Over the past several years, we’ve seen unprecedented medical inflation, causing many employers to ask how to control benefit costs and increase productivity. After exhausting the supply side of healthcare through decreased benefits, spousal carve-outs, etc., employers seem to be running out of options.

One can boast employees who are always excited about tackling the next part of the project, look for innovative ways to add value, and strive to outdo themselves on a daily basis. The other is filled with team members who are just there for the paycheck and are likely keeping an eye out for a more fulfilling position elsewhere.
