Benefits Weekly was started by Eric Johnson and Kyle Estep, two longtime insurance professionals who wanted to make the complicated world of health insurance and employee benefits easier to understand. Today, Eric writes and runs it.
Each week, Benefits Weekly takes one timely topic and explains it for 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.
The goal isn’t to cover everything or hand out one-size-fits-all advice. It’s to spark curiosity, highlight the trends that matter, and help you feel more confident navigating an industry that’s always changing.
