Description

Brown & Brown holds complimentary events throughout the year to help educate employers on the importance of thinking differently about healthcare and how to develop winning strategies for their organizations. We invite you to join us at the Supply Chain Hall of Fame where our presenter Dave Ross will illustrate why so many employers are set up for failure when it comes to managing their health plans. He will explain what's truly driving the increasing costs of your health plan and what you can do to effectively manage them. We will discuss how managing the health of your employees, affordable access to care, and preserving the bottom line do not have to be mutually exclusive. And, how you can convert your health plan into a tool to keep existing employees and stand out from your competitors to attract new talent. This event is for Human Resource and Finance professionals seeking to better understand how to address the true costs associated with health care and how to make more informed decisions going into 2023. The details are outlined below. This session will be well worth your time…not to mention food, drinks, giveaways, and 2.0 SHRM and HRCI credits.
