Deliver value in a cost-constrained world
As employers head further into 2025, one message is clear: the old rules of employee benefits are fundamentally changing. With rising costs, economic instability, and employees demanding more support and personalization, organizations must transform how they think about benefits. Yet, this isn't a story of increased budgets and ever-increasing programs. Instead, it's a story of smarter spending, sharper focus and using benefits as a strategic tool to drive engagement, retention and purpose.
Our 2025 Benefits Trends Survey offers a comprehensive approach to understanding the future direction of an organization's benefit strategy. This year's survey delves into a wide range of topics, including the role of benefits within the organization, planned spending, priorities and effectiveness. It also explores communication and engagement strategies, the use of technology, financial management, vendor management and emerging trends such as AI in benefits support and support for specific employee groups.
