Building the business case, securing buy-in and moving to rollout
Many organisations aspire to extend health benefits to their whole workforce, but stall at ‘noble intent’. With careful planning, reward and benefits leaders can move successfully from intent to implementation.
The webinar will explore the practical journey focusing on three critical areas: building the economic and strategic case for investment; creating early alignment across the C-suite and wider stakeholder community; and designing an implementation approach that balances accessibility, affordability and long-term sustainability.
The expert panel will share their strategies, experiences and lessons of taking whole-of-workforce healthcare from proposal to reality, including how to: develop the evidence that resonates with the CFO and senior leadership; engage HR, unions and employee representatives early; work effectively with advisers and providers; and build the internal support and communications strategy needed to deliver change successfully across diverse workforce populations.
Key discussion points
• Building a business case for whole-of-workforce health benefits
• Quantifying the cost of delayed access to care and workforce ill-health
• Sequencing internal stakeholder buy-in to avoid pitfalls
• Engaging unions and other external stakeholders early to build trust and avoid barriers down the line
• Designing an affordable model that can work across the whole workforce
• Planning for rollout and measuring ongoing proof of value
