It’s a job seeker’s market, so finding a competitive differentiation can be the answer to getting candidates in the door. You can offer higher pay, more days off, or perks like free meals or room discounts, but if you want to really get the attention of candidates, offer a great benefits package that includes affordable health and wellness solutions. 

Affordable benefits packages  

Ongoing research from the American Psychological Association shows that 92% of workers want to be employed by an organization that cares about their health and mental well-being. However, affordability can be a barrier for employers who want to offer solid health and wellness benefits to their staff. This is one of the reasons the North Carolina Restaurant & Lodging Association (NCRLA) has become a partner of Healthiest You, an organization that provides curated wellness benefits to employers.

Members of NCRLA can partner directly with Healthiest You to find the right health and wellness solutions today’s employees want, including:

• Health plans and insurance
• Telehealth 
• Virtual doctor visits
• Support groups
• Pharmacy discounts
• Savings on child, pet, and senior care
• Professional development opportunities

And don’t forget about mental health. Many restaurant and hotel jobs are intensely busy, fast-paced, and stressful, which is why burnout is a real issue. Honoring the need for time off, schedule flexibility, and self-care as part of your mental health benefits can go a long way toward employee job satisfaction.

Benefits solutions offered through Healthiest You function as a one-stop shop so you don’t have to spend hours comparing plans and vendors. The suite of solutions offers convenient coverage—and might just help you stand out as a preferred employer.
