As chief financial officer of Hixme Insurance Solutions, Inc., Erik Wissig guides a technology-enabled firm that provides larger companies a platform for enabling employees to take ownership of their health benefits. Erik Wissig and others at Hixme provide an in-depth look at issues confronting clients through dedicated webinars, including a recent one on “The Battle of the HR Professional: A Deep Dive into the Benefits Function.”
Speaking on the webinar, Hixme CEO Denny Weinberg addressed specific challenges related to benefits, which he defined as the most costly among the full array of issues that HR professionals deal with. With HR professionals focused on attracting and retaining top level talent, they must balance financial constraints and competitive pressures.
Within the benefits sphere, battlegrounds have emerged on a number of fronts amid a landscape of rising “out-of-control” costs and third-party health coverage purchases that are uneconomical. One goal of Hixme is to change benefits dynamics and create a direct consumer space that enables new efficiencies and minimizes costs. Through Hixme’s proprietary benefit-bundling Workplace Market, benefits are redefined in ways that provide employees with individualized healthcare lines-of-credit and bolster the corporate bottom line.
