What is typically included in an employer’s group health plan?

An employer’s group health plan typically includes health insurance benefits as a part of compensation. This arrangement allows employers to provide a uniform set of health benefits to a group of employees, which is often more cost-effective than individual plans due to the pooling of risk among all covered employees. This approach not only helps attract and retain talent by offering a critical component of benefits but also enables employees to access a range of healthcare services that might be cost-prohibitive to obtain individually.

Including health insurance benefits in compensation demonstrates an employer's commitment to supporting their employees' health and well-being, fitting within broader employee welfare and organizational sustainability strategies.
