"A critical challenge in designing pharmacy benefits is to find the optimal balance between access to essential medications and cost management.

However, as pharmacy expenditures have risen, cost management has received increased attention."

Companies Turn to Incentives to Hold Their Top Employees
"These days, it's typically not pay increases or 401(k) matches that employers are stressing. More fanciful perks such as personal shoppers and concierge services also are mostly gone -- victims of the Great Recession. Instead, employers are offering low-cost perks such as help outlining career development plans, flexible scheduling and on-site health care."
