Should You Offer Employees Healthcare Benefits?

Key employees and leaders are essential to the long-term success of your practice. Hiring and keeping the right team in place can make a difference in your patients’ welfare and determine how patients feel about you as a physician. So how can you attract and retain the best employees? One consideration: healthcare benefits.

While healthcare benefits are optional for smaller employers, they are of critical importance to most employees. In fact, nearly three in five (57 percent) employees report benefits and perks as being their top consideration before accepting a job. Offering benefits may cost you more initially, but the long-term benefits can far outweigh additional costs.

During this one-hour program, practice management expert Debra Phairas discusses how various business models and operational enhancements can increase revenue to help your practice remain successful in today’s competitive marketplace.

When you offer a benefits package, it shows a vested interest in your employees. Offering benefits can help promote good morale and keep employees happier and healthier. If employees have access to wellness and preventative-care doctor visits, they tend to take fewer sick days; this, in turn, translates into better service for your patients and overall increased productivity. Offering benefits also creates a loyalty to you as an employer and reduces the likelihood of valued employees leaving due to of lack of benefits.

When you contribute to your employees’ benefit plan, it also lowers the cost of providing coverage for you and your family and provides better coverage options because you are purchasing your coverage as a group.
