Creative Benefits Strategies for Minnesota Employers in a Post-COVID-19 World

Despite all the changes, rules, and guidelines brought about by COVID-19, benefit renewal dates will stay the same. What hasn’t stayed the same is your employee counts, your claims, and the state of healthcare as a whole. 

It’s time to start thinking about how to get creative and educate yourself on some of the strategies that other companies are using to save cost and increase employee engagement. Topics covered: Cost Saving Considerations, Unique Benefit Offerings, and a Sneak Peek into Minnesota Carrier renewal strategies.
