Insurance Information

If you are running a small business, you are thinking about earning the loyalty of employees who will stick with you for the long-term, and offering them a health insurance package as an incentive to stick around.

Offering a good health insurance plan is a way to attract and retain talent, keep your employees motivated, and to give them the sense that they are part of your family and that you have a vested interest in taking care of their long-term needs.

It is also almost always a good idea to offer your employees a choice from among multiple health insurance plan options. This will give your employees a sense of empowerment, that they can choose a health insurance plan that is most suitable for them. You should have at least two or three options: Most health insurance companies will offer both an open network provider and an HMO. And you should have a choice of multiple deductible options. You also need to consider the prescription drug coverage options as well. And you should consider what type of employment demographic you expect you will have on your staff. For example, if you hire a woman, you may need maternity coverage. You also need to consider whether you will be offering short-term or long-term disability insurance coverage as well.
