New research on views of 2,000 employees on their perceptions and preferences around health and wellness benefits

Americans highly value and depend on their employee benefits — health insurance in particular — but lack the savvy and initiative to ask doctors, “How much will it cost?” That question could mean the difference in thousands of dollars for consumers, and millions for U.S. companies. 

These are among the findings from a recent national survey of more than 2,000 employees, led by Benz Communications, a marketing firm that specializes in employee benefits, and Quantum Workplace, a leading technology firm focused on employee satisfaction and engagement surveys.

The goal was to get clear, actionable data for U.S. companies on how to improve their efforts around managing and communicating health and wellness benefits. Top level findings can be found in the infographic below. A deeper dive into the data, including four topical fact sheets, can be found here.
