New research from Metlife spotlights a disconnect between the perceptions of voluntary benefits held by employers and employees. About 52% of employees said they were interested in a wider array of voluntary benefits, but only 43% of employers believed their employees felt that way, says Dr. Ronald S. Leopold, national medical director and vice president, U.S. business, at MetLife.
Leopold unveiled findings from MetLife’s 9th annual “Study of Employee Benefit Trends: A Blueprint for the New Benefits Economy,” at the firm’s National Benefits Symposium in Washington DC March 28.
