Group & Voluntary Benefits

Smart protection for your people. Flexible options for your business.

At Jormungandr, we help employers offer meaningful insurance benefits that support their workforce — without breaking the budget. Our group and voluntary benefit solutions are built for flexibility, affordability, and long-term value.

What Are

Group Benefits?

Group benefits are core insurance plans provided by the employer. These benefits offer coverage to all eligible employees — often at a lower cost than individual insurance.

Common group benefits include:

  • Health insurance
  • Dental and vision plans
  • Life insurance
  • Short- and long-term disability

These foundational benefits help employees stay healthy, protected, and financially secure — while strengthening your overall compensation package.

What Are

Voluntary Benefits?

Voluntary benefits are optional plans offered through the employer but paid by the employee through convenient payroll deductions.

Popular voluntary benefits include:

  • Accident insurance
  • Critical illness coverage
  • Supplemental life insurance
  • Hospital indemnity and income protection

These benefits fill gaps that traditional health insurance might not cover — helping employees customize their protection with flexible, affordable options.

Why

Employers Offer Them

Benefits for Your Business:

  • Recruit and retain top talent
  • Improve morale, satisfaction, and productivity
  • Offer more coverage with minimal cost
  • Compete with larger companies without expanding your benefits budget

Offering voluntary benefits shows you’re invested in your team — and gives your workforce real value without added administrative strain.

Why

Employees Value Them

Benefits for Your Team:

  • Affordable coverage through group rates
  • Convenient payroll deductions
  • Financial protection for unexpected events
  • Flexible options tailored to personal needs

Voluntary benefits give employees access to insurance they might not be able to get on their own — with lower costs and less hassle.

Common Myths — Debunked

Still on the fence about offering more benefits? Here’s what many employers and employees get wrong — and what’s really true.

False: Small and mid-sized businesses can offer strong benefit packages by combining group and voluntary options. Voluntary benefits are typically employee-paid, making them low-cost for employers.

False: Today’s workforce wants flexibility. When benefits are communicated clearly and priced right, participation goes up.

False: Health insurance doesn’t cover everything. Supplemental benefits like accident and disability insurance help cover out-of-pocket costs and income loss.

False: Most plans are easy to implement with modern tools and carrier support — with minimal effort from your HR team.

False: Many employees value the chance to access discounted coverage they can’t find on their own — especially with payroll deduction and group pricing.

False: Low participation often comes from lack of trust or communication — not lack of interest. Employees want to know the provider or agency will be there long-term. Consistency, clarity, and follow-up build confidence and boost engagement.
