Show Notes

In an industry where margins are razor-thin and the average data breach costs over $10 million, staffing leaders are moving beyond “good enough” solutions to transform benefits and data security from mandatory requirements into a powerful strategic advantage. Today on The Staffing Show, David Folwell is joined by Carl Stecker, Founder and President of Benefits in a Card, and Scott Poeschl, Senior Vice President of Avionté+, to examine how staffing firms can rethink employee benefits as a strategic lever rather than a fixed expense. They discuss the risks of manual data transfers and why real-time API integration is crucial for protecting sensitive employee information. They explain how good data hygiene supports the use of AI tools while improving security and compliance. The conversation also covers why participation rates matter for staffing owners, the difference between bundled and unbundled benefit plans, and how firms that leverage benefits strategically differ from those that do not. Finally, they share practical steps firms can take to optimize benefits, reduce risk, and improve overall outcomes.
