Welcome to Broken Benefits with Lee Lewis! Whether you are the benefits manager or CEO of your organization, one of the biggest drivers of organizational performance, that most get totally wrong, is the health and benefits strategy. We spend billions on benefits, yet healthcare is unaffordable and complicated. More than half of Americans don’t even take their paid vacation, yet people are burning out faster than ever and remote work is scrambling company cultures.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Great benefits can attract and retain top talent, communicate your values, rejuvenate your productivity, move your stock price, and even save lives.
I know this because I’ve advised and learned from many Fortune 100 employers on how to create wildly profitable and popular benefits programs. I created this podcast in the hopes that together we can save lives, save dollars, and save our talent. Join us for some great conversation with some of the world’s leading experts in this space.
