Have you ever spent a fortune on training talented staff, only to have them jump ship for a tiny bump in salary? It’s beyond frustrating! High employee turnover is a chronic problem in the staffing industry, affecting big and small firms alike. We need a solution to attract and keep the best workers.
While there’s no magic bullet, Population Health Incentive Programs could be the answer you’re looking for. These programs can help you engage your employees, give them better access to quality healthcare and improve their health outcomes, all while reducing claims on your company’s health plan. The best part? We’re seeing a boost in employee satisfaction, talent retention and financial impact for both you and your staff!
So, what are Population Health Incentive plans? They’re a way to incentivize your employees to take an active role in their health. By providing unlimited zero co-pay 24/7/365 access to a dedicated primary care team, you can separate healthcare from health insurance and empower your staff to be proactive about their well-being. You’ll be shifting claims to the dedicated care team, which improves performance on your underlying health.
Plus, with premiums paid through a Qualified Section 125 on a pre-tax basis, you can reduce taxable income and payroll tax match for your company. And when your employees engage with the program each month, the underlying indemnity policy pays a post-tax claim that increases their take-home pay by 2-4%!
