Employers across the United States are committed to helping protect their employees’ health and financial security. They are offering more benefits than ever before and are continuing to cover an average of 80% of healthcare premium costs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many are also paying for portions of dental, vision, and other insurance coverages.
Not only is this the right thing to do, it’s good for business: Research shows that offering a comprehensive benefits package to employees helps with talent attraction, retention, employee health and overall employee satisfaction with their employer. And, nearly two-thirds of business owners surveyed in the Principal Business Owner Insights say they want to offer more benefits to employees.
