An Employee Benefits Plan is a sound investment, not only in your employees, but also in your business. With Steers Insurance, you can create a fully customizable Employee Benefits Plan that aligns with your team’s needs. 

The Importance of Employee Benefits Plans 

It’s no secret that in today’s world we’ve learned the value of taking care of our employees. Research shows time and time again that happier employees are more productive. 

When employees know they’re covered if they fall ill, can avail of medical services and medication, you’re giving them invaluable peace of mind. 

Discover what Benefits Your Employees Desire the Most 

By tailoring your benefits program to suit your employees needs and desires, you are ensuring the investment in your team is going the extra mile (and less resources are wasted in the process). 

To know exactly what your employees are seeking in their benefits plan, you can send out an anonymous survey asking them questions about their coverage. Or, schedule a time to meet with team members to discuss their needs and expectations. 

Consider a Health Spending Account (HSA) or Wellness Spending Account (WSA)

HSA’s and WSA’s give flexibility to employees that are not availing of traditional benefits plans for prescription drugs, but still want value out of their plan. These accounts can be implemented to work in tandem with an existing Employee Benefits Plan, or, in place of, offering a specified amount for employees to spend on health-related expenses. 

Wellness Spending Accounts are geared towards an individual employees physical and mental wellbeing. Examples of expenses covered would be gym memberships, sports equipment, and nutrition services. 

Health Spending Accounts are focused on more traditional medical expenses, and cover costs such as prescription drugs, dental, glasses, and massage therapy. 

Both options ensure your employees have the flexibility to prioritize their health and wellbeing by making positive changes and availing of services and offerings that would otherwise be too expensive.
