As Hiring Ramps Up, Should You Revisit Your Statutory Insurance?

The “Great Resignation” of late 2021 and early 2022 has led to another employment trend for New Jersey business owners and HR managers: an increase in hiring.

In a trend Recruiter.com has deemed “the job hopper economy,” 60% of all millennials would leave their job within the first year for a better offer. And many are doing so, giving the Great Resignation a second moniker: The Great Reshuffling.

Employees are seeking a better work/life balance, opportunities to work remotely, and enhanced employee benefits packages. This is leading to increased recruiting and hiring costs for businesses. Recruiter.com said that recruiting and hiring costs will increase by $50 billion in 2022.

With increased hiring costs – along with greater payroll expenses and expanding workforces – New Jersey business owners may be looking for ways to save money.

Revisit Your Statutory Insurance for Increased Savings

As the profile of your workforce changes with employees leaving and new employees – often remote – taking their places, it may be time to re-evaluate your employee benefits, including statutory insurance.

You may be able to save money by privatizing TDB coverage and bundling it with other employee benefits, such as voluntary worksite benefits and ancillary benefits like dental and vision.

Voluntary worksite benefits encompass coverage such as:

  • Long-term care insurance to help protect savings and assets and pay for nursing home, assisted living, and at-home care
  • Accident insurance
  • Critical illness coverage

Other ancillary benefits include:

  • Group Life / AD&D
  • Vision
  • Dental
  • Long-term disability

You can sweeten the package with these benefits at a low cost. These benefits can be fully funded by the employer or offered on a voluntary cost-shared basis or fully funded by the employee.
