We reviewed 500+ employee benefits renewals this year. Across companies, the same problems kept surfacing: employers getting renewal numbers too late, making decisions without understanding their own risk data, and passing higher costs on to employees. In this webinar, we'll share what we found, where companies have more leverage than they think, and what you can do now to prepare for 2027.
- See what 500+ renewals revealed: Understand the trends, the size of the increases, and which companies were hit hardest.
- Know what to look for in your broker relationship: Learn which questions to ask and what information your broker should be bringing to the table.
- Understand what switching brokers actually takes: Hear from a CFO who made the move just weeks before renewal.
- Get ahead of your 2027 renewal: Know what data to request, what to review, and when to start.
