As employee benefit costs continue to rise year after year, many treasury and finance teams feel stuck. Benefits can’t be cut without damaging hiring, retention, and employee satisfaction, but the cost increases place continuous strain on the corporate budget. As we head into a new year, it’s important for treasury and finance professionals to fully understand their organization’s options.

This webcast will explore the differences between these models and the benefits of each. Register now to discover how midmarket treasury and finance teams have saved more than $100 million in health benefits costs over the past decade.
