In a December survey of nearly 1,500 U.S. workers, 86% say it is important to be able to customize all their benefits to fit their individual lifestyle. Seventy-six percent of those surveyed by TNS Omnibus say it’s important for them to design their own disability insurance instead of one-size-fits-all coverage chosen by an employer, and 82% claim they would likely sign up for a disability plan that allows them the chance to choose the size of their payments.
Women and younger workers were particularly likely to favor customizable benefits. Only half of men, but 56% of women, agree that it is extremely or very important to be able to customize benefit choices to fit their lifestyle. Americans in their 40s are more likely to value the option than older worker, and millenials are more likely than any older group to say personalization is important.
