Paul Wilson is the editor-in-chief of BenefitsPRO Magazine and BenefitsPRO.com. He has covered the insurance industry for more than a decade, including stints at Retirement Advisor Magazine and ProducersWeb.
Benefits advisors need to work closely with HR leaders and benefits administration providers to look at budgets and help them re-discover how core benefits can provide a total wellbeing approach to employees and their dependents. Here are nine ways they can do just that.
During a recent EBRI-Milken Institute 2024 Retirement Symposium panel, a group of industry thought leaders discussed financial wellness and what it means employers and advisors.
A robust generative AI platform with the needed underpinnings around data and human capital enables benefit consultants to provide new and deeper answers and insights into the challenges the industry has faced as we have endeavored to both offset and manage continuously high cost of care and annual trends.
Discouraging trends in a new Aquent talent study provides opportunities for companies to examine how to build high-performing teams and fairly compensate them.
The intricate dance between case managers, benefits consultants, and health care providers is often marred by communication disconnects, leading to fragmented patient care and costly insurance reimbursement denials.
TIAA Institute's new State of Financial Preparedness report raises questions about whether or not incoming retirees will enjoy financial security, particularly as lifespans continue to lengthen and the economy remains tumultuous.
Despite bottlenecks caused by higher than expected dispute resolution claims, the federal No Surprises Act appears to be living up to its name, according to a new survey by AHIP and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.
I've talked to countless colleagues from around the country who are at their wit's end with abusive clients, ill-mannered employees of clients, overworked staff, and personal exhaustion.
