Access to Fortune 500-level benefits packages is just one of the treats in store for small to medium businesses that partner with eESI.

More benefits options means better recruiting

Of course, making sure you have the right mix of health and other benefits is always important for your business. But in today’s job market, offering an attractive blend of benefits, including voluntary benefits is essential. The benefits offered by an organization have a significant impact on job seekers’ decision making writes Kerry Jones in her article, The Most Desirable Employee Benefits. What tops employees’ wish list according to the Fractl survey cited by Jones? Better health, dental, and vision insurance. Tracking employee wants in its 2018 Employee Benefit Trends Study, MetLife notes that employees want flexibility and choice when it comes to the benefits that companies offer. The current workforce includes participants from four generations. And each is comprised of individuals who have different wants and needs when it comes to benefits.
