Are Your Office Snacks Healthy?

Make these simple swaps in your office for a healthy and nutritious snack.

Each business should take active steps in setting their employees up for success. From training to materials, to allowing the right breaks, employees are entitled to get set up to do their job to the best of their abilities.

Thus, if you’re supplying your staff with junk food and sugar, this will stunt and inhibit their cognitive function to do their job at the best efficiency. Here are some simple snack swaps that your office needs to make today!

Donate or throw away:

  • Sugary drinks – Full of chemicals that don’t benefit your body at all, these bottles of pop belong in the trash.
  • Donuts – With no nutritional value, skip the box of donuts for a piece of fruit!
  • Chocolate and sweets – After a sugar rush of a chocolate bar or a bag of candy, your employees will come down from the high feeling lethargic and sluggish.

Replace with:

  • Bottled water – everyone needs hydration!
  • Almonds – great source of protein and is extremely sustaining.
  • Fresh fruit – packed with vitamins and minerals, these sweet beauties will keep your employees satisfied.
  • Dried fruit – mix things up with dried apricots, apple slices, and banana chips. They are sweet, high in fiber, and high in potassium.
  • Protein bar – stock up on only the natural bars that have fewer than 200 calories.
  • Pretzels – salty, low in fat, and will hold any employee over until lunch or dinner.
  • Frozen banana – a medium-sized banana contains the needed amount of glucose for optimum brain function.
  • Apples and peanut butter – apples provide fiber and carbs for energy while the peanut butter provides healthy monounsaturated fat and protein, which stabilizes blood sugar ups and downs.

Now that your team is geared up for success, don’t let a lawsuit, accident or financial set back stand in your businesses way! Contact All Nevada Insurance, serving all areas of Las Vegas, Nevada, for all of your commercial insurance needs.

Benefits to Keep Your Employees Happy!

Posted on by TheSph3r3

Job satisfaction can benefit your employees and business!

Many employers recognize the importance of job satisfaction when it comes to finding (and retaining!) talented workers.

Competitive salaries, compelling work, and a positive work environment are big drivers of the happiness factor, but benefits take the cake when it comes to retaining employees. When an individual is wrestling with the decision between two jobs, they’re more likely to take the job with benefits that can aid themselves and their family. Hence, offering strong benefits as well as voluntary benefits can be the difference between recruiting a key member of staff and losing them to your competition.

If you’ve found a great team and hit reliable finances, finding the best benefits for your company’s niche will only strengthen your business.

The Basics:
As a general consensus, to attract and retain talent, entrepreneurs should offer health insurance, some life and disability insurance, and probably a retirement savings plan. In addition, dental and vision coverage should usually be included as the cost is low but the payoff for the employees is high. All of these coverages are valued by employees!

The Most Sought-After Benefits:

  • Healthcare
  • Retirement
  • Paid time off
  • Wellness programs
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Flexible and family-friendly schedules
  • Pay raise or performance bonuses available
  • Life insurance
  • Telecommuting
  • Workplace perks (snacks, paid lunches, ping pong table, pool table, couches/outdoor working spaces)
  • Professional development and training

While all of these, especially specialty benefits, may not be attainable for your company to provide, they can help your business to become an Employer of Choice. If you’re not sure where to start, ask your employees what they value in benefits and compensation. The answer might surprise you!

If you’re looking to trim down after the indulgences of Christmas and the holidays, soup is a classic dish to turn to! Not only is this garden vegetable soup vegetarian, but it’s packed full of nutrients, boasts warmth, and offers leftovers that will see you throughout the week!

Throw together this perfect midweek soup tonight:

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped leeks, white part only (from approximately 3 medium leeks)
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
  • 2 cups carrots, peeled and chopped into rounds (approximately 2 medium)
  • 2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, broken or cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 quarts chicken or vegetable broth
  • 4 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
  • 2 ears corn, kernels removed

Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the leeks, garlic, and a pinch of salt. They should soften after approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, and green beans and continue to cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Perform Your Annual Insurance Review

Posted on by TheSph3r3

Checking your coverage and updating your policies are a must-do!

Welcome to 2016! Now that the new year is here, it’s time to do some reorganizing, restocking, and reviewing! While many people have put ‘save money’, ‘lose weight’, or ‘work less’ on the top of their New Year’s Resolution list, the most looming task is often forgotten about: reviewing insurance policies.

It’s easy (sometimes a little too easy) to fall into complacency when it comes to your insurance coverage. After all, it’s easier to renew than review.

To get into the habit of doing an annual checkup, schedule it for the beginning of the year as it marks a fresh start and the means to continue! Not only does reviewing mean you are finding the best rate for your policy, but it’ll highlight gaps in coverage, missing discounts you’re eligible for, and coverage for additional items.

Additions
Have you converted the barn into a bedroom? Did you receive a high-value piece of jewelry under the tree at Christmas? Is your teenager about to start learning to drive? Any new additions to your home, car, or possessions, should be covered.

A new pool or a renovated kitchen requires your homeowners insurance policy to be updated. As your policy covers expenses to rebuild your home today, if the value of your home increases, your insurance needs to, too. Furthermore, a new pool or hot tub increases your liability risk of someone injuring themselves and filing a lawsuit against you. This requires additional coverage.

Similarly, home possessions will be covered by homeowners insurance, up to a certain limit. If your expensive TV, family heirloom or sporting equipment exceed this limit, additional personal property coverage must be attained in order for these pieces to be protected.

If you’re driving more miles each day, your auto insurance should be updated. If your teenager is about to learn to drive, he or she will need to be added to your policy!

Discounts
Small changes such as adding a home burglar system to your house may allow you to receive a discount on your homeowners insurance! You may be eligible for substantial discounts on your life insurance if you quit smoking! Review your policy to see where you could be saving!
Are you ready for an overhaul of your policies? Contact All Nevada Insurance for all of your Las Vegas, Nevada quality insurance needs!

Flying This Holiday? Buy Baggage Coverage

Posted on by TheSph3r3

Avoid a holiday mishap of destroyed or lost luggage.

The festive season is here! If you’re traveling or flying over the holidays, you’ll have a lot of think about! During the midst of shopping, flight organizing, and present packing, and securing your home for your departure, your precious belongings that are traveling with you are often forgotten about.

There is no quicker way to spoil your present surprises than finding out that it’s been destroyed in transit, or that the airline has lost your luggage entirely. Unfortunately, the occurrence of these situations increase over the holidays as more people are flying, more flights are taking off, and extra luggage is checked in on board.

What You Don’t Know
Most travelers assume that the airline will reimburse them if their baggage is permanently lost or destroyed in flight. The reality of this is that the airlines assert strong limits on their liability for lost or damaged checked luggage. From the airline taking weeks (or months) to admit the bag is lost, to each carrier maintaining a long list of items that they won’t cover at all, you may never receive compensation from airlines.

In any case, baggage insurance is a worthy investment when traveling – especially during peak times, a.k.a. the holidays!

What You Should Know
Baggage insurance is intended to provide replacement value (up to certain limits) for baggage that is lost, stolen, or destroyed during your trip, not just on the flight. It should be noted that expensive items just as high-end jewelry, furs, cameras, and sporting equipment should be covered by a homeowners insurance policy.

A travel plan with baggage coverage provides the best protection for your bag, personal items, and souvenirs, so you and your family needn’t face loss over Christmas!

Are you ready to have the protection that your presents need for this gift-giving season? Contact All Nevada Insurance in Las Vegas, Nevada for all of your quality insurance needs!
