With the move to remote for many workers, health coverage has remained the most valuable benefit one can get from a company beyond monetary compensation. But there are a wide spread of benefit packages out there, some slimmer than they seem, other bursting with compassionate offerings. Here is how 6 companies do it well.
Can you tell us about the health benefits you offer workers?
We’ve got you covered from head to toe. RingCentral, Inc. offers a comprehensive benefits package ranging from general medical, dental, and vision benefits to company-paid disability, Flexible Spending Accounts, and a Health Savings Account. We believe that family is important and that’s why we recently announced a new fertility benefit as part of our continued DE&I initiatives. In 2021, we launched a behavioral health benefit for employees and their children with learning disabilities alongside an at-work program designed for Managers and employees. Mental health is always a rising topic and we’ve partnered with a company to offer 1:1 wellness counseling for employees at their convenience. Beyond healthy snacks, catered meals, yoga, and boot camp fitness classes, our Wellness team also covers topics ranging from meal prepping to financial wellness, ergonomic assessments, and meditation. One perk that our employees love is that they have access to a free meditation app! You don’t want to miss our monthly health talks capped off by an annual Wellness week.
Have health benefits changed or become more important to employees in recent years?
Benefits have changed in recent years as the workforce and family needs have changed. Each year, RingCentral continues to provide rich, overall benefit offerings enhancing continued health services, support/resources, fertility services and the appropriate care and navigation each of our employees and their family members may need. We help pay a portion of the benefit premiums as the cost of healthcare continues to rise. It’s important we listen to our employees to consider new benefits offerings to remain competitive to retain and attract talent.

Can you tell us about the health benefits you offer workers?
Our health benefits reflect our dedication to providing our team members with the coverage they need, tailored to themselves and their families. Whether that’s HMO access or PPO plans where they select the provider they want, we have options to fit individual needs. As a healthcare provider, our commitment is to continue to improve the coverage our team members and their families have access to, be it HSA funds to cover DispatchHealth visits for themselves, or fertility benefits to help them grow their families continue to expand and evolve over time.
Have health benefits changed or become more important to employees in recent years?
In the past year, we’ve invested more heavily in employer-paid insurance premiums so that with our base plan we are able to offer a $0 cost premium for health, dental, and vision plans for team members and their families. We’ve added an HSA employer contribution for employees who select a high deductible health insurance plan so they start with a nest egg to help offset out-of-pocket healthcare costs. Team members are able to use this HSA money to pay for four DispatchHealth visits and/or combine it with other healthcare needs throughout the year. Fertility benefits have become increasingly important to team members. As a result, we’ve added a $30K lifetime fertility benefit for our team members. Finally, we’ve added a list of preventative prescription medications that are covered at 100% for our high deductible plan members.

At Waste Connections, our goal is to move beyond a basic benefits offering and provide employees with a comprehensive suite of options to help balance work commitments and personal life. For example, in addition to medical, dental, and vision coverage, we also have industry-leading financial protection plans and retirement benefits with a generous company matching contribution. Additionally, for employees with college-age children, we offer the Waste Connections Scholarship Program to assist with the cost of college or vocational school. And both new mothers and fathers are able to take advantage of the paid parental time off for additional time to spend with a new child.

Over the past couple of years, wellness has become a key focus of our benefits strategy. Last year, we launched a wellness portal to help support employees with work commitments and personal life challenges. This platform focused on financial wellness, emotional strength, and physical wellbeing. Last year we also surveyed our employees to understand what benefits they valued and what benefits they wanted improved. As a result of some of that feedback, we enhanced our dental plan, significantly improved our disability program, introduced paid parental leave for new mothers and fathers, and launched a comprehensive financial planning platform.

We have continued to place a strong emphasis on the benefits that our N-ablites have shared that are important to them.

As a largely veteran-employed organization, a majority of our employees rely on veteran services and insurance providers. In addition to the broad range of benefits we provide, we offer a number of ancillary benefits that augment the government and veteran-provided services of our employees. We would agree that, in recent years, we’ve seen a larger demand for these ancillary services and we continue to benchmark and conduct employee surveys to poll our employees to best understand what is valuable to them and continue to provide the best overall benefits package.
