AFFORDABLE AND STRATEGIC
Voluntary benefits (those offered at a discounted rate paid either fully or partially by the employee) are one of the best, most cost-effective ways to attract and retain key talent. A robust voluntary benefits plan can lead to higher employee engagement, an edge over competitors, and increased job satisfaction – and often at no cost to the employer.
MODERN BENEFITS WITH MORE VALUE
Along with wellness programs, pet insurance, and legal and financial services, these important voluntary offerings have become common in employee benefits packages – and they are often incentivized by the carriers themselves:
