How can voluntary benefits help in the manufacturing industry?
Trustmark understands that experienced employees are retiring, and attracting younger employees to a career in manufacturing can be a challenge. Being short staffed can lead to challenges such as increased costs, production delays, and risks of workplace accidents. Here’s how voluntary benefits can benefit healthcare employers:
- Trustmark Voluntary Benefits are offered at no cost to employers, helping manufacturing facilities manage tight budgets while offering benefits protection workers want and need
