Employers not catching up with high demand for benefits personalisation – report

Almost two-thirds of leading companies also said they plan to increase inclusive offerings, such as benefits focused on:

• Families (54%)
• Ageing (39%)
• Gender (39%)
• Employees at lower income levels (25%)

“Companies are moving in that direction and communicating their progress, but must also manage the realities of cost and complexity,” Pedel said.

Cost containment a top priority

Cost management remains the top priority for organisations worldwide, according to the report.

“Ensuring efficient cost management is unsurprisingly the number one strategic priority across all segments, regions and most industries, rising from number three globally last year,” the report read.
