want insurers to offer more affordable plans, and 44% want better coverage, even from more expensive plans.
As with broader health and wellness plans, vision plans vary in coverage and quality, and companies need to choose their vision partner based on both employees’ health and corporate financial health. Organizations with a vision plan that thoroughly evaluates patients’ health and influences positive outcomes—coordinating care with health partners, identifying eligible members for disease management programs, and sending critical eye exam reminders—have been shown to have healthier employees.
In this challenging business environment, organizations can’t afford to cut corners on health care. Vision care, mental health, and other wellness benefits are an investment both in employees and business growth. Putting employees’ wellness at the core of business strategies can result in a long-lasting improvement in employee productivity, engagement, and retention.
Vision care is an investment both in employees and growth. Having the foresight to put employees’ expectations for wellness care at the core of your business strategy might claim more of your organization’s budget in the short term. But the goodwill and growth you can build by offering vision care may last a lot longer.
