The annual MetLife Study of Employee Benefits Trends which tracks major trends and attitudes on the subject of employee benefits was recently released and it has a good news/bad news message for employers.
First the good news: It seems the turbulent economy, while bad for just about everything else, is actually good for benefits. Nearly two-thirds of employers – across all sizes of companies, see economic conditions as a catalyst for increasing employee dependence on benefits. And they also recognize that this creates greater opportunity for benefits to drive business objectives.
