If employers rely on benefits to attract employees, what is it about the benefits that are attractive? Essentially, alleviating the financial stress people may feel, coming from a variety of sources. Is that working? According to the recent MetLife survey, only 64% of employees agree. With companies of less than 100 employees, that number plummets to 47%. Surveyed further, the number of employees who agree with the statement “I am interested in having my employer provide a wider array of non-medical benefits I can choose to purchase and pay for on my own,” the number stratified by the length of employment. Among those with less than five years in the workforce, 73% agreed. For those with 5 to 10 years it was 69% and it only drops to 66% for those with 10 to 15 years in the workforce.
