Accolade to Present Employer Healthcare Cost Savings and Employee Experience Strategies at Upcoming Health and Benefits Events

SEATTLE, Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Employee health benefits are an essential part of a comprehensive total rewards package aimed at increasing employee retention and satisfaction. However, as healthcare costs paid by employers are expected to rise 5% for the fifth consecutive year in 2019¹ according to the National Business Group on Health, controlling healthcare costs remains one of the most important goals for employers across the country.
