For most companies with 25 to 200 employees, health insurance is now a top three expense, and renewals keep arriving with high single digit or double digit increases and little explanation. 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.
