About the Event

This 20-minute session examines the growing disconnect between employer capabilities and employee expectations in health benefits. Using new research from Justworks and The Harris Poll, the webinar reveals that 55% of small business leaders find choosing health plans overwhelming, while employers and employees surprisingly align (89% vs. 86%) on wanting more choice. The session offers three practical shifts for 2027: treating plan choice as a retention lever, investing in clear enrollment communication, and building flexible benefits designed to adapt. Originally presented at HR Dive Live 2026.
