This session will look at emerging trends in the employee benefits space with a critical view toward sustained strategy versus fad.
For most organizations, the cost of the current employee benefits plan represents the second to fifth largest budget expense. With costs expected to substantially outpace general inflation the promise of a new magic fix can blur the perspective of otherwise prudent decision makers. By understanding the emerging strategies and developing a long-term view, plan sponsors can develop a plan to focus on the new sustainable strategies and avoid chasing short term fads. This session will provide you with:
- An understanding of cost drivers in employee benefit plans.
- An understanding of the emerging benefits trends.
- A plan for critical analysis and determination of trends in your environment.
- Tools and resources for developing a plan strategy.
