Fire your CFO! If your CFO is not sitting at the table with the benefits broker/consultant and HR, then they should be fired. Why? They are letting the health carrier, or even the broker/consultant, charge too much for a benefits package. 

The proof is in the data. Where is your data? 

Listen to this podcast and discover how deep the data can go for the renewal. We even review broker compensation models, when you should pay more, and when to pay less. 

If your CFO isn't looking at the financial data of a health plan, then you should fire them.

Strategy is everything, and at the same time, it could be nothing. Sometimes, you have to change your strategy to change your outcomes.

Insanity. 

Listen in to hear about changing your strategy. Nothing happens overnight. Start now, start today. Change your results to align with your goals.

The biggest reason employees leave their jobs is due to culture and benefits package. Employers are tasked with being creative when getting their employees to become loyal to their company.

If you determine ways to engage your employees more, they will enroll in more benefits offerings. Ultimately, they become more productive in the workplace as a result. 

Join Chris and Butch as they talk through this Shopping Spree idea to get employees engaged and have better outcomes for the company. Meet the employees where they are at.

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.

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.
