EINPresswire/ -- With U.S. employers bracing for healthcare benefit costs projected to rise by 9.5% to 20% in 2026—the steepest increase in more than 15 years—businesses are under pressure to preserve margins while supporting their employees. WolfpackHR, a nationwide fractional HR consulting firm, is launching expanded cost-saving programs that reduce overhead and, in many cases, provide enhanced employee medical and wellness benefits at no additional cost to employers or employees.

“At a time when inflation, tariffs, and healthcare costs are converging, companies need more than traditional HR support—they need solutions that protect their bottom line,” said Ammie Michaels, Chief Strategy Officer and Founder at WolfpackHR. “Our audits and optimization programs often uncover hidden cost leaks while enabling businesses to expand benefits without adding financial burden. That’s a very real impact for both employers and employees.”

WolfpackHR’s services include:

- Free HR Audits to identify inefficiencies in compliance, payroll, and benefits structures.
- Fractional HR Leadership, offering senior-level expertise without full-time executive costs.
Benefit Optimization Programs that enhance employee healthcare and wellness offerings at no extra cost.
- Flat-Rate Pricing for predictable budgeting and transparency.

The firm’s nationwide team specializes in compliance, CMS regulations, and crisis preparedness—helping companies remain resilient in volatile conditions.

“We’re not just consultants—we’re partners in profitability,” Michaels added. “Our mission is simple: stop unnecessary financial leakage and give companies the tools to thrive, even in the daunting face of rising costs.”
