The Problem

Renewal Costs Aren't Slowing Down

Benefit renewal costs have risen substantially over the past several years, putting increasing pressure on business owners, HR teams, and employees. The increases aren't new, but the pace has become unsustainable. And most companies still start preparing too late to do anything about it.

  • Facing double-digit cost increases with no clear path forward
  • Struggling to explain rising premiums to employees without losing top talent
  • Running out of time to explore alternative cost strategies
  • Absorbing prescription drug costs that are simply unsustainable

If you haven't started your renewal strategy yet, you're already behind.
This webinar gives you the framework to get ahead — now.

What's Behind the Increases

The real factors behind continued healthcare and Rx cost hikes — and what's causing double-digit renewals for employers right now.

Renewal trend data from the past two years — what it means for your next renewal and why waiting is no longer a viable strategy.

03
How to Prepare Without Passing Costs to Employees

Practical strategies to absorb less of the increase — and protect your team without gutting your benefits package.

04
Why Prescription Drug Costs Keep Climbing

Prescription drugs are one of the fastest-growing drivers of benefit cost increases. We'll cover what's behind the spike and the options employers have to manage this growing expense.

05
5 Key Strategies to Start Now

A concrete action plan employers can use right now — before the renewal conversation starts and options run out.

Your Hosts

A Smarter Way to Approach Renewals

Today's environment requires more than shopping your renewal. You need a TPA that reduces admin burden, a broker who evaluates every option, and a strategy built around your business. That's where Helpside and GBS come together.

Helpside Provides
  • Streamlined HR, payroll, and compliance support
  • Reduced administrative burden — save 30–40 hours per month
  • A dedicated team you know by name, not a call center
  • Extension of your HR team without adding headcount
  • 35+ years supporting businesses nationwide
GBS Provides
  • Access to better healthcare strategies and group options
  • Prescription cost optimization and savings strategies
  • Strategic benefit consulting tailored to your business
  • Broker-led solutions to find the best overall fit
  • No one-size-fits-all approach — the right fit for your business, not a forced solution

Together, Helpside and GBS give employers access to better plan structures, smarter strategies, and the support to actually implement them.
