Protect your employees, strengthen your company

Through life’s ups and downs, insurance helps to safeguard the health and welfare of our loved ones. Most often, people access insurance through work – which means employers play a vital role in helping workers put the right protections in place for their families.

How offering group benefits helps workers, their families — and your business

As an employer offering group benefits, you can:

    There’s strength in numbers when it comes to insurance. When accessed as a group, insurance premiums are generally lower for employees. In some cases, coverage will be significantly better than if they purchase insurance on their own.

  • Strengthen families - Icon - Families

    Strengthen families

    What would happen if an employee suddenly couldn’t work due to an illness or accident? What if a household breadwinner passed away unexpectedly? How would their families make ends meet?

Different employees want different things. Figuring out what kinds of benefits your employees value most will help you determine how your benefits package should look. For instance, they may value dental and vision coverage or want different types of voluntary benefits, such as critical illness or hospital indemnity coverage.

Some employee benefit structures might be more financially viable than others. It’s important to determine how much of the financial responsibility can and should reside with you, or with employees.

Not all insurance carriers offer the types of benefits your employees want. Further, working with multiple carriers for different benefits might present more of a challenge than it’s worth. It’s helpful to find a carrier that can seamlessly provide all the benefits you want to offer your employees.

Meeting with a financial representative can help you assess what your business can realistically afford now, then make a plan for how you’d like your benefits portfolio to change over time so you can continue to build on the success of your business and meet your employees’ evolving needs.

Good oral health can lead to better health overall. That’s why dental insurance is in high demand: it’s the best way to help employees get the preventive oral care they need, and save on more costly dental services if needed.
