Program Description: In this presentation we will:-
Discuss Worksite/Voluntary Benefits: definitions, identifying the need for this type of insurance and examples of the many coverage options available.
-
Review the data from the 2015 Aflac WorkForces Report to see what the issues are, employee perceptions of having benefit options and identify the trends impacting employee benefits.
-
We will review the tax savings benefits for employers who offer benefits: policies can be 100% employee-paid, yet employers can still benefit financially just by offering them.
-
How certain policies can help reduce Work Comp Claims and increase productivity.
-
How worksite/voluntary policies can ease the burden of employee’s HDHP out of pocket expenses as well as expenses not covered by major medical.
-
We will look at value added services available to employers to assist HR personnel.
76% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and that 60% have less than $1000 in the bank. How do we help these employees? The answer is Worksite/Voluntary products.
