The Basics
What are voluntary benefits?
Voluntary benefits are supplemental insurance and health products that employers make available to their employees — but that employees choose and pay for themselves.
Because they're purchased as a group, employees get access to better rates than they could find on the open market.
For employers, there's no cost — but significant upside in terms of employee satisfaction and retention. For brokers and TPAs, it's a new revenue stream with no additional infrastructure.
In Canada, voluntary benefits have historically been hard to access at scale. Perigon changes that.
