Voluntary benefits

Employees have become more anxious about their financial stability since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

There’s a great opportunity for HR professionals to better communicate with employees, at scale, regularly and easily during this year's open enrollment.

Companies are planning beyond COVID, increasing dollar limits and offering more inclusive benefits to their employee populations.

With COVID-19 creating a new normal, employees may need benefits that can help them find care for their aging loved ones so they can focus on their work.

Soltan Bryce, head of growth at Plume, discusses the specific needs of transgender employees and how employers can utilize benefits to create a more inclusive and supportive work environment.

Helping employees prepare for important life events like getting a pet is a core purpose of benefits packages. However, traditional benefit plans aren’t always designed with pet parents in mind.

After a successful virtual summer camp, one company is offering parents creative solutions to childcare challenges as school starts again.

“Many companies seek to create trans inclusive benefits packages, but their employees oftentimes don’t use the benefits provided because of fear of harassment in the process of accessing healthcare,” says Soltan Bryce, head of growth at Plume.

These advisers and strategic consultants have diverse backgrounds and a drive for excellence that goes beyond the traditional broker responsibilities.

Companies are starting to realize that they can’t leave working parents twisting in the wind, trying to figure this out individually with their supervisors — the problem is too big.

“It's still one of the most underserved communities when it comes to safe, accessible and reliable healthcare,” says Soltan Bryce, the head of growth at Plume.

More than half of Americans' financial health has been negatively impacted by the effects of the pandemic.

In addition to concerns over their employment status, many employees say they feel they have been taken advantage of by management and have worked harder than before the pandemic started.

The program gives organizations a greater opportunity to be instrumental in their employees’ financial well-being.

In the age of skyrocketing monthly premiums and a multitude of confusing options, more Americans are flocking to direct primary care to supplement their existing coverage.

Employees place different degrees of importance on certain benefits, as such a Staples survey was able to identify four categories of perks.

The overall impact of the crisis adds uncertainty about projected costs.

The Big Four firm says they wanted to recognize the challenges parents and caregivers are facing during the pandemic.

Companies are already losing critical talent, and employers can not sit idle waiting for a resolution, or worse, leave it up to the parents to figure out. It’s on every employer to come to the table with creative solutions.

As the human and pet bond strengthens, employees are looking for benefits that help them care for their furry companions.
