Voluntary Benefits in the Large Case Market
Cost: $3,000; published 2023
The Voluntary Benefits in the Large Case Market Spotlight™ Report analyzes the opportunities and current results for selling voluntary benefits in the large employer market and updates Eastbridge’s previous report on this subject.
While the definition of a large case varies dramatically from carrier to carrier, this report defines it as having 1,000 or more employees. The report further breaks down the large case market by size where data is available and looks at:
- Size of the large employer market
- Products sold in this market
- What large case employers look for in a voluntary product and carrier
- Differences in attitudes or ownership for employees in the large case market
- Key carriers in the large case market
- Carrier practices in the market
With this information, carriers can better understand the large case market and how to compete more effectively or determine if this is a market they should pursue.
[Note: The data in this report is pulled from the large case-specific data published in several other Eastbridge studies, including the 2022 MarketVision™—The Employer Viewpoint© and 2023 MarketVision™—The Employee Viewpoint© studies, as well as the 2022 U.S. Voluntary/Worksite Sales Report. The data presented in the Carrier Viewpoint section of this report is from a new study not previously published. Overall, the error margin for the data is roughly plus or minus 5 percentage points, with slightly higher margins for individual size segments.]
