“We understand that healthcare can be a complex challenge, and that’s why we tirelessly shop around to secure group policies with low deductibles and ensure apples-to-apples policy comparisons. Our commitment to our employees is unwavering, as we offer a generous 60% company paid contribution toward policies to ease the burden of out-of-pocket expenses. We recognize the delicate balance between providing premium healthcare coverage for our staff and managing costs effectively for both the company and employees. While there may be no silver bullet, our dedication to comprehensive healthcare solutions ensures peace of mind for all stakeholders.”

“Our team’s overall health is a priority for our practice. We’ve adopted an optional hybrid work model and advocate for a maximum 40-hour work week to prevent burnout, both emotionally and physically. Annually, we compare policies to identify the best health coverage and reward our employees by increasing our contribution to their premium based on years with the practice. Additionally, we provide supplemental insurances to further support and safeguard our team’s health and wellness.”

Our HR team is keenly aware of the needs of our employees. We work to control expenses, but it is our responsibility as an employer to provide good insurance options to take care of our people. To find this balance, we work closely with our broker to ensure we find the best plans at the best prices. The health of our employees is the priority.”

“Whether you are an employer or an employee, selecting a healthcare plan can feel overwhelming and complicated, and typically the cost of insurance tends to be the biggest concern for employees. As an employer, it’s been our priority to find affordable insurance plans, while still choosing a quality provider network. The quality of the network is very important.

Promoting and encouraging wellness and a healthy lifestyle can certainly help with mitigating healthcare costs, but I think it’s important to select a great agent who understands your goals and needs as an employer. The right agency can play a big part in ensuring that you are making the right decisions on healthcare costs for your company and your employees.”

“As a business coach serving businesses across varying industries, I have seen an increase in employers offering health benefits to stand out in the marketplace. I recommend companies offer healthcare benefits for these reasons: Consider your long-term strategy. Even if you are budget conscious, offering health care benefits will position you to attract top talent and retain your valued employees. You will likely also see morale increase, because your employees will feel you care about their health and that you value them. It might even encourage your employees to practice preventative wellness to address health issues sooner. This can vastly improve your internal culture, creating an environment of care and empathy. If you want to build out a top-tier team and retain valued staff, offering health benefits could be your key differentiator.”
