Could a one-size-fits-all benefits package be costing your small business talented employees?
A recent study found that 86% of employees consider flexibility in choosing their health insurance provider important when evaluating a job offer.
Nearly nine out of ten would also consider working for a small business that provides a monthly reimbursement toward coverage they choose themselves.
The message is clear: Employees want benefits that reflect their individual healthcare needs, family situations and financial priorities.
Small employers can respond by:
✅ Surveying employees about their needs
✅ Offering different plan options when feasible
✅ Adding voluntary benefits employees can choose
✅ Exploring an ICHRA or another reimbursement arrangement
✅ Improving benefits education during and after enrollment
✅ Reviewing participation and employee feedback annually
Small businesses may not be able to outspend larger competitors, but they can compete by making their benefits more relevant, flexible and easier to understand.
Is your current benefits package helping you retain employees or encouraging them to look elsewhere?
