Gain a competitive advantage by optimizing workers’ benefits

Percentage of workers who would be willing to switch jobs for better benefits

For instance, nearly half of workers say they would consider taking a new job for its education or wellness benefits

Seven in ten workers would be willing to switch jobs for better benefits

Weak benefits are deal breakers. Workers cite widespread concerns about the adequacy and quality of their benefits.

• 50% of full-time workers are not confident they can afford the healthcare their family needs
• 57% do not believe they will be able to retire on time

The cookie cutter approach is a mistake; benefits offer an opportunity to differentiate yourself from competitors. By getting creative and looking to fill real-world gaps faced by workers, organizations can capitalize on fresh opportunities to attract and retain top talent.

Poor implementation discourages workers from using benefits

• 80% say their company's culture does not encourage taking time off
• 70% cite gaps in the usefulness of their education and training benefits

Two-thirds of workers say their organizations don't do enough to tout, explain or innovate, so benefits go unused

As a result, businesses leave money on the table by paying for benefits that go unused. Businesses make a significant investment in benefit plans, but optimizing those benefits requires more than checking a box. Strategic communication and creative implementation are crucial to maximizing a return on this investment.

Communication is lacking in both directions

• 60% of workers say that their organization's communication about benefits needs improvement
• 70% say opportunities to provide feedback could be better
