A majority of U.S. workers plan to rely on their employer-provided health care coverage now and in the future. However, more than one-third would consider dropping their employer-provided health insurance if they become eligible to purchase similar coverage through other avenues.
1. Employees know how to get healthy, but many aren't taking action.
2. Participation in health programs is low, but satisfaction is high.
3. Internal motivators can be just as effective as financial ones.
4. Skepticism and confusion get in the way of healthy actions.
5. Workers want targeted and personalized communication.
To help cut through the clutter of health care messages, employees and their dependents are asking for more personalized communication that is relevant to them.
