A recent MetLife survey uncovered some revealing data about how strongly companies and employees feel about business stepping up to take care of its people:
- 82% of employees believe employers have a responsibility to care for their workforce
- 88% of employers feel it's important to demonstrate care for their employees
Taking care of employees isn't only the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do. As a survey conducted by The Workforce Institute at UKG and Workplace Intelligence in 2021 reported, employees who feel cared for at work are:
- 92% more likely to feel engaged
- 65% more likely to be loyal to their employer
- 56% more likely to be productive
No wonder employers believe that demonstrating their care for employees is the number one reason they invest in benefits. And no wonder medical and health insurance was the top "must-have" benefit in the UKG survey.
