💡 Employer Health Costs Are Exploding — and It’s Only Getting Worse The latest KFF Employer Health Benefits Survey (Oct 2025) sounds the alarm: 📈 The cost of providing family health coverage is now rising faster than both inflation and wages.   Employers are feeling the squeeze. Non-diabetic GLP-1 drugs, genetic therapies, and chronic health conditions across a multigenerational workforce are driving medical and pharmacy spend to new highs.   One Optimatum client saw an eightfold increase in non-diabetic GLP-1 drug costs this year alone. Another added a rare-disease therapy exceeding $30,000 per monthly prescription. These aren’t just benefit budget issues—they impact wage growth, retention, and competitiveness.   But cost control doesn’t have to mean cost shifting. At Optimatum, we’ve helped clients uncover cost mitigation opportunities by focusing on the low-hanging fruit—examining vendor relationships to find hidden inefficiencies and renegotiating service deliverables with: ✅ Stronger SLAs ✅ Performance guarantees ✅ Alignment with corporate goals   Proactive plan and program vendor management can deliver meaningful cost mitigation without shifting costs onto employees. Optimatum Solutions LLC’s white paper titled: A Path Not Taken: Vendor Management in Employer Sponsored Healthcare, highlights hidden opportunities to mitigate the ever-rising healthcare cost trend.   As employers brace for near double-digit rate increases in 2026, now’s the time to ask: 👉 Are your vendors delivering the value you’re paying for?   #EmployeeBenefits #HealthCareCosts #HRStrategy #EmployerSponsoredPlans #Optimatum Read more: https://lnkd.in/gVeCum89

America’s workforce is aging. Today, adults aged 65 to 74 represent about 26% of working adults, and employees over 75 are the fastest-growing demographic in the U.S. labor market. The number of Americans working past age 75 has quadrupled since the mid-1960s and is expected to double again by 2030. While many older adults continue working out of financial necessity, others choose to remain employed for a sense of purpose, engagement, and community. Most are working part time, yet their presence in the workforce introduces important considerations for employer-sponsored healthcare plans, particularly for organizations with more than 20 employees. As the workforce continues to age, employers that adapt their health benefit strategies will not only reduce confusion and costs but also build stronger engagement and loyalty among employees who bring decades of experience and institutional knowledge to their roles.

🌍 World Mental Health Day is this Friday, October 10, 2025 This year’s global theme highlights the psychological impact of emergencies and catastrophes, a powerful reminder that mental health is not just an individual concern, but a collective responsibility. 📊 Key statistics from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): • 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences a mental illness each year. • 1 in 20 U.S. adults experiences serious mental illness annually. • 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24. Additionally, two-thirds of workers with mental health conditions visited the ER in the past six months—50% higher than for people without a mental health condition. Behind every statistic is an employee, a family member, or a colleague whose well-being directly shapes the health of our workplaces. Employers have a unique opportunity—and responsibility—to lead with compassion by: 💡 Equip leaders to recognize early signs of stress, depression, and burnout. 💡 Communicate the availability of care resources through health plans and community partnerships. 💡 Encourage rest and recovery, including paid mental health days. Optimatum Solutions LLC can help you strengthen your organization by reviewing your data and identify areas of opportunity to optimize well-being. By making mental health a business priority, organizations don’t just support their people—they build stronger teams, deeper trust, and a culture of care. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthAwareness #Leadership #EmployeeWellbeing #FutureOfWork #HRLeadership #CultureOfCare #Optimatum
