The benefits of providing health insurance
October 5, 2023
One of the five pillars of the green business program is ‘Thriving Community & Equity’ – a pillar that focuses on how businesses can make positive impacts for both their community and their employees. One of the key ways employers can support their workers is by providing health insurance… I know often easier said than done! Providing health insurance coverage can be really expensive for small businesses, but we all know that a healthy workforce is important to our community.
At the Park City Chamber & Visitor’s Bureau, we’ve spent a lot of time discussing how employees who have high-quality health benefit options are healthier, happier, and more engaged in their work. Fortunately, in partnership with the Heber Valley Chamber and local insurance experts, we are now able to provide a new program to help small businesses offer health insurance to their employees! You can find more information HERE.
This new group insurance program gives chamber member businesses affordable access to medical, dental, vision, and other benefits (like pet insurance!) to their employees, including employers with as few as two employees. Our hope is that this program will decrease the insurance burden on small businesses and help them secure and support the top talent that keeps our community running!
