Benefits Weekly is a project by Eric Johnson and Kyle Estep, two longtime insurance professionals who enjoy making the complicated world of health insurance and employee benefits easier to understand.
Each week, we share one timely topic with HR and benefits leaders — not in dense legal jargon, but in plain language that’s clear, useful, and (hopefully) a little more enjoyable to read.
Our goal isn’t to cover everything or provide one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, we want to spark curiosity, highlight important trends, and help you feel more confident navigating an industry that’s always changing.
