Bruce Hentschel: 4 Important Employer Benefits Trends

1. Priorities - Cost isn’t the first or even second priority among most employers. The first is attracting and retaining employees, and ranking at second is providing a competitive benefit package
2. Benefits - Medical isn’t the most commonly offered benefit, nor is it the second or even third. Life is highest, with 60 percent of employers offering it – then dental, LTD and finally, medical
3. Size - Micro employers (under 10 lives) are focused on providing benefits that employees can use or that help their employees maintain their physical and/or financial well-being
4. Industry - Employers in the healthcare and manufacturing industries are more interested in controlling costs than those in other industries
