Human Workplace Index – The Future of Employee Benefits

The Workhuman® Human Workplace Index monthly survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. workers found that 66% of respondents are waiting to review their company’s new benefits offering before making a decision about staying at or leaving their job. Salary and health insurance were the most important factors to employees. The survey also found that 71% of respondents reported staying at their current job because of benefits, but only 42% were "very satisfied" with their current benefits package. Employers should reassess their employee benefits to ensure they work for everyone. Mental health benefits are increasingly important to employees, as 73% of employees surveyed believe the importance of mental health benefits has changed since the pandemic started. Only 57% of respondents feel "very valued" by their employer, and employers should prioritize family coverage, premium health insurance, and mental health offerings to show employees how much they value them.
