Why Employers Should Offer Virtual Care to All Workers

In 2020, 88% of full-time workers had access to healthcare benefits compared to 24% of part-time workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). While it’s understandable employers would want to limit their expenses (workforce spending amounts to an average of 57% of total operating costs for S&P 500 companies), employers should consider broadening virtual healthcare offerings to include every employee, regardless of whether they work part-time, full-time or seasonally.
