Getting the right things done, with less… When we make steps toward this goal, even small ones, then I just have to say…Wow!

Until recently, employee benefits costs – healthcare, in particular – have been considered a necessary cost of doing business, external to a company’s core products or services.

Or at times the results are coming, “today!,” “tomorrow for sure!”… and then never comes at all.
