“For more than two decades, Hewitt Associates’ health care survey has tracked employer health care practices, benefit programs, and efforts to provide and manage workforce health benefits. This report, Challenges for Health Care in Uncertain Times, highlights employer-sponsored health care programs and other benefits including short- and long-term cost trends, strategy, and design features. In addition, it covers employers’ practices, views, and perspectives regarding managing health care costs, improving workforce health and productivity, and cost prevention — allowing us to identify trends, critical business issues, and opportunities as they develop.”
