Over a period, companies have realized that their employees are integral to their success and one of
their most important assets. And like every other asset, companies should look forward to insuring
this asset as well. With the rise of the internet, the boom in the smartphone industry, and the
emergence of digital-first insurers, companies have a good option in this regard—Employee Health
Insurance. Companies are not required to provide health insurance for their workers. However, when
a potential employee considers working for a particular company, healthcare insurance is a
significant factor. While it may be beneficial for employers, offering healthcare packages to
employees could prove problematic due to its high cost. Employer-based healthcare also helps in
preventing unauthorized absence in the workplace. Companies that offer healthcare insurance to
their workers must consider all the pros and cons of such benefits. As for its advantages, potential
candidates will find career opportunities that include healthcare coverage to be more attractive. For
example, a potential worker will even take a job with a lower salary offer if it includes health
insurance, which can also benefit a company in the long run. A company that depends on labour
efficiency will always witness the benefit of strong, healthy workers. Companies can also receive tax
benefits by offering its employees a health package. In terms disadvantages, the constant increase in
the cost of health insurance is also a factor to consider. Insurance premiums for workers are factored
into the cost of labour which may fluctuate depending on the coverage purchased by the company as
well as conditions in the market. There is also the issue of negligence and whether companies may be
liable for any mistakes, increasing the probability of fines or lawsuits, and thereby increasing their
financial burdens. Small businesses suffer even more since the administrative cost for health package
benefits are significantly disproportionate to their profits compared to major corporations. Health
insurance is effective for deterring workers from being absent for illness-related reasons. In such
situations, employees are required to provide a medical certificate, and paid sick leave is only
determined by the employer, which also helps to reduce absenteeism. However, if sick leave exceeds
the allotted paid period, a worker must submit the required medical certificates that explain the
reason. In cases when a company refuses to provide further sick leave, an employee has the right to
sue an employer; thus, a company may face a fine or lawsuit. Companies providing healthcare
insurance must consider both legal and cost advantages and disadvantages before purchasing
coverage to their employees.
