Poaching Employees
WARNING TO SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS: Your competition is not only trying to steal your customers, they’re trying to steal your employees. In a low unemployment market like we have today, finding and keeping quality employees is critical to the performance of your business and losing good employees in which you have invested your time and efforts to train can be crippling. Experts will tell you the best place to get new employees is to poach them from your competition and the best way to keep good employees is to create exit barriers that discourage roaming.
One way to address both of these circumstances is to demonstrate your appreciation of their commitment and loyalty to your company. Providing quality, high-value benefits can be a big piece of this solution and in today’s world, medical benefits are at the top of the list of value added benefits. The obvious problem is cost. Major medical coverage is expensive and often times beyond the range of affordability for many small businesses. Additionally, young healthy employees are less likely to invest in high-end medical insurance because they seldom have need of it, so they prioritize other things. What they really need is low-end coverage that pays for those trips to the doctor’s office, but high deductible insurance plans make the doctor an out-of-pocket expense.
An excellent solution to this dilemma is available but many small business owners are unaware or under-informed about its potential. The solution didn’t sweep the market by storm like some new business concepts, rather it creeped in under the disguise of something else.
What would you say if I told you the Affordable Care Act expanded the practice of Hospital Telemedicine (hospital to patient for aftercare and chronic care) to a new process called Home Telemedicine (doctor direct to consumer care)? What would you think if I told you research indicates 70% of doctor’s office visits are unnecessary. Would it interest you to know that membership with one of the premier Home Telemedicine companies in America would provide 24/7/365 access to a board certified doctor for less than $15 per month. And oh, by the way, that same membership also provides 24/7/365 access to Behavioral Health Practitioners, email access to a large variety of medical specialists and Advocacy Services to assist with locating the best price for services.
Home telemedicine is the next generation of primary care medicine. In the near future it will become the accepted way for most consumers to consult with a doctor.
