What Are Employee Benefits?

Group benefits provide optional coverage to a pool of employees. Employee benefits may include numerous forms of insurance, paid time off and various perks, depending on your company’s budget and the needs of your employees. Benefits are provided in addition to your workers’ base salaries and wages.

Your company may cover the entire cost of premiums or pass on a portion of those costs to your employees.

  • Employee stock options
  • Financial wellness programs

What Are the Advantages of Group Plans?

Offering benefits has many advantages for businesses and employees. Many potential new hires consider the company’s benefits package a significant factor when deciding whether to accept an employment offer.

With group insurance, an individual employee doesn’t have to undergo medical underwriting to get coverage. Insurers can spread risk across the group of policyholders, which may result in less expensive coverage. Group plans can provide cost savings to employees and may help them access insurance coverage that may be unavailable or unaffordable.
