58. Stop Playing the Renewal Game: A Real Roadmap for Employer Healthcare Plans
Welcome back to The Business of Benefits Podcast – your no-BS, no-sales guide to real solutions in employee benefits.
In this solo episode, host Chelsea breaks down what it really means to have a multi-year healthcare strategy for your company. Instead of reacting to renewals at the last minute and hearing the same excuses year after year, Chelsea shows you how to treat your benefits program like a true business plan—with long-term goals, measurable KPIs, and strategies that actually deliver results.
You’ll hear a real client case study that has achieved five straight years of decreases by following a step-by-step benefits roadmap.
Chelsea also shares: ✅ What isn’t a multi-year healthcare strategy (the reactive renewal game) ✅ How to build a business plan for your benefits, just like any other department ✅ Why data access and employee trust are the foundation for long-term success ✅ The difference between a slow, steady approach and a “shock-and-awe” strategy ✅ Real savings examples—millions of dollars saved while improving employee experience
If you’re an employer tired of rising costs, empty promises, and lack of control, this episode will show you a better way to run your healthcare plan.
Whether you're an HR professional, CFO, CEO, or just tired of rising healthcare costs, this is your call to rethink benefits strategy and finally take control.
