Making the case for investing in healthy outcomes | Segal Benz

This month, the Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI) releases its 2015 CFO survey, showing that—among other things—senior leaders get the connection between a healthy workforce and achieving strategic business goals. In fact, many see health benefits as an essential tool to attract, retain, and engage talent.  

The study revealed that most CFOs are closely involved in the health benefit decisions for their organizations—no surprise given the huge expense of employee benefits.

What is surprising is that less than half say cost control is their top priority. In fact, for many CFOs, attracting, retaining, and motivating performance trumps lowering costs.

We are proud to partner with IBI to create actionable insights from this research. We created the infographic below and the supporting presentation materials. We hope these will help benefits pros influence these critical financial decisions—and earn a permanent seat at the leadership table.

 

We’re looking forward to seeing IBI present this data at the 2016 IBI Annual Forum: Expanding the Value Proposition for Workforce Health: Connecting All the Pieces February 15–17 at The Westin St. Francis, San Francisco.

Hope to see you all there!
