With health care costs expected to increase 8.5% in 2024, employers are considering cost-management strategies that do not pass costs on to already financially stressed employees.
Less than half of employees feel their employer communicates details about their
benefits offering extremely or very well. To improve the enrollment process,
personalization and support tools can help.
With 65% of full-time employees at large U.S. companies experiencing at least one
unmet basic need, employers – and their employee benefits programs – must play a
significant role in advancing health equity.
Allowing flexible and hybrid working may play a role, especially where otherwise the costs of commuting and/or extended childcare would become prohibitive for workers.
Thanks to a collaborative approach among health insurers, patients and employers, cost containment and positive consumer experiences are possible, say Harvard Pilgrim Health Care experts.
As companies continue to grapple with the impact of the global pandemic, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care's Dr. Anthony Sossong and Beth Roberts discuss how it is changing the way employers view health care benefits, especially emotional well-being and mental health benefits.
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care's Director of Population Health Improvement, Tami Ireland, joins Beth Roberts, SVP, Commercial Business, to discuss how programs are adapting to help employees stay safe and supported emotionally.
