We're very excited to announce Essential StaffCARE has become the newest Integrated Partner with COATS! All COATS clients are eligible for this exciting opportunity. Where other software vendors would charge hundreds of dollars or more to implement a customized payroll report update for our weekly file transfers, COATS offers this free of charge! There has never been a charge for staffing companies to offer our products, the ONLY costs incurred comes from the software or payroll vendor to update their system. COATS has made this truly "cost free"!
Essential StaffCARE is the largest underwriter of health insurance for temporary employees in the nation. Over 250 staffing companies across the country, with thousands of office locations nation wide, offer our high quality benefits for their temporary personnel. Our largest client alone has over 700 offices offering these benefits with close to 40,000 of their temporaries enrolled.
Why do so many staffing companies and their temps love this program?
It's simple in three reasons. First, we have the highest voluntary participation in this program more than anyone out there. We average 38% participation on an enrollment basis. This high participation translates in improved retention for our clients. Enrolled employees stay with their company 57% longer than those that do not enroll. This greatly affects a staffing company's bottom line! Secondly, this program helps win new contracts. A solid benefit program has become crucial to our clients for gaining that edge to win the new lucrative contract. We have the testimonials to prove it.
"We won a million dollar new client at a high billable rate, and these health benefits were a major reason. We beat out all of the other bidders, and we were the highest bidder!" Charles Bockwith
"We LOVE it! It's the best plan in Salt Lake City. It gives us a major competitive edge!" Christine Weaver, Salt Lake City, UT
Lastly, this program is true group health insurance. This program was designed specifically for temporary employees and how they work. It is very affordable, has a true $15 co-pay, Rx benefits, wellness benefits - the works! It has the largest independent PPO network in the country; finding a doctor is not a problem. It even pays the same high percentage of coinsurance if an employee happens to go out of network.
We are very excited with this new COATS relationship. As ever, they continue to offer outstanding service to their clients. This Integrated Partnership is simply their latest commitment to serve their clients and their ever changing needs.
