Optimizing health and benefits programs across private equity portfolios

As healthcare costs continue to surge , private equity (PE) firms managing diverse portfolios have the opportunity to mitigate the impact by adopting portfolio-wide health and benefits strategies that enable them to harness the scale of their portfolio to rein in escalating expenses and enhance employee retention and recruitment across their investments. In this episode of Risk in Context , Marsh's Alex Ackermann, Katherine Gensheimer, and Tom Shea discuss why PE firms should consider portfolio-wide health and benefits programs. They also talk about the importance of portfolio-wide programs going beyond one-size-fits-all solutions and instead focus on tailoring coverage, claims management, and resiliency efforts to the unique needs of each portfolio company.
