Overview

Who Should Join

Benefits leaders, carriers, brokers, and workplace strategists. LIMRA members only.

Highlights

As healthcare costs continue to climb, employers are making difficult decisions about how to balance benefit affordability, workforce needs, and business priorities.

Join us for a data-driven discussion of new research examining how employers are responding to healthcare cost pressures and the downstream effects on workplace benefits, workforce outcomes, and employee enrollment. This session will explore how rising healthcare costs are influencing decisions across the entire benefits portfolio, the expanding role of voluntary benefits, and how organizations are reacting in response to cost increases.

Designed for benefits leaders, carriers, brokers, and workplace strategists, gain timely insights and practical considerations for navigating rising healthcare costs while maintaining a competitive and meaningful benefits offering.
