Finding a sustainable way of funding health benefits for employees is by far the most important issue employers currently face and will continue to face in coming years. Strategies to contain costs by employers have varied from shifting costs to employees to implementing disease management initiatives, all with varying degrees of success. Now is the ideal time for employers to examine approaches that help manage these rising costs through a paradigm shift - understanding the management of health benefits as human capital and that a healthy employee is your greatest asset.
