Employer Healthcare Benefits
Conference
Maximise benefits whilst Mininising
costs for Employers
In association with Dermot Goode, Total Health Cover
Don’t want to spend any more money than
you have to?
This conference will help you to start saving on Employee Healthcare benefits.
Most employers are in a no-win situation when it comes to managing their healthcare
costs. Controlling future healthcare costs is a serious challenge facing HR
departments & employers.
Rates continue to rise each year; product complexity is at an all-time high; employees
want to pay less benefit-in-kind charges; you’re never certain that you’re getting the
best deal from your provider; you’d like to introduce new healthcare benefits but you
can’t increase your overall spend; you’re reluctant to switch provider for fear of losing
cover; you’d like to consider an allowance model but don’t know how to transition to
same; you want the workforce to better understand their benefits and to offer them
appropriate Wellness services, and the list goes on. At the same time, it’s a valuable
benefit that needs to remain competitive to attract and retain the right staff.
This must be achieved without compromising on the key aspects of your cover or
undermining the overall competitiveness of your offering. Too many employers are
locked into a spiral of rising costs whilst still providing dated benefits. They are
missing out on enhanced cover, corporate discounts, concessions and Wellness
services to name a few. There are also a range of new complementary healthcare
benefits that most employers don’t know even exist!
In terms of attracting new staff, maintaining the competitiveness of your healthcare
benefits, tailoring your offering to fit your company profile, and understanding how to
take control of these costs is critical for all organisations across the technology,
pharma and other industry sectors.
This Summit will show you how to achieve all of the above. We will update you on the
latest trends in the market and tell you whic h cost-control techniques work and which
ones to avoid. We’ll show you the best deals across all providers and how to
maximise your terms and conditions on costs and benefits. We’ll introduce you to the
new complementary healthcare benefits including Wellness services and discuss how
these can be incorporated into your existing healthcare model often at no additional
cost. This inaugural event is key for all HR, Finance professionals and CEO's in the
SME sector. Irrespective of your industry sector or organisation size, if you provide
healthcare benefits for your workforce, this is for you. This event will include
opportunities to network and meet with the healthcare providers to discuss your
organisation’s requirements.
Most importantly, you’ll get all your specific questions answered by an industry expert!
