Benefits for small and medium-sized businesses - FAQs
Medical insurance for small companies – does your business need it?
Providing medical insurance for employees of SMEs can be a great idea. It shows your teams that you care about their wellbeing. It also helps to reduce absenteeism as it allows your employees to get quick access to doctor appointments, tests, check-ups and procedures.
Small business health insurance – does it include dental insurance?
Small business health insurance can absolutely include dental insurance – for both your employees and their families. Which at a time when access to NHS dentists can be limited, can be a real bonus. Talk to us about what you’d like to include in your small business employee benefits offer – and what would be most useful to your teams.
Why are wellbeing benefits good for small business employees?
Research shows that investing in employee benefits results in more engaged and productive teams for businesses of all sizes. When you offer wellbeing benefits to your employees, you give them peace of mind that they’re covered and they can plan for the future. For example, a pension empowers colleagues to save for a comfortable retirement. You could also include health cover that provides quick access to a GP or dentist. If you opt to include gym passes in your benefits package, you can directly contribute to keeping colleagues fit and healthy – and less likely to miss work through illness. A comprehensive benefits offer can boost team morale – and boost your reputation as an employer.
Can a small or medium-sized business offer flexible benefits?
Yes – it’s not just larger employers that can offer flex packages. We can help you to set up a flexible benefits offer that’s tailored to your company’s requirements. Give us a call to learn more.
