Benefits Optimization
How supplemental health benefits and omnichannel communications support workforce well-being.
Eleventh Annual Guardian Workplace Benefits Study
The need for benefits that help employees protect both their financial and physical wellness is more important than ever. Yet employers face even more pressure to control expenses while offering competitive, comprehensive benefits packages.
That’s why three in four employers feel it’s a win-win to offer supplemental health benefits such as accident insurance and critical illness insurance: they help employers stand out from competitors to attract top talent, they help protect workers’ finances by paying for out-of-pocket expenses, and they help keep your employees healthy. But without coordinated resources and communication during enrollment, employees might not understand the value these benefits offer.
Read Guardian’s report, “Benefits Optimization,” to learn what to prioritize in your supplemental health benefits program and how to communicate to employees during enrollment to set yourself up for success.
Employers are increasingly turning to supplemental health benefits to help boost employees’ financial wellness.
