Omaha punches above its weight as a corporate headquarters city, home to Berkshire Hathaway, Mutual of Omaha, Union Pacific, and several other Fortune 500 companies. These major employers drive benefits expectations well above what the city's size might suggest.

Benefits in Omaha

Omaha is home to more Fortune 500 companies per capita than most major metros, including Berkshire Hathaway, Mutual of Omaha, Union Pacific, and TD Ameritrade. These employers offer premium benefits packages that set the standard for the market. The very affordable cost of living means employer benefits budgets go further. Nebraska has minimal mandated benefits, but competitive pressure from major employers drives strong voluntary offerings across the metro.

Local Healthcare Market

Nebraska Medicine, CHI Health, Methodist Health System, and Boys Town National Research Hospital serve the Omaha market. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska and Mutual of Omaha (locally headquartered) are the leading group carriers, with UnitedHealthcare also active. Mutual of Omaha's local presence creates strong group product offerings and competitive pricing.
