Beyond Benefits: Whole Person Health in Practice

Healthcare costs are rising, employee needs are becoming more complex, and adding more benefits is no longer the answer.

From primary care and mental health to obesity, AI, and point-solution fatigue, the conference will focus on practical strategies that improve employee health, experience, and affordability.

Fiduciary Risk Is Rising: How to Defend Your Health Plan Decisions

With projected health benefit cost increases approaching 9% and growing scrutiny around GLP-1 coverage, PBM strategy, and vendor performance, employers are increasingly expected to defend not only outcomes—but the decisions behind them.

Fiduciary responsibility is no longer simply a compliance exercise. It requires documented oversight, transparent decision-making, and governance processes that can withstand CFO, regulatory, and legal review.

This session focuses on what fiduciary proof looks like in practice and how employers and advisors can implement governance frameworks that are continuous, documented, and financially defensible.
