Optimatum Launches New White Paper Revealing Hidden Opportunities in Vendor Management for Employer Sponsored Healthcare
"A Path Not Taken: Delivering HR Operational Efficiency Through Vendor Accountability" explores overlooked opportunities to combat rising costs, enhance recruitment efforts, and improve workforce well-being.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimatum, a leader in vendor management for the HR supply chain, today released its new white paper, A Path Not Taken: Vendor Management in Employer Sponsored Healthcare, which examines the untapped potential of strategic vendor management in addressing some of today's most pressing HR and healthcare challenges.
Drawing insights from over 30 surveys and nearly 10,000 organizations, this comprehensive report identifies opportunities for employers to improve outcomes through better vendor accountability. The paper also provides actionable strategies for cost containment and operational streamlining across the HR supply chain.
"Employers are facing rising costs and increasing complexity in managing healthcare and benefits programs," said David Neikrug, CEO of Optimatum. "Our analysis underscores the critical need to optimize vendor relationships as a key driver of HR operational efficiency and employee satisfaction."
Key Highlights:
Employers rank healthcare costs, recruitment, and workforce health as their top concerns. Rising medical costs, a tight labor market, and complex employee health needs are putting pressure on businesses to find innovative solutions. The paper reveals that while organizations deploy various strategies, vendor management remains an overlooked avenue for cost savings and operational improvement.
The white paper explores initiatives employers have adopted, including digital health tools, mental health programs, and targeted cost-control measures. These efforts, while impactful, are often siloed and lack coordination. The paper highlights how vendor integration and harmonization could amplify these strategies' effectiveness.
Optimatum introduces a compelling argument for vendor accountability as a strategic business process outsourcing (BPO) model. Organizations can achieve cost savings, better compliance, and enhanced employee outcomes through vendor harmonization, performance scorecards, and data-driven evaluations.
Why It Matters
The paper's analysis concludes that focusing on vendor accountability enables organizations to align their HR supply chain with business goals, improving efficiency and employee satisfaction while addressing rising healthcare costs.
