We also benchmark and refresh our benefits package annually to ensure we’re offering competitive, cost-effective benefits and meeting the needs of our diverse workforce. When it comes to health plans, our consumer-directed health plan is a market leader, as we provide up to $2,200 annually (depending on your coverage level) into the Health Savings Accounts of employees. To help employees save for retirement, we offer a 403(b) plan with a match on employee contributions and a 401(a) plan that is funded entirely by Akron Children’s Hospital.
