"If there is no documentation, there is no program." That line from Kelly Trail, HUB International's Director of Global Travel Risk, closed out our recent webinar on global benefits and duty of care. It's stuck with me since. Geopolitical instability, drug-supply disruptions and currency shifts are raising the bar for how multinational employers protect their people abroad. The organizations staying ahead are treating documentation not as paperwork, but as the backbone of a defensible duty-of-care program. Want to watch the replay in its entirety?

Four years of healthcare cost inflation. One clear pattern. At HUB International's recent Global Benefits webinar, Denis Guay opened with three numbers that reframe how multinational employers think about cost: healthcare costs are up 62% globally since 2017. Pharmacy now makes up 24% of total spend. And 67% of multinational organizations say their costs are influenced by U.S. cost trends. The organizations getting ahead aren't waiting for renewal season to react. They're building multi-year cost strategies now, informed by regional data and clinical forecasting through 2030. Curious how your global benefits program stacks up against these trends? Check out the webinar replay in the comments.
