In session one of Renewals Unfiltered, we prepped you with the forecast and what your broker should be doing. Now it’s time to talk about the levers you can pull to control costs.
Knowing the renewal market is tough is only half the battle. The other half is knowing what you can do about it, and how to bring your whole organization along for the ride.
Join Nava’s benefits experts for a practical breakdown of the options available to mid-market employers this renewal season, and a honest look at what it takes to get your C-suite, your HR team, and your employees aligned and ready.
Part 1: Your options, explained
We’ll walk through the levers that actually move the needle — from funding strategy, to alternative marketplace options, PBM management, and more. No jargon, no fluff. Just a clear-eyed look at what’s available and what makes sense for companies your size.
Part 2: Getting your org ready
A tough renewal isn’t just a benefits problem. It touches finance, leadership, and your employees. We’ll talk through how to align your internal stakeholders, navigate the tradeoffs, and walk into renewal season as a team — not a single person absorbing all the pressure.
Part 3: Your next move
We’ll close with the concrete steps worth taking this week, so you leave with a plan instead of a list of things to think about.
Plenty of time for live Q&A. Come with questions.
