3 Big Reasons to Make Your Move on Employee Health Insurance

For businesses that want to grow quickly and attract top talent, health insurance is becoming more attractive as an employee benefit. The right insurance makes it far easier for those you hire to manage one of the most important parts of their finances. The security provided by an insurance policy is a great way to give your team members peace of mind so they can stay focused on doing their best work.

There’s never been a better time to make a move on employee health insurance:

1. Healthcare Uncertainty Is A Major Concern For Your Employees
In the past year, Congress has made four major attempts to overhaul healthcare. It is simply impossible for even the best-informed person to predict what the insurance market may look like in the future. Robust, reliable health insurance can serve as a significant incentive to reduce turnover and keep your most valuable employees with you longer.

2. Health Insurance Ranks As One Of The Most Attractive Benefits
In 2015, about 60% of employees surveyed said benefits were a big factor in making their employment decisions. In 2017, Harvard Business Review went a step further to highlight the role of insurance in that equation: 88% of respondents said health insurance would be taken into consideration – with about half of those saying it was a heavy consideration.

Insurance ranked #1 among all benefits, beating out such perennial favorites as flexible hours, vacation time, and even the ability to work from home. More than a dozen other creative perks didn’t even come close. When it comes to benefits, people are looking at their insurance before any other issue – and scrutinizing compensation with their out-of-pocket healthcare costs in mind.
