Disability insurance is a crucial benefit for employers looking to help support their employees and attract talent. But the cost of these benefits can be tricky for HR organizations to balance, particularly as costs rise across the board in the benefits industry. All of this begs the question, how can you provide the best benefits for your budget? In this discussion we will look at the ways in which short-term disability plans and disability-adjacent coverages can be funded and how to consider what may work best for your organization’s budget and culture needs.

Join us to gain valuable insights on:  

  • Defining short-term disability (STD) funding mechanisms and their key differences
