"Cost savings can and should happen in many ways in an impactful HR department. From recruitment costs to labor costs, I always keep an open eye to being wise with company spending. Two years ago, I led the charge to have my current organization join a benefits consortium and leave our own private health, dental and vision insurers. The new consortium was a win-win for both my organization and all employees as the company was paying lower costs per employee, and the staff had lower out-of-pocket premiums, lower yearly deductibles, and a larger provider network to choose from."
