08/01/2016

As we enter July, employers are preparing for fall’s open enrollment.

Open Enrollment is more involved than just a simple tweak to a benefits plan – it’s a way employers can become more strategic in helping their employees while saving money and increasing engagement.

Needless to say, selecting the right plan is vital to the health of any organization. The impact of a good or bad health benefits plan could have lasting effects on an employer.

In this episode, McGohan Brabender CEO Scott McGohan and Shareholder Anne Marie Singleton discuss open enrollment plans. The two discuss how surcharges are necessary and how involved employers should be in their employee’s health.

If you’re looking for cost-saving strategies while increasing employee morale, you do not want to miss this episode.
