of Wellbeing and Population Health Management, to discuss how having a comprehensive employee wellbeing program can help your organization attract and retain top talent.

Creating plans that have a meaningful impact on employees’ health can be a tough task, so taking the time to evaluate your strategy is important. Whether you are looking for a new employee health plan or renewing your current plan, careful preparation can make your health plan renewals more effective.  

In this episode, we talk with Kelly Abbott, Vice President of CBIZ Employee Benefits, about how being prepared means knowing your situation and the alternatives that exist to select the best plan for your company and employees. 

We usually avoid using jargon, because let's face it - employee benefits is confusing enough without throwing acronyms into the mix! In this episode, we talk about an acronym (PEO - Professional Employer Organization) that is becoming so common we often forget it's even an acronym. Tune in to hear from CBIZ PEO Consulting Practice Lead and New Jersey native, Jim O’Connor, about the pros and cons of PEO’s and the considerations employers should take when deciding if a PEO is the right fit for their organization.

When we say Total Rewards, we mean the entire package – benefits beyond the standard health offerings, such as those focused on mental health and financial wellbeing.
