Add-on Benefits can Improve Productivity
Although a few bucks every month isn’t nothing when you think about contributing to each employees’ dental and vision premium, you might want to weigh that cost against the benefit of hiring and maintaining quality employees for your business. Studies have shown that employees tend to value health benefits even more than pay raises. So if you want to show your employees’ appreciation, keep them around, and continue hiring valuable assets to your company, having a full small business benefits package that includes dental and vision might be the way to accomplish all that.
