As healthcare costs rise and benefits programs grow more complex, employers face a critical question: how can we maximize the value of our benefits investments while improving outcomes for employees?

This webinar explores why many benefits strategies fail to deliver, and what it takes to build a more effective, sustainable approach — covering escalating costs, vendor proliferation, employee engagement hurdles, and the growing demands on HR teams. Panelists will share practical strategies for simplifying offerings, strengthening accountability, and driving greater value from the health and well-being investments you already have.

Designed for employer benefits leaders, HR professionals, brokers, consultants, and other healthcare professionals, with real-world perspectives on today’s benefits challenges.

Washington’s health care system is under real strain: rising costs, uneven access, and a workforce stretched thin. Incremental fixes haven’t closed the gap, and the old playbook isn’t working fast enough.

This session asks a hard question: what does it take to disrupt a system so resistant to change? We’ll hear from voices outside the traditional health care establishment alongside employers, clinicians, and health plan leaders grappling with the same affordability crisis from the inside. The goal isn’t another alignment conversation — it’s a candid look at where disruption is already working, where the system is still pushing back, and how close we are to a breaking point.
