How does Group Health Insurance Help in Reducing Attrition?

Employee health insurance is medical coverage provided by the employer to his employees. It includes health insurance benefits for all employees under a common umbrella. Group health plans not only form a distinctive part of the employee benefits package of big corporates but have also become essential for startups and SMEs. It is a tool to reduce attrition rates and remain competitive in the market.

The benefits of group health insurance plans for employees are many, which may lead to lower attrition rates. Some of these benefits are mentioned below:

  1. Gives them peace of mind: With group health plans employees get access to quality healthcare, usually free of cost. They are assured that in case of medical emergencies, the company has their back, and the financial burden would be taken care of.
  2. Most popular fringe benefit: Group health insurance in recent times has not just emerged as a standard fringe benefit offered by the employer. It has instead become a necessity. It is one of the most common types of fringe benefit that is widely offered and utilized.
  3. Makes them feel valued and cared for: The employer being present at the time of need makes an employee feel valued and cared for. Employee health insurance thus inculcates the idea of belongingness toward the organization. The employee feels a sense of responsibility towards the organization which in turn improves his performance at work.

  • Wellness benefits: Be it fitness, gym, mental health, or other activities that encourage employees to participate and promote wellness initiatives. Almost every group health insurance company offer these benefits.
