Employers may provide a variety of insurance plans to their employees, designed to meet the needs of their workforce. These may include:

Health Insurance - Health insurance is a type of insurance that covers the cost of medical care. Employer-provided health insurance typically covers the employee, their dependents, and sometimes retirees. Many employers provide health insurance as part of their benefits package, though the specifics of the coverage will vary depending on the plan.
Life Insurance - Life insurance helps provide for an individual’s loved ones in the event of the death of the insured person. Employers may offer life insurance as part of their benefits package, allowing individuals to name beneficiaries and provide for them upon their passing.
Disability Insurance - Disability insurance helps employees in the event of an unexpected disability that hinders their ability to work. Disability insurance can provide individuals with income until they are able to return to work.
Long-term Care Insurance - Long-term care insurance helps the insured individual receive care in the event of a long-term illness or disability. This type of insurance may help cover the costs of a variety of care, such as nursing home care, home health care, or in-home assistance.
Dental/Vision Insurance - Many employers also provide dental and vision insurance plans as part of their benefits package. These plans can help cover the costs of routine dental and vision care, as well as certain treatments and procedures.
