Recent findings from Unum suggests most employees don't believetheir employer-provided benefits would provide sufficient financialprotection if they missed work because of illness or injury. Nearly60 percent of workers would consider buying more coverage throughwork, if they were offered the chance.

"Employers invest a lot of time and money in building the rightbenefits package to help their workforce stay financially stableand help protect them from the financial fallout of illness andinjury," said Neiciee Durrence, vice president, Voluntary PracticeLeader for Unum, in a statement. "As we head into the fall benefitsenrollment season, this survey offers a strong message to employersabout the need to offer ways to cover gaps in those benefitsplans."

Only 32 percent of employees surveyed said the non-medicalbenefits they receive through work would provide adequate financialresources for them and their families should they become unable towork due to injury, illness or maternity.
