Improving health benefits literacy is more than a perk—it’s essential for a thriving workplace. Many employees struggle to understand their health plans, leading to missed preventive care, stress, and financial challenges. Employers have the power to change this. By fostering health benefits literacy, we enable employees to make informed decisions, boosting satisfaction, productivity, and even reducing organizational healthcare costs. Here’s how employers can take action: ?? Onboarding Education: Include health benefits training in new hire programs. ?? Workshops: Host regular sessions to explain plan options and key terms. ?? Accessible Resources: Offer guides, FAQs, and webinars for easy access. ?? Personalized Support: Collaborate with insurers or navigators for one-on-one guidance. Clear, simple communication can make all the difference in helping employees maximize their benefits and prioritize their well-being.

Organizations that prioritize health see more than just cost savings—they build environments where employees feel valued and supported. At HealthNEXT, we help companies create self-sustaining cultures of health and wellbeing that lead to enhanced performance, better talent acquisition, and reduced turnover rates Let’s redefine what it means to care for your workforce, talk to a NEXTpert today.

Effective healthcare communication begins with truly understanding your audience and presenting information in a way that feels relatable and clear. Many employees may not be familiar with complex benefits terminology or deductions related to their healthcare plans, and simplifying the message can make a significant difference. For instance, instead of saying, “Your premium contribution will increase by 10%,” it might resonate more to say, “If your current contribution is $50 per paycheck, it will increase to $55 starting next month. Employers can also task their vendor partners and health plans with providing benefits materials and healthcare communications that are accessible to everyone. This includes simplifying language, explaining terms clearly, and using relatable examples to make information easier to understand. When employees feel empowered with knowledge, they’re more likely to engage with their benefits and make informed choices about their health. At HealthNEXT, we prioritize health literacy and effective communication as best practice pillars in our approach to helping organizations build and sustain cultures of health and wellbeing.

At HealthNEXT, we’ve always believed that building a culture of health and wellbeing is key to improving employee lives and controlling healthcare costs—and we have the data to prove it. Our research has demonstrated a strong correlation between an organization’s health assessment score and its medical cost trend. Here’s what we found: > For every 50-point improvement in an employer’s score (on our 1,000-point scale), there is a corresponding 1% reduction in medical cost trend. > Companies that achieve a benchmark score of 750 out of 1,000 after working with us see their healthcare costs flatten—adjusted for inflation. This proof of concept shows that investing in health isn’t just about doing what’s right for employees—it’s also about creating sustainable financial outcomes for organizations.

Healthcare costs are projected to rise by 7.8% in 2025, leaving employers grappling with how to manage these escalating expenses effectively, as a MedCity News article reports. Too often, the focus remains on negotiating lower unit costs for benefits, but this approach misses the bigger picture. At HealthNEXT, we believe the key to bending the healthcare cost trend lies in a series of ten best practice pillars that provide a proven framework for creating a sustainable culture of health and wellbeing. From leadership engagement to incentives and benefits design, and vendor oversight and integration, we provide clinical guidance and a strategic roadmap for organizations to take a sustainable and proactive approach that drives down costs while improving employee health. A critical part of this strategy includes holding vendor partners accountable and regularly evaluating health plan and PBM (pharmacy benefit manager) partners to ensure they align with your organization’s goals. Let’s move beyond short-term fixes and start tackling the systemic issues driving healthcare inflation.
