I don't think it should be the companies job, but I would be ok with it being paid for by taxes companies pay.

Requiring companies to do all of these extra things just gives larger companies more and more advantages, since they have an economy of scale to provide go government-type services.

I don't want my company to be in charge of my whole life. Let them pay taxes to a government that can provide those things equally for everyone.

What's the difference in it being a responsibility of the company and it being a program paid for by races paid by companies?

I mean this as a genuine question, in case that isn't clear. To me the latter is just socializing the cost across multiple companies, but I'm happy to be wrong here.

Unemployment taxes/benefits are largely like that. And they are experience rated, so high risk pay more.
