As pet ownership increases, more companies are embracing pet-friendly policies to boost employee satisfaction and retention. My The Charlotte Ledger colleague Cristina Bolling took a closer look at this trend and found: 🐶 Many companies now offer pet insurance. In 2022, 36% of U.S. companies with over 500 workers provided pet insurance, a significant increase from five years earlier. Catapult Employers Association says that 8.9% of companies that responded to its 2022 N.C. Healthcare Benefits & Cost Survey said they offer pet insurance. 🐶 Some companies have added benefits such as "pawternity leave" (when a new pet is brought into one's house) and pet bereavement leave. 🐶 Pet-related benefits can make companies more attractive to potential hires, especially younger workers who are focused on their pets. Catapult's Stephanie Dillon, PHR, SHRM-CP said that companies should start by assessing the needs of their workers: “You really need to take a step back and say, ‘What do people want?’ When you’re looking at implementing a total rewards strategy, what is beneficial to these people?” ➡️ Read Cristina's article — "Company benefits are going to the dogs" — here, from The Charlotte Ledger newsletter last week: https://lnkd.in/e_rzZKG3

A voluntary benefit that many employers need or others could use a modern take on is pet insurance. That’s why we have partnered with Rainwalk Pet Insurance for their generous coverage and fresh approach. Here are three reasons employers should offer pet insurance now: 1. It doesn’t cost employers a dime. They can subsidize pet insurance if they want, but it’s not required to offer this valuable benefit. 2. It’s independent of open enrollment; so HR leaders can integrate it into their benefits at any time. 3. 50% of millennial pet parents would struggle to afford life-saving medical treatment for their pets. Pet insurance can help. If your clients want to consider a pet health insurance benefit, please reach out to your Alera Group General Agency contact to get more information. https://lnkd.in/eMVzMqqF #OpenEnrollment #EmployeeBenefits #VoluntaryBenefits #PetInsurance #PetInsurancePolicies Jonathan M.

Pet benefits are one of the best employee satisfaction, attraction and retention strategies right now. Makes sense though... - 23,000,000 households adopting pets during the first year of the pandemic, and about 40% of dog owners choosing pets over parenthood. - About 51% of employees say pet insurance could impact their decision to take a job. While only 24% of employers currently offer pet insurance. Of the 24% offering pet insurance, do they only offer an insurance product? Do they offer multiple voluntary pet benefit products? Such as, an industry leading discount bundle? Or standalone wellness plans? Of the 51% saying pet insurance could impact their decision to take a job, they'd definitely like to see options to choose from that fits their specific pet needs. We've got work to do for 2025. At the least, +76% of work to do...
