State of the Employee Health Ecosystem

Employers have access to an explosion of new health benefits and digital health solutions. While both new innovations and long-used benefits (such as biometric screenings) offer value to employers, identifying the right employee health benefits for your business and employee population’s needs can be overwhelming. The right health benefits fall into the sweet spot where: the C-suite supports them; employees want to use them; and they deliver value through better health outcomes or lower healthcare costs. Which benefits meet this criteria? Do employers know which their employees value most? This session will present the findings of a new survey revealing how employers and employees think about health benefits programs and the surprising gaps between the types of solutions these groups believe are most valuable to their respective health goals and costs. The results demonstrate a need to better align health benefits programs that offer high-engagement, employee satisfaction, and high-value.
