Anyone else feeling the grind of back-to-back meetings as we sprint toward year-end?
Same here. Ready for the weekend!
But before I log off, I made time to tune into Mercer’s webinar series: Navigating HR Strategies for a Transformative 2025.
For those of you in health and benefits who couldn’t attend, here’s the standout theme you’ll need to tackle next year:
Costs are rising.
No shock there, especially in healthcare, but here’s the context: a projected 5.8% increase in 2025—making it the second-highest year-over-year jump since 2013. The only higher increase? 2021, right after the pandemic.
So, what does this mean for employers?
Cost containment isn’t just a priority—it’s THE priority.
Forget cost savings; holding the line on rising costs will be a win. According to employers surveyed, the #1 strategy for the next 3-5 years is mitigating high-cost claims and claimants.
Where do you start? Audit who’s actually on your health plan.
