It does not have to be that way. We surveyed 500+ leaders at small and midsize companies about what they actually paid per employee this year\, how hard the increase hit\, what it forced them to trade off\, and who pushed back versus accepted the first number. This session presents the findings live and benchmarks the room against them in real time\, so you will see exactly where your plan sits. You will leave with a practical pre-renewal framework: what data to request from your broker\, when to start\, which benchmarks matter at your company size\, and what the companies that beat their increase did differently. Learning objectives: Benchmark your company's health insurance premium and most recent renewal increase against new survey data from 500+ peer companies Identify what is actually driving your renewal increase\, including the workforce health and risk data carriers use to price your plan before you ever see a number Apply a 30-day pre-renewal checklist covering the data\, breakdowns\, and alternatives to request before your renewal packet arrives Interactive format: live polling throughout\, with room results displayed against the national survey data in real time.
