Five Ways That Your Benefits Package Can Cost You Workers

Is Your Benefits Plan Pushing Workers Away? Here are Five Things to Watch For.

Get Health and Ancillary Benefits That Work as Hard as Your Crew 

Employee benefits aren’t just table stakes.  They’re a big part of what attracts and keeps talent. CDL drivers, rig hands, and operators are looking for stability, not just a paycheck. And when your coverage falls short, so does your retention.

Not only that, but job satisfaction for you and your staff can take a hit when insurance issues hinder your day-to-day schedule. It’s hard to walk through benefits plans when there’s equipment to maintain, schedules to keep or clients to call.

At Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND), we understand what makes the oil patch work – and how benefits can either help or hurt your business. That’s why BCBSND and Azurance Group offer health and ancillary packages built specifically for tough industries like yours.

Are these issues affecting your crew?

1. Lack of Trust in Coverage
When workers have hassles using their benefits, they may start to look elsewhere. BCBSND plans offer local access, virtual care, and nationwide BlueCard support—so your crew is covered locally, and wherever they travel.

2. No Backup for Accidents
Injuries happen—and demands are often outside what workers’ comp covers. With accident benefits from Azurance Group, your people stay protected even when the unexpected hits.

3. No Plan for the “What If”
Life insurance matters. Offering coverage through Azurance Group tells your team you’re thinking of their families, too.

4. Too Many Headaches Make the “Benefits” Hard to See
Complicated benefits frustrate everyone. We make things easier—handling claims, comparisons, enrollment and renewals—so you can focus on the field, not the paperwork.

5. No One to Call When It Counts
Forget call centers. With BCBSND and Azurance Group, you get real, local support from people who understand your business and value your time.

The Full Package: Health + Ancillary Benefits

BCBSND’s health plans are made for rural access, with local provider partnerships, virtual care options and BlueCard national access. When you pair those plans with ancillary options from Azurance Group creates a full benefit package that covers:

• Accidents in the field that workers’ comp doesn’t catch.
• Disability that bridges the gap during recovery.
• Life insurance that helps families plan for the unexpected.

It's all backed by a local team that gets your business—with no runaround. Just real people helping you get the job done.
