Jeremy Vesta – Addressing the Hidden Costs of Insurance (Replay)

Show Topic:
Recent studies show that 31% of US healthcare costs can be directly attributed to “behaviorally influenced chronic conditions,” while 69% of costs are influenced by consumer behaviors.

  These statistics hold true for your workforce. The employees who walk through your door each day are managing more than just the workload; they have families, lives outside of work, and health conditions.

  Is there a way, however, that employers can commit to helping their employees understand their health conditions, embrace different treatment options and change their behaviors to positively influence chronic health conditions? The answer is yes; but it takes work.

  The good news, however, is that hard work has significant returns on not just your employees’ health, but also their commitment to your organization. In this episode of HR Power Hour, join Tawny Alvarez of Verrill as she speaks to Curally’s Chief Financial Officer, Jeremy Vesta, concerning addressing the hidden costs of insurance.

  In this episode Tawny and Jeremy will discuss the current issues employers are faced with concerning employees with chronic health conditions, the work that Curally has undertaken to provide employers with a path to respond to these challenges, and the positive long-term effects this strategy has on both employees and employers.

About The Guest:

Jeremy Vesta is Chief Financial Officer of Curally where he uses his expertise as an economist and his extensive business leadership background to empower companies to optimize their investment in their most valuable resource—their employees—through innovative strategies.

  Additionally, Jeremy is the Managing Director of Vesta Holdings, a company with diverse interests in the fresh beef industry. Among its ventures, Vesta Holdings is involved in beef manufacturing through Harmony Beef, a company established and run by Jeremy and his family.

  Before joining Vesta, he gained experience as a commodities trader at Bunge. One of Jeremy’s core beliefs is that to address the challenge of rising insurance costs, businesses must adopt new approaches that go beyond the surface-level factors like plan design, benefit providers, and coverage provided. Instead, the focus should be on identifying and resolving the underlying factors driving these costs. By doing so, business owners, benefit administrators, and HR leaders can effectively mitigate the impact of escalating insurance expenses.

Show Topic:
Because 90% of hiring managers aren’t trained on how to interview, they fall prey to their implicit bias when judging candidates and making hiring decisions. Job seekers, equally as mystified by the process, follow stale advice, memorizing rote answers that aren’t true to who they are. In this episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with CEO and Author, Anna Papalia, her book: Interviewology; The New Science of Interviewing. Her book along with an interview style assessment Papalia developed, will help you determine which of four different interview styles you are and how you can dramatically improve no matter which side of the interview table you are on.

About The Guest:

Anna Papalia is the author of Interviewology: The New Science of Interviewing and a career influencer with over 1.5 million followers across social media platforms. She has consulted with Fortune 100 companies, taught at Temple University’s Fox School of Business and coached over 10,000 clients to interview better. Her groundbreaking discovery of Interview Styles revolutionized the way we teach and understand interviewing. She is also a public speaker at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and DisruptHR. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  

Carla Fowler – Top 5 Fallacies of Goal Obtainment

Download the Show Audio Here

Show Topic:
When we view high-achieving individuals, many of us often think (or say) “what is their secret?” What is that person doing differently from so many other people in business or society who are striving to achieve goals?

While the answer is likely going to be different for everyone, there will certainly be some underlying themes. While we can focus on those themes, another important element is understanding what some of the common misconceptions are about goal obtainment and ways in which we as individuals or as coaches to team members can mindfully maneuver around snares.

In this episode of HR Power Hour, join host Tawny Alvarez as she and Carla Fowler, Founder of THAXA, a boutique executive coaching firm that leverages the best ideas from performance science to help leaders around the globe, discuss the top five fallacies of goal obtainment.

Tawny and Carla will discuss that while having a dream (or a goal) is important—more is necessary to achieve it. They will also discuss some of the tips Carla provides to executives to assist them in achieving those goals while maneuvering around common fallacies.

About The Guest:
