Company health insurance plans

It's the end of the year and it is time to renew the company's health insurance plan, as well as look at the other benefits the company offers. While employee morale is not low, the owners feel that it could be improved if they offer better benefits. They also believe that they will be able to hire more competitively in the future if their benefits package is more up-to-date.

The company currently offers the following benefits package to its employees:
- HMO Health Insurance Plan for medical coverage (but not dental) paid in full by the employer.
- Vacation Plan. One week per year for employees with up to 5 years of service; two weeks per year for employees with service of 5 to 9 years, and 3 weeks for 10 years or more.
- Sick Time. 7 days of sick time per year per employee
- Paid Holidays. 4 paid holidays (New Years Day, July 4, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day).
- Employee Bonus Plan; company pays a share of the profits once a year to each employee in the amount of $1500 per employee each year.

For each benefit that I propose, I need help with justifying its existence; what is it going to provide the company compared to what it will cost the company? How will you allocate the money across the widest array of benefits? Which benefits are most important to your employees? If you feel that you need more money for benefits, explain how much and justify why. Be thorough and convincing. The list below shows a variety of benefits and their costs that could be added if you desired.
