Shots, Schedules & Sick Days: A Fall Readiness Guide for Employers

Join Dr. Mark and his special guests Dr. Christopher Chen and Dr. Vin Gupta talk about health questions, concerns, and issues that employees might have during this ‘Back-to-School’ season and how these can impact employers.

Rising costs, fragmented point solutions, and low employee engagement are making benefits administration more challenging than ever. HR Benefits and Employee Experience teams are under increasing pressure to demonstrate ROI—but limited resources and legacy systems make real progress difficult.

Discover how one employer tackled benefits complexity with AI—reducing HR load, boosting employee engagement, and proving real impact.

Pharmacy benefit costs continue to rise—even for employers who are actively managing their plans. Specialty drugs now represent just 2% of prescriptions but drive nearly 60% of total spend.

Our speakers will break down the often-overlooked cost drivers and share practical steps HR leaders and benefits advisors can take to improve visibility and performance.

You’ll walk away with:

• How to spot hidden and not-so-hidden pharmacy cost drivers
• Key contract terms that may limit savings
• Steps to improve oversight and recover savings

They’ll share real stories of companies who uncovered six-figure savings—not by cutting benefits, but by identifying gaps in contracts, oversight, and data transparency.

Employers will walk away with tips for better oversight, smarter contract reviews, and clearer data.
