What kind of workplace changes and worker benefits do the grants offer?
Each grantee is offering slightly different benefits and making different workplace changes. Six grantees are offering some kind of health insurance/ health care coverage benefit such as participation in state-funded health insurance programs, subsidized Health Reimbursement Accounts, or cafeteria-style plans where workers can choose to spend a cash allotment on health care or other services. Other benefits (interventions) being offered include enhanced worker and supervisory training, apprenticeship programs, peer mentorship, career ladders, professional development opportunities, worker registries, worker back-up pools, and employee assistance programs.
