Eastbridge Consulting Group Announces Release of Worksite MarketVision™ —The Employee Viewpoint Revisited

AVON, CONNECTICUT, USA (May 29, 2007)

The benefits world continues to change, and employees appear to be more educated as well as more experienced in choosing and buying insurance. They look closely at the cost and value of each product and want to understand exactly how the product fits their particular needs. Carriers wanting to gain more of their business will need to fully understand the needs of today’s employees and then create value propositions that focus on more than just features and benefits.

Eastbridge’s newest study, Worksite MarketVision™ —TheEmployee Viewpoint Revisited, provides important information that every carrier can use to understand and improve their employee value proposition. The study results are based on interviews with over 400 employees nationwide in accounts ranging from 10 to over 2,000 employees. Here are just a few of the study’s findings:

  • Most employees don’t have a good sense of what they are actually paying for their medical and other benefits.
  • Medical insurance is still the most important benefit to employees, but there was some change in the importance of other product lines.
  • Ownership of voluntary products has increased substantially since 2002 when only 40 percent of employees owned at least one voluntary product.
  • The report covers the following topics:
  • How employee contributions toward health insurance has impacted their voluntary product purchases
  • How employees rank the importance of various types of insurance
  • How important “choice” in benefits is to employees
  • The percentage of employees who own at least one voluntary product
  • Which voluntary products they do buy and which ones they’d like to buy
  • Why employees buy voluntary products
  • How they enroll in voluntary products and how satisfied they are with the enrollment process
  • What changes have occurred in employeesattitudes about benefits over the past several years

The Worksite MarketVision™The Employee Viewpoint Revisited is now available for purchase for $2,750. For more information on this report or to order a copy, call the company at (860) 676-9633 or email info@eastbridge.com.
