Why Should You Offer Voluntary Benefits?

Voluntary benefits, also known as worksite benefits, are an effective way to attract and retain the top employees with little to no effect on your bottom-line. These benefits are a great way to fill the void of coverage that traditional benefits don’t cover. What most employees and employers don’t realize is the effect that voluntary benefits offer to both parties.

Why should you offer voluntary benefits to your employees?

Voluntary benefits are an effective way to attract and retain the top employees, with little to no effect on your bottom line. These benefits (also known as worksite benefits) are a great way to fill the void of coverage that traditional benefits don’t cover. 

What most employees and employers don’t realize is the effect that voluntary benefits offer to both parties. 

It saves everyone money

Well-designed voluntary benefit programs can protect employee’s financial stability. Voluntary benefits are coverage options offered through an employer but paid for (either partially or solely) by the employees through payroll deferral. It allows employees the option to choose from a variety of plans that fit their lifestyle best. Most employers offer group plans with group rates that give employees better rates compared to their own. 

Sometimes voluntary benefits will come with a guarantee issue, which means coverage is not dependent on health status. 

For employers, the cost of implementing a voluntary benefit coverage option for your employers is minuscule compared to the benefit they receive. When your employees receive benefits that align with their needs, they will be more productive and engaged, which creates more income for you.

  • Critical Illness: Critical illness coverage adds a safety net for under-insured persons.

Why Should You Offer Voluntary Benefits?

It gives your employees a meaningful choice in their healthcare

When employees are given the choice in their benefits, they are more likely to be engaged and excited about work.

Employees are more likely to be satisfied with their employee benefits if they have a choice in creating a plan that fits their unique needs.
