Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Will Brown, Managing Partner of The Benefits Group, who highlights how his company is able to help small to mid-sized businesses around the nation offer “Fortune 500 benefits” to their employees.
During the interview, Will discusses the importance of benefits in attracting and retaining talent, especially for small businesses. He emphasizes that offering benefits tells a story about the company’s care for its employees, and how employers can explore a number of creative benefit options. Will explains how health insurance costs can be significantly reduced by providing more information to underwriters and exploring alternative funding platforms. He suggests that small businesses can offer competitive benefits packages by budgeting a fixed amount per employee and utilizing creative plan structures. Will also shares tips for both employers and employees to save on healthcare costs, such as self-insuring the gap in high-deductible plans and employees asking healthcare providers about outpatient surgery options to potentially reduce costs for procedures. He stresses the crucial role employers play in providing access to affordable health coverage and mentions the ICHRA as an option for very small businesses to offer health benefits. He wraps up talking about their desire to serve as a resource for business owners and how business owners can access their integrated intake link for quotes and more information on benefit options.
