What is your company paying attention to? Culture or compliance? Is your focus on numbers or people? Contractors should be asking the question and taking a look at the direction of their attention and efforts. Of course, we must comply with regulatory mandates. But is that enough to ensure that our employees return home to their loved ones at the end of every shift? In the construction industry, the answer is a resounding “no.”

@thegrahamco Join us in observing UV Safety Awareness Month and reminding ourselves about how important it is to protect our eyes and skin from the side effects of UV rays. While it’s not always possible to avoid sunlight completely, it is possible to stay safe in the sun by being prepared and educated about the risks of UV exposure. The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) and the Environmental Protection Agency have developed the UV Index, which gives you an idea of how strong the UV light is in your area on any given day, on a scale from 1 to 11+. A higher number means greater risk of exposure to UV rays and a higher chance of sunburn and skin damage that could ultimately lead to skin cancer.

Join our top industry professionals by keeping up to-date with the emerging trends and latest tips on balancing costs and employee needs.
@thegrahamco Recognizing that caring for a spouse or family member with a debilitating illness or injury can be costly, nearly 20 states are considering ways to make some form of long-term care (LTC) coverage mandatory. The numbers are staggering. The average cost in the United States for one month of nursing home care is $7,698. Annuities and traditional life or health insurance policies are not designed to cover LTC costs. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates the cost for care in the final five years of life at $367,000 for people with dementia and $234,000 for those without. While long-term care (LTC) insurance can pay for the care needed to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), a life-LTC hybrid policy can provide truly comprehensive coverage. Explore our latest blog article from our own Doug Easlick, Employee Benefits Consultant, to discover why states are taking action and what a life-LTC hybrid policy can do.
@thegrahamco Balancing costs and employee needs can at times feel like walking a tight rope. Using the P²RIME® process, we’ll help you build a comprehensive employee benefits strategy that includes: ▪️ Tools to help you prepare and plan ▪️ Methods to recruit and retain top talent ▪️ Innovative solutions that enhance employee experience ▪️ Tactics to manage costs and risk ▪️ Continuous education of new strategies to engage your employee With P²RIME®, we’ll help you develop a customized benefits strategy and program that meets your employees’ needs so that you can recruit and retain top talent, while managing costs and aligning to your vision and values.

I-95 in northeast Philadelphia was shut down on June 11 after a tanker truck crash and fire caused a portion of the highway bridge to collapse and damaged other sections of the road.
