Open Enrollment is the time of year you can enroll in individual health plans and group plans (without meeting carrier participation requirements). It's a great opportunity to access health care. It's important to take time to ensure you avoid mistakes.

Providing employees with access to a workout facility shows a commitment to wellness. As such, many employers offer gym memberships as part of their employee benefits. However, every employee is unique and their preference for physical activity varies. There isn’t a “one size fits all” way to provide workout options….or is there?
 
Introducing Peerfit! A unique way to provide employees access to the physical activity of their choice! With Peerfit, a company can provide every employee with access to multiple workout facilities, so employees can personalize their fitness benefit. Better yet, the company only pays for the activities/classes that an employee participates in, which can help reduce unnecessary expenses.
 
Employee Benefits can include more than insurance. If you’ve been looking for a unique benefit to add to your benefit package you need to check out Peerfit!

Get your fitness on!
