Benefit cost increases regularly eclipse all other costs for organizations, yet bringing costs down is illusive. Now corporate priorities are swinging from solely a focus on talent to the need to actively manage benefit expenses, but no one wants to reduce benefits or ask employees to pay more.

Join two total rewards experts, Alex Anderson and Leo Tokar, for an in-depth discussion on tactics to efficiently and effectively control and manage benefit cost. This session will address critical questions such as:

What are the driving factors driving cost increases?
What are specific tactics that will allow you to control cost drivers?
How do you manage costs not just for 1 year, but 3-5 years out?
What are the tools you need to manage costs effectively?
