The Competitive Edge of Offering Supplemental Insurance

Implementing supplemental insurance programs not only benefits employees but also offers significant financial advantages to employers. These benefits contribute to cost savings, improved productivity, and enhanced employee retention—all of which support a company's bottom line.

Cost Savings and Financial Impact

Enhanced Recruitment A comprehensive benefits package, including supplemental insurance, makes a company more attractive to prospective employees. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2023, private health insurance coverage was more prevalent than public coverage, at 65.4% and 36.3%, respectively, indicating that job seekers often prioritize employers who offer private health benefits. census.gov
Improved Retention Employees are more likely to stay with employers who offer robust benefits, reducing turnover and associated costs. The availability of medical care benefits to 72% of private industry workers in March 2024 reflects the importance of such offerings in employee retention strategies. bls.gov
