From Seattle to Indianapolis to Palm Beach, Rural/Metro responds to health and safety emergencies daily. But it recently faced its own healthcare challenge: large annual increases to maintain a benefit-rich health plan for 5,500 full-time employees.
SAVING LIVES DAILY
Brian Allery, Senior VP and Chief Administrative Officer, says, "As a responsible employer, we review our benefits package yearly. We were facing another annual increase."
Rural/Metro wanted to take a holistic view of their health care package. But Brian found, "Most brokers have a traditional mindset. They thought we were unrealistic."
In Lockton, they found a partner who put their ideas into action. Kurt Narron, Risk Management Director, says, "Lockton is on the cutting edge of industry trends. They helped us develop a unique model with enhanced benefits and reduced out-of-pocket costs."
By shifting to a consumer-driven health plan, Kurt explains, "Basically, we are providing the resources that we believe will promote employee wellness and responsibility for healthcare choices."
A THINK TANK
As a company, Rural/Metro is also on a healthy growth track. Brian says, "Lockton contributes to our continued succeess. We don’t have all the answers. We use Lockton expertise to our advantage. They’re a think tank."
