In “Healthcare overhaul could impact U.S. companies trying to attract and keep skilled workers,” Randstad Sourceright CEO, Rebecca Henderson explores how companies can support their employer brands regardless of uncertainty around U.S. healthcare legislation.
“Employers that commit to providing their employees with quality healthcare benefits, regardless of tax incentives, signal that they care enough to invest in the wellbeing of their workers.
