I like how Craig Copeland, Ron Dresner, and the Employee Benefit Research Institute phrased this as an awareness issue rather than an access issue. "Among the small business owners not offering a plan, almost three-quarters (72 percent) said they were not aware of tax credits up to $5,000 being available to cover the costs of starting a retirement plan. However, 78 percent said the tax credits would make it at least somewhat more attractive to offer a plan." It's crucial that those of us who are passionate about small business retirement plans raise awareness around solutions like tax credits.

It's nearly open enrolment season in the US and as a reminder... "Workers on average in the US spend only about 18 minutes on their open-enrolment choices, with most of that time devoted to analyzing healthcare plans", Jeff Miller said. That’s why he and other speakers at the Employee Benefit Research Institute conference urged companies to try to keep raising awareness about benefits throughout the year.

Employee benefits have evolved beyond the traditional offerings of medical aid, primary plans, gap cover, and retirement funds. While these core benefits form the foundation of a robust package, it's essential to consider the unique needs and risks associated with your specific industry. By tailoring benefits to your employees' roles and environments, you can enhance job satisfaction, attract top talent, and foster a healthier, more productive workforce. The Core Benefits: A Solid Foundation -Medical Aid: A cornerstone of employee benefits, providing access to essential healthcare services. -Primary Plan: Offers basic medical coverage for general check-ups. -Gap Cover: Bridges the gap between medical aid and out-of-pocket expenses. -Retirement Funds: Helps employees save for their golden years. Tailored benefits not only demonstrate your commitment to employee well-being but also contribute to a positive work culture and increased employee retention.

Employers need to have a process in place to monitor fees of their employee benefit vendors. This applies equally to retirement plans as well as group health plans. After all, both are important components of the employee benefit program and employers need to understand how the providers are compensated, and whether their fees are reasonable. The article sheds light on the importance of establishing a formal review process and documenting it in order to ensure compliance with ever-changing regulations.

This week marks five decades since President Ford signed ERISA — the law that sets standards for retirement and health plans for America’s workers. It’s evolved a lot over the years, but there’s still more to do to ensure all workforces have access to well-rounded health benefits. That’s why we’re proud to work with employers who go above and beyond in supporting their employees with healthcare benefits that provide affordable, accessible, and high-quality care.
