Navigating the complex landscape of employee benefits poses a challenge for employers, especially those seeking to support part-time workers or individuals exempt from mandatory benefit provisions. Cost-effective options, particularly standalone telehealth services, can not only significantly improve access to care but also lead to enhanced employee productivity and improved retention rates.

The recruitment and retention challenge

Employers of all sizes face the impact of the inability to offer benefits, particularly for part-time workers or those exempt from mandatory benefit provisions. This challenge extends to the recruitment and retention arena, creating a gap that can hinder overall employee satisfaction and loyalty. Moreover, training new employees incurs substantial costs, with even part-time employee training averaging around $3,500 for larger companies.
