Maine Medical Center Case Study QuoteThe Challenge

Medical Center (MMC) was performing well. However, MMC recognized that to thrive in a post-reform environment, they needed to optimize their performance in the areas of staffing, benefits, compensation, and absence management. MMC partnered with Huron for a comprehensive performance improvement project, which included a significant human resources cost reduction component.

Our Approach

Working side by side with MMC managers and staff, Huron helped MMC achieve substantial HR cost reductions while maintaining the organization’s high levels of quality and service – as well as its ability to recruit and retain top talent.

Reducing benefit costs: Helped MMC control and reduce plan costs for employees and dependents by redesigning benefits programs, contribution strategies, and the Family and Medical Leave process.
