DETAILS:
With health care coverage continuing to evolve, a growing number of employers are offering their workforce access to high deductible health plans (HDHP). However, in some instances these plans have been met with resistance by employees who perceive the coverage as less valuable, with some even opting to scale back use of their benefits for fear of incurring extra costs. In order to overcome this perception and encourage participation, employers need to leverage a mix of strategic communication and education.
During this SHRM webcast sponsored by GuideSpark, Larry Boress, president and CEO of the Midwest Business Group on Health will discuss strategies for communicating the benefits of HDHPs to employees. Drawing on the experience of his own organization, Boress will share real-life examples and demonstrate how HDHP plans can actually help employees to lower costs and offer greater control of their health care planning. In addition, Joanne Abate, assistant vice president of Global Health and Insurance Programs at Unum will detail the communication techniques Unum used to encourage employees to take action during the first active enrollment period when HDHP was offered at the organization.
HR professionals and business leaders in the areas of benefits are encouraged to attend this complimentary webinar. Session attendees will take away actionable insights for building and implementing successful communication strategies that help employees understand the value of HDHP.
