I've spent the last 6 months speaking with people leaders, insurance brokers, worker advocates and insurance carriers and the only way to slow down the speeding train of healthcare costs is #preventivecare. We need more and better #primarycare and #diseaseprevention to help #employers manage healthcare costs. A hidden cost driving expenses for employers is a huge gap in #hearinghealth. Loud work environments and high earphone use are driving an increase in hearing loss for those in our forties. This pushes up healthcare costs, workers comp and workplace slip-and-falls, while dragging down productivity, collaboration and wellbeing. The good news? The solution is simple - and available in 2026 on a voluntary, employee direct-bill basis. #employeebenefits #hr #peopleoperations #wellbeing #roi #accidents #riskmanagement #losscontrol Jessica Reece Kali Pearce Heather Malyuk Danny Aronson Nick Soman Robert Lafferty Claire Levitt Robert Boerrigter Angela Platta Brendan Fahey Keith Young Andrea Zikul, REBC® David Contorno Larry Cass, MPH Ben Bohonowicz Dave Erickson Tracey Heeter Allen Tom Batchelder Tom Morrissey Beth Robertson Dave Ratcliffe Tom Zumtobel Deanna Strable-Soethout Robert Zielinski Michael Lagalante Billy MacNair Jake Bendler FLMI, CBC Leena Johns, MD Ken Wosczyna Jamie Murphy Angela Platta Shawn Phillips Jason Montrie
