The social assistance services subsector provides a number of different social services directly to clients; community food and housing services, emergency relief services, rehabilitation services, and even child daycare services fall under this vital umbrella.
Employees in this industry serve so many people on a regular basis that capable, caring employees will always be needed. Only businesses offering protection in the form of comprehensive health coverage will be able to draw the best candidates. Higher employee turnover rates and percentage of part time workers can make benefit offering and administration somewhat more difficult than the average industry. The average employee demographic can range significantly from a high school senior to a retired senior citizen, each with different motivations for working.
Additionally, staffing approaches can have a significant influence on benefits and structure, with some part time shifts, becoming the norm. With both a higher rate of females in child-bearing age as well as a variety of older employees, disability plans are important as there can be a physical component to this role. To create a custom benefit package, you need to know your specific group of employees and decide what options will meet their needs.
There are around 76,000 social assistance services organizations nationwide, employing over 1.8 million professionals. On average, each business tends to be on the smaller side, with 25 staff members. This is a female-dominated industry, and the median employee age is 42 years old.
37% of employers offer short-term disability insurance, and 39% provide a long-term disability option. The national average is 42% and 34%, respectively.
60% offer access to a life insurance plan. Comparatively, the national average is 56%.
In general, the social assistance services industry stands above the national industry standard of providing comprehensive benefits packages to their employees. While yes, there is some room for improvement, such as providing more disability coverage options, as a whole employers in this industry recognize the importance benefits packages can bring. Namely, all-inclusive social assistance employee benefits packages work hard to attract quality, experienced candidates, while retaining them for years to come.
