Election 2024

Employers and employees are gearing up for a contentious election season, and they have a lot of questions to sort through over the coming months. From reproductive rights and anti-DEI impacting workplace inclusivity, to student debt and other financial concerns hurting an employee's bottom line, EBN will be following election updates closely over the coming months, and has a wealth of resources at the ready to help organizations navigate many of these topics today.


What benefits professionals think about the election

According to exclusive research conducted by Employee Benefit News' parent company, Arizent, 71% of survey respondents in a variety of professional services industries said they are very dissatisfied with the current political climate, while just 1% said they were very satisfied. There are a few hot topics that will impact employers and employees alike, depending on who takes the White House in November. Our data found that 20% of employers think reproductive rights in the wake of Roe v. Wade is the most urgent issue for the next administration and Congress to address, while financial issues like the economy and economic inequality were a top concern for 46% and 16% of those surveyed, respectively.
