Workplace benefits, reimagined

How group insurance is changing the employee experience.

Benefits used to be a line item on an offer letter. Now they're part of why people stay — or leave. Here's what's actually shifting in group coverage, and where it still leaves gaps.

For decades, group insurance meant one plan, one network, and one set of rules for every employee — regardless of age, family size, or how they actually used healthcare. That model is quietly coming apart.

Employees now compare benefits the way they compare salaries. A flexible, well-explained plan can be the deciding factor between two job offers — and a confusing one can push good people out the door during open enrollment season.

When group coverage isn't enough

Group plans have gaps — waiting periods, part-time exclusions, dependents who age out, gaps between jobs. These paths help cover the space in between.
