Reducing turnover costs and driving ROI with added benefits.

In this episode of The Legacy Lab, hosts Ashley Simpson and Megan Davis sit down with Sue Nelson, VP of Health and Benefits at RMC Group, to tackle one of the costliest challenges facing employers today: turnover. Rather than simply chasing retention through raises or perks, they explore a more strategic lever, the power of ancillary benefits like vision, dental, life, and disability coverage.

Together they break down:

• Why turnover really isn’t “free” and how hidden costs pile up

• How small investments in vision and dental benefits can pay for themselves (and then some)

• The role of supplemental benefits in boosting employee loyalty and reducing risk

• Practical strategies for designing benefits packages that align with your workforce

• How RMC Group partners with employers to audit benefits, model ROI, negotiate with carriers, and communicate value
