For our latest episode, we're joined by Stephanie Koch, director of human resources at Hendry Marine. In recent years, she has become a vocal advocate for bringing innovative and non-traditional ideas, including self-funding, reference-based pricing and direct contracting, into the HR sphere.
During our chat, she talks about the current state of her profession, shares a few things she wishes benefits advisors knew about HR, reveals the biggest misconceptions about her role, and details her journey from status quo benefits to the world of self-funding.
She also gives a sneak peek of her upcoming session at the BenefitsPRO Broker Expo in Miami, where she'll shed light on why HR may not always engage in strategic conversations around health care and share how benefits advisors can more effectively partner with HR, build trust, and ultimately enhance their business relationships.

And if you're looking for roller coaster recommendations, you've come to the right place!
