Benefits Summary
What are employee benefits?

In short, employee benefits go beyond monetary compensation and serve as a crucial component of Christensen Group's total compensation package.

More specifically, employee benefits are a set of non-wage compensation offerings provided by employers to their employees in addition to their regular salaries or wages. These benefits are designed to enhance the overall well-being and job satisfaction of employees, demonstrating a commitment to their welfare beyond just their paycheck. Employee benefits encompass a wide range of offerings, including health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off (such as vacation and sick leave), wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and more.

Employee benefits are crucial to you because they provide financial security through health insurance and retirement plans, improve the quality of life with paid time off and wellness programs, and offer a competitive advantage in the job market. Taking these benefits seriously ensures peace of mind in the face of unexpected life events and disabilities and positions individuals for job security, career advancement, and overall well-being.

This insurance offers you a way to protect loved ones financially in the event of your passing. The death benefit can be used to cover various expenses, such as funeral costs, outstanding debts, mortgage payments, and income replacement, ensuring that your family is financially secure during a difficult time.

Life insurance is essential for individuals who want to safeguard their family's financial future and provide a safety net in case of an untimely death. It can offer peace of mind, knowing that loved ones will have the financial support they need to maintain their quality of life and meet ongoing financial obligations. Life insurance policies can also be used for estate planning, charitable giving, and other financial purposes, making them a versatile tool if you're seeking to protect your financial legacy and ensure that your loved ones are well taken care of in your absence.

Note: Voluntary Life and AD&D can be elected separately. However, to be eligible for AD&D or any other offered supplemental life and AD&D insurance, you must be enrolled in at least $10,000 of Voluntary Life coverage for yourself as the employee.
