Most Business Owners are Wrong
Most Business Owners Are Wrong About the Cost of Employee Benefits
A new study shows that 1 in 10 adults are skipping healthcare because they can’t afford it. That is a big problem, and it’s something business owners can actually help fix.
But here is what a lot of business owners get wrong. They think benefits cost way more than they really do. Many of them talk to a friend who owns a business and hear, “I pay 700 dollars a month per employee.” So they think, “I can’t do that.”
The truth is, just because one business pays that much does not mean yours will. Every business is different. Costs can change based on your team size, your industry, and the kind of plan you choose. There are affordable options for almost every situation.
What most business owners don’t realize is that offering benefits can actually save money in the long run. It helps you keep good employees, lowers how much you spend hiring and training new people, and shows your team you care. Even small steps like offering basic health plans or cost-sharing options can make a big difference.
If you have been putting off looking at employee benefits because you think it’s too expensive, it’s time to take another look. You might be surprised at what’s possible.
Talk to someone who can give you real numbers for your business. Don’t rely on what someone else told you. Your business and your employees deserve better.
