A benefit your people use every month, for less than a pay rise costs you.
Traditional plans are expensive, slow to administer and hard to sustain at a small headcount. This is the opposite of that: no administration, no underwriting, predictable cost, and something an employee actually notices at the pharmacy counter rather than once a year at renewal.
Which is the entire argument on one line. A 5% rise is permanent payroll; a benefit is not.
Benefits are not a retention tool alone. They decide offers.
The same proportion again consider benefits crucial when choosing an employer.
And 29% say their employer offers only the bare minimum.
Figures from employee benefits surveys
02 — The cost of doing nothing
Offering nothing is itself a message
Employees read an absent benefits package, and what they read is rarely generous.
None of those conclusions are necessarily fair, and all of them cost you in a competitive labor market — first in who applies, then in who stays.
03 — What you would be offering
Against a traditional plan
Not a replacement for health cover. A different thing, aimed at a different problem.
Employees get the same seventeen-category catalogue as any other member — up to 85% on prescriptions, 15–50% on dental, 10–60% on vision, 10–80% on lab work — on the same card, at the same networks.
04 — Setting it up
Sized to your business, not to a package
Small business arrangements are built around headcount, workforce needs and what you are actually trying to fix.
Some businesses want a recruiting line on the job advert. Some want to give an existing team something without touching payroll. Those are different problems and they do not get the same answer, which is why pricing and plan detail here are worked out in conversation rather than posted on a page.
