Museum and historical site employees, from historians and park program coordinators to museum conservators and environmentalists, require an incentive to join a team for full-time employment. The easiest way to attract these employees is by offering a quality and comprehensive benefits package as a term of their employment. This means providing health, dental, and vision coverage, disability and life insurance, and ample paid vacation time.
There aren’t many museum and historical sites nationwide; there are 8,000 locations across the country employing over 154,000 individuals. Each museum, park, or historical ground houses an average of 20 workers, and it is relatively evenly split between female and male employees. The median age is 39 years old.
41% of all museums and historical sites offer access to both short-term disability plans, and 53% offer long-term disability plans. The national average is 42% and 34%, respectively.
A full 64% of architect and design firms offer life insurance coverage. The national average is 56%.
Employers of museums and historical sites sit right in line with other industries when it comes to providing quality employee benefits. With the right broker, you will be able to choose from plenty of employee health benefits packages that will entice quality employees that will stay at your business for years to come. And when this happens, you are more likely to experience increased productivity, a greater employee work-life balance, and a team of employees to see you through some uncertainty in the industry.
