Seminar I | Risk Pool Management: How to Develop a Winning Health Plan

Eye-opening and strongly contrary to conventional wisdom, this foundational seminar establishes the critical thinking necessary to effectively manage a health plan. This seminar is for plan sponsors that are serious about optimizing recruitment and retention while helping to minimize cost and maximize employee satisfaction.

  • Why employers are failing at health plan management
  • How “best practices” are repelling the best talent and souring corporate culture
  • Why the industry benchmarks are wrong and are driving the costs of your health plan higher
  • How to structure your medical offering to increase the value of benefits and reduce costs

Thursday, April 11 | 1:00 – 5:00 PM

Seminar II | Cost Containment: How Wellness & Plan Design Can (and Can’t!) Improve Your Health Plan

Decision-makers are tasked with improving organizational health, satisfying recruitment/retention needs and managing the bottom line. This seminar presents a cutting-edge, competitively advantageous approach for risk managers and HR professionals with oversight of workers’ compensation, safety, and health & welfare.

  • The opportunities employers have to improve plan design and lower costs
  • The only kind of wellness program that works and why it has nothing to do with wellness
  • How good decision-making on a departmental basis is bad decision-making on an organizational basis
  • Why the marketplace is fearful of employers aggregating their data and how to exploit this
