Healthcare costs continue to rise, but many employers and employees are left wondering why they’re paying more while receiving less.

In this episode of Dear HR Insider, host Cinthia Williams is joined by Cooper People Group’s President & Chief People Officer, Lisa Cooper, and special guest Kerry Simmons, Global Sales Executive at Nomi Health, to explore how employers can rethink their healthcare strategy through greater transparency and a more direct approach to care.

The conversation focuses on one important question: What if we could remove unnecessary complexity from healthcare and redirect those savings back to employers and employees?

Kerry shares how Nomi Health is helping organizations eliminate unnecessary middlemen, simplify healthcare navigation, and create better outcomes for employees, all while helping employers better manage healthcare spending.

• Why healthcare costs continue to rise
• How transparency can improve employee healthcare experience
• The value of removing unnecessary intermediaries in healthcare
• Why understanding your workforce is essential when designing benefits
• The life-changing impact a different healthcare model can have on employees and their families

This episode challenges employers to think differently about healthcare benefits and the opportunities available to create better outcomes for both their people and their organization.
