EMAIL MARKETING TIPS

Half?of spending on medicines?goes?to?entities like?PBMs, insurers, and hospitals?who play no role in making those medicines. I’m talking billions… paid for by actual patients. No, this isn’t a glitch in the matrix. It’s just a Tuesday. Take 340B, a program meant to help low-income patients. Hospitals buy meds at a discount, then?can?mark them up as much as 500%. This has reaped a 12,000% explosion in contract pharmacies and $64.4B in profits – for them, not patients. Policymakers have a choice: fix it or let it ride. And I have a compelling read for you: https://lnkd.in/g5HtrJjx Special thanks to PhRMA for sponsoring this piece!

Home from my FOURTH Transform and somehow energized and utterly exhausted at the same time. There's much to be said about the content, experience, etc but I want to take a moment and talk about one of the most important parts of any conference I attend - THE PEOPLE. Like: Jennifer Laurie (they/she) & Ryan-Mae M. thank u for being the greatest friends and hype people a person could ask for. And also for teaching me all that you do!!! Rocki Howard sharing the stage with you was AN HONOR. I feel blessed to know you, talk to you, and watch you do such impactful work every dang day. Jeet Mukerji you killed it on stage and what you're building will revolutionize HR. Stefanie Fackrell (she/her) from the DMs to the pics, we made it. Almost shedding a tear with you on the expo floor might have been a highlight. We're bonded for life, sorry not sorry. Sarika Lamont, Halai Shukran and Jomana Elwenni - my ride or die crew!! Thankful for our endless support of one another. Finding friends who truly understand you and your lived experience is a big blessing. Adam Weber - we didn't get enough time, but I'm changing that this year!! Your never-ending support means the world to me. I heard your session was PHENOMENAL and I'm not surprised. There are so many ppl NOT PICTURED here who also made my Transform experience - I'm sure you'll be hearing more about them!!

??These are my confessions?? There's no HR for HR. It's lonely. You see some real WTF stuff at work, and there's nobody you can confide in. Hebba Youssef and I wanted to change that. Have a horror story to get off your chest? Some workplace tea you just have to spill? Stop by the HiBob booth at Transform (#525) to record your ??100% anonymous?? HR confession. Hebba and I will be sharing what we hear back in an upcoming issue of "I Hate It Here." Sign up for the newsletter here to follow along: https://hateithere.co/

This is a brilliant and insightful post by Adam Ryan on the future of #media, and especially #newsletters. Definitely worth a read. https://lnkd.in/e6MPgngz #MediaTrends #FutureOfNews

happy friday

Any guesses which type mine was when I started at Workweek?

Cash flow data is having a moment. Lenders talk about it. Analysts debate it. Fintechs swear by it. But actually operationalizing it? That’s another story. How do you integrate cash flow data into existing credit models? Where does it add the most value? And what are lenders getting wrong? I’ll be digging into all of this with Nikki Cross, Senior Director of Data Science Solutions at Nova Credit, Tim Bates, Founder of Efficient Frontier Risk Strategies, and Jason Capehart, Head of Data Science at Mission Lane on March 26. If you’re thinking about cash flow data (or just pretending you are), you might want to join us. ?? March 26 | 3 PM ET | Zoom Register here: https://lnkd.in/gUXg782Y

if you were stuck on a deserted island with your co-workers, who would you eat first? HR: no we meant if you had any questions about the PIP we gave you
