The Hidden Drivers Behind Rising Employer Costs
Employers are facing sustained cost pressures heading into 2025–2026, with many organisations experiencing higher-than-anticipated benefit spend and limited opportunities to adjust budgets mid-year. Yet some of the most significant drivers of cost volatility remain under-examined.
This discussion will explore the hidden factors contributing to rising employer costs, including the often-overlooked impact of substance use on workforce health, productivity, and benefits spend. Together, we will examine how leading employers are uncovering these cost drivers, gaining greater visibility into previously unpredictable expenses, and identifying practical levers that can deliver measurable savings without increasing overall benefit budgets.

Chief Revenue Officer | Sekoia.io
Following my brief for a roundtable targeting ‘CRM for the luxury sector’, Nic’s team was quick to secure a full house of participants matching our ideal Buyer Persona. I was impressed by the speed of cold outreach and their communication cadence with participants. The event host, Andrew, had clearly built rapport with participants in advance, and as a result, facilitated the technology discussion and individual contributions with ease. All participants who attended agreed to a follow-up meeting after the event, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to meet individuals separately. If you’re new to running this type of event, I recommend speaking to the experienced, personable team at Convergex.
