2024 Employee Benefits
Market Outlook Webinar

Wednesday, February 28, 2024 | 11 AM to 12 Noon PST

As the U.S. economy continues its turbulent path toward a soft landing, employers are generally seeing a reduction in unemployment and turnover.
Unfortunately, employers will face increased pressure from the employee benefits expense line, which will be fraught with challenges over the next 12 to 24 months.

• Expensive treatments, including new and emerging cell and gene therapies, GLP-1s and the usual array of specialty drugs will outpace their usual significant impact on total claims.
• Mental health claims, whether paid for by the plan or not, continue to impact many employers’ finances and productivity.
• Premiums are increasing due to staffing shortages and higher labor costs, and hospitals have more negotiating power as a result of consolidation.

A strategic approach to benefits planning and spending, with expert guidance, can help employers make decisions that contribute to employee satisfaction and business growth.

One (1) SHRM PDC will be awarded to qualified attendees of the live presentation.
