Providing benefits to employees, including a solid healthcare plan, not only tells employees that your investing in them but also gives the impression of a professional, top quality firm that maintains structural norms and is competitive with other companies within your industry. Just paying your employees more without providing benefits will never create the feeling of security and stablility that other companies are willing to provide through added benefits. I agree with Chris, if you don’t provide benefits you are leaving employees with doubts and concerns about the kind of company you are running and when hiring new employees the best candidates will take positions that provide benefits over ones that don’t (even when the pay is adequately adjusted).

So workers can just spend their own salaries, and multiply their pay by 10? No need for an employer to do it.

Provide healthcare. Pony up and do it. Every dollar you spend on employee healthcare is equal to $10 in pay in their minds. It say’s that you’re investing in their health and safety.
