When you look at large employers like school boards, unions and hospitals, for example, they have employee packages to attract people to their workforce. Living wages, sick days, vacation time…those are all things people strive to have in their careers. But one of the most coveted things an employee can have is an insurance plan.

When You Can’t Provide Benefits

It’s understandable if you are unable to provide group insurance for your employees. Most group plans are sponsored by companies that have hundreds of employees and can afford the expenses. It’s a different story for small businesses with few employees.

When you provide insurance to your employees, you’re taking financial and legal responsibility for them. If they have exorbitant bills for illnesses or injuries, you are partly on the hook for that. Sometimes this kind of service is too much of a risk for your company, especially if it is small and you are on a budget.

Another reason many small business owners don’t provide group coverage is that they don’t feel they know enough about it. Unless they have an employee who is dedicated to employee benefits, it’s hard to know what and how much to offer.

While providing benefits can be an incentive for employees to stay for the long term, you can find other ways to make their career rewarding and to get around the issue of not providing coverage.

What You CAN Do

If you aren’t equipped to provide your team with group benefits, you can still help them out by pointing them in the right direction. By encouraging your staff to get their own plans, you are showing them that while you can’t provide coverage for them, you do want to ensure that they will have protection for their health.

You can also pay for individual plans for your employees. It is usually less expensive than a group plan, but be aware that they often have more limited maximums.
