Nine of 10 HR managers polled by Colonial Life feel that employees have at least a vague notion that benefits are a valuable part of working at a company.
However, the same study found that only 21% of those employers believed their employees had a strong understanding of the workings of their own benefits. And 5% believed that their employees didn’t know anything about their benefit options.
Implication: The greater emphasis placed on employee education, the more likely workers understand the role of benefits in total compensation.
