Comprehensive benefits plans key to building a strong workforce

Published Updated 2 Min Read

It’s no surprise that having a well-rounded compensation plan in place is key for employers looking to amp up their workforce. As such, offering medical insurance benefits and paid time-off is often simply not enough. The Benefits USA 2011/2012 survey results found employers are offering a myriad of benefits to keep their employees happy. Dental insurance, for example, is offered by 98.2% of employers, while vision insurance is offered by 84.5%. Information was collected from nearly 4,500 benefit plans covering over six million employees across the country.

Ninety-nine percent of survey respondents offer a retirement plan to employees. Short and long-term disability is offered by 87.5% and 94.3% of companies, respectively. Nearly 50% offer accident insurance.
