Learn How a CFO/CHRO Lowered Employee Health Care Costs and How You Can Replicate It

2020 Annual Conference & Exposition

Steve Watson was shocked when he got a 30% rate increase a few years ago. As a CFO/CHRO at his company, he had to balance not only how to recruit and retain employees but also how to pay for the benefits each year. He decided to dive into the components of the plan and what he found made him even more shocked. He found a world of waste, misaligned incentives, and frankly a plan that was set up for the insurance carriers to win and for the employer/employees to lose. So, Steve decided to rebuild his plan in a way that benefited both the employer and employees. With some small changes that didn't impact any of his employees, he was able to lower his costs by 20% for both the employer and all of the employees. Now Steve wants to share his story with you so you can replicate what he did.

Steve Watson has a diverse background and a lot of titles after his name - CEO, CFO, CHRO, and CPA. All the different titles he wears could be confusing, but Steve has found a unique way to put them all together and complement each other.

This is especially true in his role as CEO of Trendbreakers, a consulting business where his extensive knowledge and skills meet to help other companies break the trend of rising healthcare costs. He is also a nationally known speaker, hosts a podcast three times each week, and is a married father of seven.
