Keep them healthy

As health care costs continue to rise and eat up more and more of your company’s operating budget, you may want to consider re-evaluating your company’s health care offerings. And in an environment where workers are difficult to come by, a company-sponsored health care plan can be a strong recruitment and retention tool.

This month, NRCA in partnership with Vault Strategies, Bloomington, Ill., is offering the first and only health care program tailored specifically to the roofing industry.

According to NRCA CEO Reid Ribble: “One of the biggest concerns NRCA members tell us they have is workforce issues—it’s really difficult to attract and retain good employees. As an industry, we must take care of our employees. One important way we can do that is by offering quality benefits such as health insurance.”

The NRCA Health Care Program enables NRCA members of all categories and sizes to offer employer-sponsored health care options. The plan is flexible, based on your company’s needs and budget, and can be offered with or without employer contributions. You also can make available to employees voluntary benefits, such as dental, vision, life, disability and accident insurance, and work with your current broker or use an NRCA Health Care Program broker.

Coverage includes everything from full-service major medical to supplemental or prescription-only coverage. In addition, the NRCA Health Care Program offers a telehealth option.

“Being that NRCA serves its members and the roofing industry, it fits our mission and vision to bring a quality and affordable health care program to members. And what we are bringing is a game-changer,” Ribble says.
