Providing a “choice of benefits that meet their needs is extremely important for creating loyalty” among 41 percent of Gen Y and 40 percent of Gen X employees, along with 30 percent of younger boomers and 31 percent of older boomers. This info comes from a MetLife study, their 9th annual "Study of Employee Benefit Trends: A Blueprint for the New Benefits Economy". The study also revealed that 64 percent of Gen Y (age 21 to 29), 66 percent of Gen X (age 30 to 45), 62 percent of “younger boomers” (age 45 to 54) and 66 percent of “older boomers” (age 55 to 65) understand that comparable products outside the workplace cost more and they are willing to contribute to the cost of those personalized core benefits.
Across the board, employees in all age groups hold favorable views of voluntary benefits:
- 64% of Gen Y (age 21-29), 66% of Gen X (age 30-45), 62% of "younger boomers" (age 45-54) and 66% of "older boomers" (age 55-65) understand that comparable products outside the workplace cost more.
- 57% of Gen Y, 66% of Gen X , 59% of younger boomers and 61% of older boomers are more likely to choose benefits that meet their personal needs.
- 63% of Gen Y, 67% of Gen X, 64% of younger boomers and 68% of older boomers understand that buying through the workplace is convenient and saves time.
Moreover, having this choice boosts loyalty to the employer, especially for younger workers: 41% of Gen Y workers and 40% of Gen X employees said that a choice of benefits that meet their needs is "extremely important," along with 30% of younger boomers and 34% of older boomers.
Increased Choice + Cost Avoidance
Many nontraditional voluntary benefits provide employees with tangible benefits, which further increase their appeal as they can be used year round to obtain something that an employee needs, rather than the traditional core benefits that employees only utilize when they are sick or injured. Our benefit solutions can add nontraditional choices to your voluntary and standard benefit offerings. You can offer wider choice, avoid costs and preserve or increase affordability, all at the same time. Let us show you how.
