As companies compete for the best talent, a great benefits package can make the difference between standing out from competitors and getting lost in the crowd. For current employees, better benefits can strengthen wellness programs and improve overall employee health. Dental insurance is one area in which companies can enhance their offerings.

Better benefits improve hiring, retention

Research conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management revealed that 60% of employees regard employee benefits as paramount when determining whether to remain with their current employer. This underscores the pivotal role benefits play in fostering employee loyalty and satisfaction within organizations.

That gap reveals an enormous growth opportunity for businesses to improve their benefits. In turn, benefit improvements will help companies draw in prospective employees and hold on to top performers.

Dental benefits are an area where employers can improve their overall compensation package in order to stand out to potential employees and maintain value in the eyes of their current team members. Employees expect dental benefits and are looking for dental coverage that goes beyond basic cleanings. TruAssure provides companies with flexible and comprehensive dental plans to meet employee needs.

Oral health impacts employees’ overall health

Employee health is key to productivity and morale. Dental care impacts not just oral health but overall health, making it an important part of employees’ preventive care regimens.

During regular exams, dentists can identify symptoms of more than 120 diseases, including anemia, diabetes, kidney failure, and heart disease. When these health concerns are caught early, treatment can begin and outcomes are improved. That makes dental visits a first line of defense against life-altering diseases, keeping your employees healthy and happy. Catching and treating health conditions early not only reduces dental care costs, but can reduce overall medical costs for both employers and their employees.

Dental fits with employee wellness programs

According to a report by the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 80% of U.S. businesses with over 50 employees have implemented corporate wellness programs.

TruAssure can customize a plan to meet the needs of groups with 10 or more eligible employees.
