Sticker Shock is Coming

Fenton, MI: Witt & Howard, PLLC, consistently explores new ways to support its clients, communities, and employees for a sustainable and successful path forward. With insurance premium costs slated to increase in the fall, the firm has been actively encouraging its corporate clients to get ahead of the upcoming premium increases by reviewing current insurance coverage before the fall renewal season.

“Sticker shock is coming,” says Nicholas Goldsworthy, a partner of Witt & Howard. “We are actively encouraging our corporate clients to carefully inspect their current insurance products, especially in the healthcare arena, due to projected increase rates resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Knowing the challenges today’s environment brings – with growing healthcare costs, a war for talent, and other new and nuanced workforce considerations – finding the right team of experts to navigate forward can be paramount. “The only way to deal with and work around the premium increases is to spend time and effort planning,” says Michael Witt, the firm’s managing partner. “Failure to plan is going to be very expensive.”

In an effort to assist corporate clients in the planning process, Witt & Howard is pleased to introduce Gallagher, one of the leading insurance brokerages, risk management, and HR & benefits consulting firms. Witt & Howard has had the pleasure of getting to know the Gallagher professionals at their local Michigan branch. They believe that Gallagher is a great resource when it comes to finding solutions to attract, retain, and engage top talent at the right cost structures, and with an ability to support every business size and any industry.
