Case Study: SPOON Foundation achieves affordable, flexible defined-contribution healthcare for better recruitment and retention with PeopleKeep

For Recruitment and Retention, SPOON Offers Defined Contribution Healthcare

SPOON Foundation, a Portland-based non-profit focused on child nutrition, needed an affordable, flexible health benefits solution to improve recruitment and retention. To meet that need, SPOON partnered with PeopleKeep to implement a defined contribution health benefits program that lets employees choose individual plans and receive tax-free reimbursements for premiums.

PeopleKeep’s defined contribution approach gave SPOON an affordable, competitive alternative to traditional group insurance that can scale as the organization grows. The PeopleKeep solution produced measurable results: a cost-effective benefits structure, increased employee flexibility and competitiveness of the benefits package, and the ability to expand options without involving a group insurer.
