Organizations of all sizes across the country are facing a plague of rising healthcare costs. Every year, employers see their investment in employee healthcare increase. Most executives feel helpless and are unable to reign in those costs which now represent their number two or number three budget line item.Historically, it was nearly impossible to predict and control a company’s healthcare budget, but today, due to new solutions, strategies, technology, and a wealth of data, business leaders can (and are) taking back control of their healthcare budgets to reclaim trapped profits while actually creating healthier, happier employees that are more fulfilled and more productive.As a next generation benefits adviser, I have the privilege of helping employers achieve those game-changing results and break through the status quo of simply accepting increasing healthcare costs year after year.Brokering insurance and negotiating the lowest cost increase is no longer a sustainable, viable, or preferred approach to managing a company’s healthcare investment. What’s required today is a legitimate consultative and strategic approach that solves the problem long-term. This new approach is healthcare supply chain management. This model allows companies to apply the same effective cost-control practices they leverage in other parts of the organization to their healthcare costs – the process eliminates wasted expenses, redirects dollars to produce a measurable ROI, and optimizes the employee healthcare experience creating a more loyal, productive, and profitable workforce. If you want happier and more productive employees, and a long-term healthcare strategy that adds to your EBITDA, then let’s chat. I’m not certain my approach will work for your organization, but I’m willing to invest a few minutes to find out and at least answer your questions.
