Episode 22

Top Benefits You Should Consider Offering As A Small Business

As a small business owner, offering benefits to your employees can feel a little bit intimidating and costly. I break down the different benefits you should consider offering, including health insurance, paid time off, retirement solutions, and other perks that really help you stand out to potential employees. 

I share some simple tools to help get started with setting up a health insurance plan and determining how much you want to contribute. I get into some of the pros and cons of lump sum versus accrued paid time off, and what I recommend small business owners offer for federal holidays. I also give a sneak peek into next week’s episode, which is going to have a more in-depth look at paid parental leave. 

I hope that this episode clears up some common misconceptions about employee benefits and sparks inspiration about what you can offer your employees, regardless of how big your team is. 


IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • Simple ways to provide health insurance benefits when you only have a few employees
  • Different types of paid time off, including vacation, sick, and unlimited 
  • An overview of retirement solutions 
  • Why more and more companies are offering a health and wellness stipends 
  • Benefits to consider if your team is mostly or all remote

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
