How One Manufacturer Saved on Premiums and Won Employee Satisfaction

A mid-sized manufacturing company came to WiseInvest™ to review their benefit plans. During our evaluation, we discovered a surprising gap: despite paying significantly high premiums for extended health insurance, their employees remained dissatisfied with the coverage. In fact, the company was paying 50% more in premiums than the value employees actually used.

The Problem

1. High Costs: The company overspent on health insurance relative to actual usage.
2. Low Satisfaction: Employees felt gaps in family coverage and faced hefty out-of-pocket expenses.
3. Turnover Risk: Dissatisfied employees cited lackluster benefits as a major reason for seeking new jobs.

The Solution

WiseInvest™ recommended:

• Plan Realignment: We sourced alternative health insurance plans with more robust family coverage at lower premiums.
• Better Communication: We trained HR teams to clearly explain the new benefits, so employees could fully utilize them.

The Results

• Cost Savings: The company reduced its annual premium expenses by 25%.
• Happier Employees: Workers appreciated the improved benefits—especially health insurance plans for family—leading to lower turnover.
• Stronger Team: With clear communication and broader coverage, morale improved, and recruitment became easier.
