Workforce & Benefits

: Workforce & Benefits

Small businesses rely on their ability to attract and retain qualified employees to compete with their larger competitors. To do so, small businesses require access to affordable benefit plans, including paid family and medical leave, childcare, and retirement, to ensure that Main Street jobs are quality jobs. Given the cost and administrative requirements of providing attractive and robust employee benefit plans, many small businesses simply do not have the capital or resources to offer these benefits, which ultimately restricts their ability to hire and retain workers.
