Even before the pandemic, healthcare, and the ability to obtain good healthcare, was always a hot-button, headline-making issue. Affordable healthcare and maintaining a healthy workforce is crucial for any business and represents one of the leading factors potential employees seek when job hunting. With that in mind, PMMI and NAM, The National Association of Manufacturers, collaborated to offer Fortune-500 level benefits to companies via NAM Healthcare. Paul Hartgen, vice president, member and business services, NAM, and Wendee Wood, partner at Mercer Health and Benefits, join the podcast and discuss NAM Healthcare and how small and medium-sized manufacturing companies can obtain this life-saving benefit.

Suzanne Delbanco calls Peter Kilmartin, Consultant Effectiveness Leader and US Leadership Team at Mercer Health & Benefits, to discuss the four areas where employers can build out their health care purchasing strategy. With the Vitals For Change Scorecard, co-developed by Mercer and CPR, employers can benchmark their benefits purchasing strategy against their peers based on how they are 1) paying for value, 2) driving to quality, 3) personalizing the experience, and 4) embracing disruption. Peter shares anecdotes from the field, including how some CEO's are now viewing disruption with a positive connotation in their quest to improve the health care experience and outcomes of their employees.
