Self-funded benefits: A $3.6 million success story
When one of our clients faced an eight-figure budget deficit and rising insurance premiums, traditional cost-cutting wasn't the answer. By switching to a self-funded benefits model, they achieved $3.6 million in annual savings while maintaining competitive benefits for staff.
This change led to more predictable costs, customized coverage and greater transparency that allowed them to redirect resources back to priorities.
