It’s no secret that the rise of remote employees has transformed the way we all live and do business. And this evolution has created quite a few advantages, from increased flexibility to a greatly expanded pool of potential employees. But a shift of this size will also create a few new challenges, like finding authentic ways to support your remote employees and make them feel like an essential part of your company.

• Around 22 million U.S. adults work from home full-time^[1]
• Over 90% of executives say culture and connection are lacking for remote team members^[2]

One meaningful way to show that you care is through a robust benefits package. By providing something of value to your employees – something they’ll remember each time they visit the dentist for preventive care or get relief from a toothache – you’ll create a connection that lasts longer than the memory of a pizza party.

Why do employees appreciate TruAssure benefits?

In addition to great benefits, a TruAssure plan gives your employees access to big member perks, including:

• Strong network of dentists: We offer more choice and allow employees to find in-network care near home or while traveling.
• TruAssure Virtual Visits: Members have 24/7 access to dental care through our partnership with Teledentistry.com. Members can book a virtual visit for an after-hours dental issue or emergency, if they don’t have a regular dentist, or if they simply need a consult and don’t want to leave their home.
• Oral health tips and education: Our extensive blog is updated year-round with useful tips, tricks, and information that employees can use to maintain a healthy smile.
• Online resources: Employees can easily find a dentist, download forms, or view FAQs on our website.
• TruPerks exclusive discount program: TruAssure members have access to exclusive and robust discounts on a wide range of products and services.
  • The LifeMart member discount program offers discounts on everything from flights, gifts and groceries to electronics, entertainment and much more.
  • The Philips Sonicare member discount program provides savings on Sonicare products such as toothbrushes and power flossers, as well as reduced prices for items from Norelco and Avent mother and baby products.

More preventive care. Reduced absenteeism.

In addition to making your employees more appreciative, TruAssure’s dental benefits also support reduced employee absenteeism. That’s because our plans include 100% coverage for preventive care visits – which makes your employees more likely to see the dentist. During these preventive checkups and exams, dentists can catch and treat issues early, so your team can maintain a healthy smile inside and outside of their home office!

A few other ways to support remote employee’s oral health include:

• Make sure all benefits communications are easy to access electronically.
• Clearly communicate who they should contact about questions or concerns.
• Periodically promote TruAssure benefits and member perks during company meetings.

Give them a reason to keep smiling!

You care about your employees – and know that supporting remote workers requires authentic words and actions. Show your remote team you care and offer TruAssure dental benefits they’ll truly appreciate.
