In this video, Chrissy Myers urges organizational leaders to step back and ask a strategic question: how can the company best support its people given its size, resources, and goals? She explains that rethinking employee benefits does not mean abandoning the team, but rather redesigning offerings to align with business realities. Myers highlights concrete approaches such as overhauling health insurance plans, shifting to a stipend‑based model, and finding creative ways to deliver value to employees. The overall message is to treat benefits as a strategic lever that can be reshaped to provide meaningful support while staying financially sustainable.

Deconstructing your benefits doesn't mean that you're abandoning your team. It means stepping back and asking a strategic question, which is really, what is the best way for the organization to support our people in size and resources and goals? And sometimes that means redesigning your health insurance plan. So sometimes it means shifting to a different model. It may mean moving your insurance to a stipend model. And sometimes it also means getting creative in how you can provide value to your team members.
