Employer Strategies

Before COVID-19 kept everyone still, these key executives made some strategic moves within the benefits space.

“Inclusion programs for the low vision community are critical, though these programs are being challenged by the impact of COVID-19,” says Robert Vaters, CEO of eSight.

Internships are deeply ingrained in the recruiting process for some industries like finance and consulting, and the pandemic hasn’t changed that.

Workers who make at least 60 deliveries a week can apply for the family care stipend, according to a Postmates spokeswoman.

Employees who are still at work now have a vested interest in adding financial protections for themselves and their families — whether it comes through supplemental health coverage or additional welfare coverage.

Firms are delaying, shortening or making virtual their internship programs this summer as efforts to slow the pandemic around the world leave employees working from home.

Now, more than ever, employers need to be prioritizing benefits to fit the needs of these employees.

The National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions says the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the need for employers to fight social disparities.

We need to ensure that our workers have all the coverage they need to support themselves and their families while recovering from any major health event.

The growing costs faced by today’s health care purchasers and plan members have many returning to proven strategies like V-BID, which lowers or eliminates the out-of-pocket cost for high-value services or medications.
