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.
Legal Insurance
Life comes with challenges, from writing a will to handling landlord disputes or traffic tickets. Legal insurance gives employees affordable access to attorneys for common legal needs, helping them save money and reduce stress. At Benni, we make legal insurance simple to add as a perk that’s high in value but low in cost, especially for younger employees building their financial foundations. Unlike agencies that focus only on health-related benefits, we integrate legal insurance as part of a total lifestyle package, strengthening retention and loyalty.
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.
Telepsychiatry & Mental Health Programs
Younger generations are placing a higher priority on mental health than ever before, and employers who respond stand out in the talent market. Telepsychiatry and digital mental health programs give employees immediate access to licensed professionals for counseling, therapy, and medication management—all from the privacy of home. At Benni, we make these services simple and affordable, often available at little or no cost to employers. Unlike traditional agencies that treat mental health as a secondary add-on, we highlight it as an essential benefit that improves productivity, reduces absenteeism, and shows employees that their employer truly cares. For employers, it’s a budget-friendly way to support well-being; for employees, it’s life-changing access to care when it’s needed most.
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
