The Benefit of Health Insurance for Commercial Cleaning Service Staffs

Among different employee benefit packages, health insurance is a priority of most low-waged workers in the commercial cleaning service industry.

Brisbane, QLD, Australia (prHWY.com) October 4, 2012 - People find numerous ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid getting sick and incur costly hospital bills. Health care is expensive, and not all workers with blue collar jobs can afford primary health care services. Workers rendering different office cleaning services have lower wages compared to employees with white collar jobs. Since health insurance is an added benefit and not a requirement, some companies do not include this in their employee package. Companies who avail of health insurance policies will pay whole or partial of the insurance premium. Occupational workers like office cleaning service staffs do labour intensive jobs. They get exposed to different chemical agents and machineries everyday. Over-exposure to chemicals may cause health risks. Machineries also pose mechanical hazards. People cannot predict when sickness, disease, and accidents happen. When misfortunes strike, uninsured workers will avail low quality medical services. People who receive less health care are more likely to develop chronic illnesses.

Surveys showed many low-waged workers such as those providing office cleaning services, prefer not to avail health insurance. Insurance premiums deduct a large share from their income. Although the government provides a universal health insurance system to the public, this is not enough to cover costly medical expenses. Commercial cleaning service companies who offer reasonable health insurance plans to their employees retain more healthy and productive workers. Providing health insurance attracts more qualified job applicants too. Some workers even accept jobs with low salaries as long as the company provides comprehensive health insurance coverage. Compensation is an essential factor in any company, but providing accessible health care benefits for all employees will reduce serious financial stress to many low-waged workers.
