Friends with Employee Benefits

It’s an extraordinary time in human capital management. CHRO’s are in lockstep with the c-suite as they determine how to fundamentally reshape how they operate. Leaders are quickly realizing there is no such thing as a “new normal.” Rather, they must completely rethink the employer-employee relationship.

Jason Lauritsen, employee engagement expert and keynote speaker, joins the podcast to discuss why employee engagement is crucial to a company's success and what it means in our current environment, what he finds is the biggest issue employers face with engagement, how to leverage feedback the right way to empower employees and much more. If you're in a management position - you must give this a listen.

About Jason Lauritsen

Far too many people are suffering through bad experiences at work. I was one of them. After years of frustration, I discovered that it didn’t have to be this way. That is when I realized my calling: to make work human. Over the past twenty years, I’ve experimented with management and leadership from a variety of perspectives. I’ve been both a start-up CEO and F1000 corporate executive. I’ve led small and large teams. And, I’ve spent well over a decade studying, researching, and designing solutions for employee engagement. Whether I’m speaking, training, writing or consulting, my goal is always the same. To help people think differently about work so they can make work better. I use stories of my life experience as an entrepreneur, executive, spouse, father, and human being to make the message relatable and entertaining.

Connecticut Paid Family Leave Update

Keeping track of state legislation, as well as national leave trends, is essential to better support your employees as paid family leave becomes more and more complex. According to the EEOC, the average cost of defending a family medical leave lawsuit is $78,000, and if found guilty of wrongful termination, damages can range from $87,000 to $450,000.

Sandwiched between New York and Massachusetts, we've seen how intricate the process can be which is why it's important to get ahead of the curve now to be better prepared with what's to come with Connecticut Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML). This episode is great for those just starting to dig into the new law or those who want a quick refresher!

To continue this conversation, check out our latest advisory webinar where Andrea Barton Reeves, CEO of the CT Paid Leave Authority, Rich Lombard from Guardian and our internal taskforce tackle this topic in detail.

A Discussion Around The Election, Prescription Drugs & Lowering Costs

Business & HR Leaders were bracing for rising benefits costs this year - and that was before the pandemic. Pharmacy benefits typically represent nearly 30% of a company's total healthcare expenses and are predicted to increase by roughly 6% annually through 2025. This week's episode dives into what employers can be doing to manage their costs, how to help employees maximize their drug benefit, and the impact the election may have on prescription drugs.

About OneDigital Pharmacy Consulting
Prescription drugs are not only an integral part of the benefits you offer but ensure your employees receive quality healthcare. In an era of Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) consolidation, skyrocketing specialty drug cost and over-utilization, 10-15% of pharmacy spend is lost due to unfavorable pharmacy contracts. Mismanaged pharmacy benefits can result in excess Rx spend up to 20%.

Through a comprehensive clinical review and thorough customer education, OneDigital’s pharmacy consultants take a unique approach that combines an in-depth claims analysis, emphasizes appropriate utilization and a rigorous provider contracting process to take risk-mitigation to the next level.
