Decisely, a leading provider of integrated HR, benefits, and compliance solutions for small and mid-sized businesses, has released a new whitepaper, Benefits Matter, demonstrating the impact of employee benefits on retention in high-turnover industries. The analysis shows that full-time employees with access to benefits remain in their roles an average of 30 months, compared to 14 months for those without.

Retention Impact by Industry (Benefits vs. No Benefits)

• Quick Service Restaurants: 49 months vs. 27 months
• Logistics & Transportation: 20 months vs. 10 months
• Hospitality: 51 months vs. 27 months
• Automotive Repair: 20 months longer on average

“Benefits are not just an add-on, they are a core part of how small businesses attract and keep the people they rely on,” said Chris Covill, EVP, Chief Growth Officer at Decisely. “This research helps employers see, in real numbers, how offering benefits can improve stability across their workforce.”

Through offerings like Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA), level-funded, and captive group plans, Decisely offers employers flexible and affordable ways to provide benefits. Its integrated platform brings payroll, benefits administration, onboarding, and compliance together in one system, helping small businesses manage costs while supporting their teams.
