Case Study 1: Empowering a Mobile Construction Workforce

Case Study 1: Empowering a Mobile Construction Workforce
Industry: Heavy Construction
Workforce: 3,000+ Field Employees
A national construction firm operating across multiple states was facing an unsustainable rise in health costs—exceeding $20,000 per employee per year. With 70% of its workforce composed of multilingual, hourly laborers working on rotating job sites, access to care was inconsistent, chronic conditions were unmanaged, and catastrophic claims were escalating.
BENAT Advisory Services conducted a complete overhaul of the company’s health and benefit infrastructure, starting with a geo-based access assessment to map care gaps and utilization patterns. We launched on-site health clinics at key projects, implemented pharmacy delivery to remote sites, and deployed annual wellness screenings. Within five years, dozens of life-threatening conditions were identified and treated early, saving lives and millions in costs.
We also transformed communication: with daily job-site huddles, bilingual messaging, and leadership reinforcement, employees began to view health as a shared value, not a personal inconvenience. The cultural shift was profound—from disconnected labor to a workforce that felt respected, supported, and vital to the company’s success.
Results:
- 88.5% Reduction in Large Claimants
- Health Plan Cost Reduced From $20,000 to $7,800 PEPM
- 184% Productivity Increase
- 45% Reduction in Lost Time
- Millions Saved Through Improved Leave and Disability Management
By integrating health, communication, and operations, the company turned its benefit plan into a strategic productivity engine, not an expense line.
