Open enrollment for health benefits is underway for many companies and it will continue through the end of the year. And while this is a key time for employees as they enroll in benefits that will protect their health, their finances, and keep their families secure for the coming year, it is also a crucial opportunity for employers to positively position themselves with top talent. Increasingly, employers are using their benefits package as a tool and differentiator for talent acquisition and retention.
Consider a recent MetLife survey that explores what the insurer describes as a “new age of benefits”. The survey found that:
* 61 percent of employees say they are more likely to accept a job that offers health and well-being benefits
* 59 percent say health benefits would make them more loyal
* 51 percent say they are more likely to accept an offer that comes with financial benefits
* 53 percent say they would be more loyal to a job that has benefits that help them get their finances in order
