Why Is Cancer So Expensive, and What Can HR Managers Do About It?

Despite the crucial role of cancer screenings in early detection and treatment, low adherence rates pose significant challenges. In addition, the US Preventive Services Task Force currently recommends only four single-cancer screenings, while cancers without recommended screenings represent ~70% of cancer deaths. This limitation leaves many cancers undetected until later stages when outcomes are worse. Additionally, late-stage cancer costs employers over $90,000 per employee annually, compared to when caught at earlier stages.

Step Away from the Medicine Cabinet: Embracing Movement as Medicine

Chronic pain affects more than the body. It takes a toll on mental health, overall wellbeing, and workplace productivity. Traditional treatments can lead to costly medical interventions such as medication or surgery that can result in more pain, depression and anxiety. New clinical research finds that conservative care, which focuses on non-invasive treatments and lifestyle changes, significantly shifts how pain is treated. Hear how PG&E and Allstate are embracing conservative care to reduce costs and improve employee wellbeing.

The Heart of Cardiometabolic Care has Always Been Obesity

Cardiometabolic conditions drive significant health care spending. What do these conditions have in common?

Steel has addressed cardiometabolic conditions with a science-based comprehensive obesity program.

Gen Z: Reimagining Health Benefits for a Next-gen Workforce

As employers engage workers from four distinct generations, the group they have the least experience with is Generation Z. While ample research exists about how Gen Z views work-related topics like career goals, purpose and fulfillment, and work-life balance, fewer studies have focused on how employers can support this generation’s health and productivity. Our research revealed one major reason employers should refashion their health benefits for the next generation: Many Gen Z workers don’t feel “well.” Across all key aspects of wellbeing, Gen Z employees appear to struggle more than employees of other generations, with the most significant gaps in mental health and work life. This session will explore how employers can support Gen Z’s health benefit needs through a reimagined annual enrollment process, new entry points into the health system, and abandoning the stereotype that this generation only wants digital communication.

Controlling Costs, Improving Lives: How to Optimize Your Weight Care Spending

Even though GLP-1 demand continues to rise, benefits leaders remain cautious about how to approach coverage for this class of drugs to treat obesity. While this medication has proven successful for weight loss, if coverage exists, it can lead to employers facing challenges such as high medication utilization, increased spending, low adherence rates, and more. Cost-containment measures and alternative anti-obesity medications offer employers a new path to expanding access to personalized weight care without skyrocketing costs.

Join us for a deep dive into cost-containment measures, the evolving landscape of anti-obesity medications, and a real-world example of how an employer is improving employee health. Plus, we’ll discuss program design elements that benefits leaders should consider when evaluating solutions to drive a positive ROI.

  • Understand the direct and indirect challenges surrounding GLP-1 utilization
  • Cost-containment measures employers can implement to manage high medication spending
  • The new care pathways available to employees through alternative anti-obesity medications
  • Program design elements that enable employers to effectively evaluate weight care solutions

Building a Resilient Benefits Strategy: Leveraging the Past to Protect the Future

Global pandemics, groundbreaking specialty drugs, cybersecurity threats…as we’ve witnessed in the last five years, there is no shortage of surprises – good or bad – in health care. It’s impossible to risk-proof your benefits strategy, but there are ways to take a defensive approach. In this workshop, we will explore how historical data and trends can be powerful tools for navigating current and future challenges. The workshop is designed to equip employer benefits teams with actionable insights, grounded in enriched data, into the direction health care is moving in so that they can proactively shape their strategy. You will have the opportunity to scrutinize industry and regional benchmarks to understand what they mean in context, and help answer questions like, “How do I actually compare to my peers?” and “Where can we be performing better?” We will then layer the data in this exercise with advanced predictive modeling, to project future trends and engage in scenario planning. By the end of the session, you’ll have strategies to mitigate risk, insights into the key areas for consideration over the next 5-10 years, and an understanding of how meaningfully enhanced metrics and data capabilities can set your organization up for success.
