Consider Your Benefits Renewals Questions Answered

Let's face it, benefits renewals are a tough nut to crack.

Dealing with rising costs, employee needs, recruiting expectations, and the watchful eyes of the C-Suite can make your head spin.

And with good reason — the stats show that this season is predicted to bring an average rise in medical plan costs per employee of 5.6 percent*. Despite this, 2/3 of employers are planning to enhance their health and benefits offerings in 2023 to improve attraction and retention or better meet employee needs**.
