Today’s workforce—especially younger professionals—values benefits that go beyond the basics. Modern perks like pet insurance, legal protection, and mental health support show employees that their employer cares about their whole life, not just their health. These specialty benefits are surprisingly affordable, often available as voluntary add-ons that cost employers little to nothing, while still providing enormous perceived value. At Benni, we make it easy to add these perks through our free administration platform, helping small and mid-sized employers compete for talent with the kinds of benefits that speak directly to a modern workforce.
Pet Insurance
For many employees, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. Veterinary care, however, can be costly, and unexpected bills cause real stress. Pet insurance helps employees afford routine care, emergencies, and even specialty treatments for their furry companions. At Benni, we make pet insurance available as a voluntary perk that is both affordable and meaningful. Unlike agencies that overlook it, we highlight pet insurance as a modern benefit that shows empathy and understanding. For employers, it’s a low-cost way to connect with employees emotionally; for employees, it’s reassurance that their loved ones—four-legged or not—are cared for.
Tuned Hearing Health
Benni’s partnership with Tuned introduces a modern hearing health benefit that supports employees at every stage from early detection to treatment and long-term protection. The program combines quick virtual screenings, access to licensed audiologists, and personalized recommendations to make hearing care simple, accessible, and proactive. It also includes a wide range of solutions such as hearing aids, tinnitus support, and protective devices, helping employees improve overall well-being and quality of life.
For employers, Tuned adds a unique, high-value layer to a benefits strategy without adding complexity. The program is easy to implement and integrates seamlessly alongside other offerings, giving businesses a way to enhance their benefits package with meaningful, everyday health support. It reflects Benni’s approach to delivering innovative, technology-driven solutions that provide real value to both employers and their teams.
Travel Medical Insurance
In an increasingly mobile workforce, employees—especially younger professionals—value the freedom to travel while staying protected. Travel medical insurance provides coverage for emergencies, hospital stays, and medical evacuations abroad. At Benni, we offer affordable travel medical options that are easy to enroll in and manage. For employers, it’s a perk that adds prestige to your benefits package without adding significant cost; for employees, it’s peace of mind when exploring the world. Unlike traditional agencies that rarely address travel needs, we make global coverage part of our forward-thinking approach.
International Health Insurance (Expat Coverage)
For employees working overseas or relocating internationally, expat coverage ensures they’re never without access to quality healthcare. International health insurance provides protection across borders, making it a valuable option for globally minded employers. At Benni, we integrate expat coverage into our platform, so even small employers can offer it without complexity. While most agencies limit these solutions to large corporations, we make them affordable and accessible, helping businesses of all sizes support employees wherever they go. Brokers gain a competitive edge by being able to offer international solutions to clients who never thought it was possible.
Telemental Health
Benni’s partnership with Mindstream delivers a modern mental health and employee wellness benefit designed to proactively support emotional wellbeing, productivity, and retention. Unlike traditional solutions that react after issues arise, Mindstream focuses on prevention through a digital platform offering expert-led sessions on stress management, mindfulness, leadership, work-life balance, and more. Employees can access personalized, on-demand content that fits into their daily routines, helping them build emotional strength and improve performance both at work and in life.
As part of a comprehensive employee benefits and HR platform strategy, Mindstream integrates seamlessly into an employer’s overall benefits offering. The platform provides unlimited access to sessions, ongoing content updates, and tools that encourage engagement and continuous improvement, including progress tracking and goal-based learning. This creates a scalable, easy-to-implement solution that enhances employee benefits programs, strengthens workplace culture, and supports long-term employee wellbeing without adding administrative complexity.
Dental Savings Plan (Alternative To Insurance)
Not every employer wants to offer full dental insurance, but employees still need affordable access to care. Dental savings plans provide discounts on cleanings, exams, and procedures at participating providers, often at a fraction of the cost of traditional insurance. At Benni, we position dental savings plans as a modern, budget-friendly alternative that appeals to small employers and younger workers alike. Unlike agencies that only push full insurance products, we give employers the flexibility to offer savings plans that employees can use right away. It’s an affordable way to add real value without straining budgets
