Booming Residential Markets Lead to High Demand for Quality Construction Workers
Whether your construction business works on skyscrapers or unique building finishes, your employees; from bricklayers to electricians; are the foundation of your service offerings. Completing projects safely, on time, under budget, and with high customer service are directly correlated to the quality of your output.
You need the right set of benefits to attract and retain the best talent in your market. In the construction field, a higher amount of physical labor can result in an increased number of workers comp claims and higher overall medical expenses. Because of this, quality short and long term disability plans are important.
There are an estimated 170,000 construction companies in the United States, employing over 680,000 people. In general, the industry is heavily male, with the average employer having four full-time employees, making it more important than ever to invest in the right employee benefits. Doing so will save your company money, help to retain the best employees, and can prevent unforeseen costs.
75% of construction companies offer life insurance, which is again below the national average.
29% of construction companies offer access to a short-term disability plan, and only 17% offer access to a long-term disability plan. These are both well below the national averages.
The construction industry has unique risks. Employers look to offer competitive medical insurance with the national averages but are below average in their disability, life, vacation, and leave as well as retirement offerings. If an employer can better design a plan, you should be able to attract and retain top-quality employees and use this plan as a differentiator.
