5 companies that will pay 100% of your health insurance premiums
With health care costs continuing to rise, this perk can be very, very, very valuable.
When it comes to employee benefits, today’s companies are offering everything from fully stocked office kitchens to video game consoles in the break room to telecommuting options. And yet, all those new-fangled bells and whistles aren’t detracting from the allure of good old-fashioned health benefits. Health care/medical benefits is the No. 2 benefit U.S. employees rated as “very important to their job satisfaction” (62%), according to a recent study from the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM)—the top spot went to paid time off, which ranked just one single percentage point higher at 63%.
With the majority of U.S. organizations offering some type of health care plan (96%, according to the SHRM study) to employees, a few stand out—they really, really stand out. How? By paying 100% of their employees’ medical premiums. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Monster found 5 such companies that are hiring now.
