Contractors are integral to your workforce, bringing essential skills and quickly adapting to projects. They are invaluable, especially when expanding your business to new markets. Contractor benefits can be complex, posing a potential misclassification risk if not evaluated properly, which is also why most employers move away from offering benefits to their contractor workforce.
Remote’s partnership with SafetyWing addresses this challenge by offering contractors access to essential health benefits at discounted prices. This partnership ensures that your contractors feel valued and supported, regardless of their location.
Access to essential benefits should not be dependent on anything, let alone location. Through this partnership, Remote is making benefits accessible to contractors regardless of their location.
Contractors are business owners themselves. By taking one task off their plate, you're not only making them feel valued and supported but also creating a level playing field within your organization, ensuring you build the best remote team possible.
Benefits create a sense of security and peace of mind for everyone. Remote’s partnership with Safety Wing provides health coverage, ensuring contractors can focus on their work without worrying about unexpected medical costs.
Contractors can choose from four SafetyWing plans – Standard, Essential, Premium, and Premium Plus – at discounted rates based on their country of residence and other demographics. These plans cater to different needs and regions, providing tailored support.
Retaining top talent is everything. By offering benefits, you show that you care. This support can lead to increased loyalty and dedication, ensuring a stable and reliable remote team.
