SMART CUTS: 10 Ways to Control Cost with the Least Impact on Employees

At the onset of a global pandemic, HR leaders were tasked with stabilizing benefit programs to support employees as much as possible during extraordinary times. During the Great Resignation, HR leaders were tasked with enhancing and ensuring benefit programs were useful for employee retention. In the last year HR leaders have been tasked with expanding mental health support within benefit plans against a wave of unprecedented need. Now at full employment, and a potential recession on the horizon, HR leaders are tasked with tightening the budget. Meet this task by knowing the areas where costs can be contained with the least impact to your employee population.

In this deep dive on benefit cost management, learn about the SMART CUTS – the top 10 areas to find cost savings in your benefit program while impacting the fewest people possible.
