IDEA employees enjoy generous paid time off and family leave benefits that enable personal and professional balance and flexibility.
IDEA employees are offered medical, dental, and vision insurance options varying in plan design, networks, and availability. Each option is orchestrated to meet the unique needs of our staff members and their dependents. Additionally, IDEA contributes towards the cost of medical coverage each month to help our staff members save money.
We care about our people! For that reason, we promote self-care and provide instrumental resources that support our staff member’s overall health. Through our wellness-focused tools, employees can activate their health and feel empowered to live a healthier lifestyle!
Our benefits program includes a plethora of supplemental plan options that support the financial solvency of our staff members and their families. Each plan option is uniquely designed to save or protect staff members from financial exposure.
Our Financial Wellness Program focuses on educating our staff members on personal financial stewardship, providing resources to support their financial health, and ensuring they are well-prepared to reach their retirement goals.
An important part of the IDEA benefits package is financial support that allows for pre-tax savings on some of the most burdensome life expenses, as well as discounts at the places our employees often shop.
