5. Current Trends and Market Realities
Employers thinking about how they can do more with
less in a more compliant but proactive way
Employees getting the message(s) that they needed
to be healthier and more productive
Individuals taking steps to prepare themselves for
their own financial futures by¹:
– Building their own personal safety nets to protect their family’s
future
– Depending on the workplace for benefits and advice – even if
employees have to fund most or all of the costs themselves
The concept that one-size fit all benefits plans is a
thing of the past is resonating for all parties
