Industry Benefits Summary

Non-Profit Industry- Employee Benefits Summary

A non-profit is an organization that is not required to pay taxes on the basis that its business benefits the broad public interest. The not-for-profit organization industry includes establishments as massive as the American Red Cross as well as local soup kitchens, houses of worship, and community hospitals.

These passionate individuals are uncommon in the everyday workplace; if companies want to bring in employees who are hardworking and dedicated, they'll need to offer a comprehensive benefits package.

It is important to note that these organizations have a higher percentage of part time employees. Usually their boards play a very influential role in who the insurance broker is and the RFP process as well as likely participate in the benefit and insurance carrier plan selection.
