School District Streamlines Benefits Strategy & Cuts Costs

Table of Contents

Issue

Faced with inconsistent contributions and unaffordable premiums, this school district was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with their health benefits. Additionally, an inefficient communication strategy, which entailed the delivery of messaging to employees directly from the insurance carrier, resulted in even more confusion and frustration for both the client and their employees.

Solution

  • Our team streamlined and standardized the client’s contribution strategy.
  • We leveraged our innovative data analytics platform to create benchmark reports comparing the client’s benefits to those of other local districts.
  • In addition, we helped the client curate an effective communications strategy to boost employees’ understanding of their benefits.

Outcome

  • The local school district benchmark reports helped the client identify competitive and affordable dependent coverage.
  • We also shared these benchmark reports with the client’s employees to help exemplify the value of their benefits.
  • Our approach resulted in reduced premium costs for employees, while costs to the district didn’t increase.
