Health care costs have risen 8.64% year over year according to M3’s Momentum Report – and we can likely expect more of the same in 2026. At the same time, workforce expectations for competitive, meaningful benefits continue to climb. Balancing financial sustainability with employee well-being will be at the center of every HR and C-suite conversation next year.
Join M3 for a forward-looking discussion on the strategies shaping tomorrow’s benefits environment, including:
- Hard market strategies for self-funded employers – Practical approaches for employers to maintain control and deliver value in a tight market.
- Direct contracting – Moving beyond discounts to maximize measurable return.
- Pharmacy benefit management – Navigating cost pressures and transparency challenges while keeping employee access top of mind.
This session will give HR and total rewards leaders a clear, concise view of what’s ahead – so you can prepare your organization for 2026 with confidence.
