Why this resource? - Employers know they must integrate benefits delivery to avoid confusing messages and overlapping supplier initiatives for the greatest value from health-related employee benefits.

To this end, the Integrated Benefits Institute created a new how-to DVD resource that includes the necessary guidance, templates and tools for employers to use to coordinate their multiple vendors.

Chris McSwain shares the innovative program he used with two diverse employers to transform vendor relationships into true business partnerships.
