Benefits Breakthrough: How employees and their employers are navigating an evolving environment

1 CE has been approved by the WAOIC for this program

As the benefits industry continues to experience the transformative effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), together with ongoing benefit budget pressures, MetLife's 12th Annual U.S. Employee Benefit Trends Study delivers timely and reliable research results that explore important benefits issues and evolving trends. Building on more than a decade of research, the annual Study provides fresh insights that can help employers get more from their benefits investments in the form of satisfied, skilled and productive workers. The Study also suggests proven tactics to help employees become more knowledgeable and confident benefits consumers as their benefits environment shifts to increased cost sharing and accountability.

The presentation will cover:

• Benefits Breakthrough

• Employees as benefits consumers: Ready, willing, but are they able?

• For Employers, the benefits balancing act just gets harder

• Addressing alignment: Benefits expectations, costs and responsibilities

• Turn insights into action
