Which benefits trends will affect employees most in 2023? 

2023 is off and running! But before things get too busy, let’s just take a moment to acknowledge that employees have been through some stuff these last few years. 

To say the U.S. workplace has seen dramatic changes during that time is a significant understatement. The global pandemic created additional challenges for employers (Great Resignation, anyone?) and yes, opportunities like more flexible work arrangements for employees. But the pandemic also magnified the impact of some underlying issues for employees that were emerging even before its onset. 

Based on what employees have been through, what reverberations will they feel the most this year? What issues are weighing heavily on their minds? And most importantly, what benefit solutions can advisors and employers use to help them resolve the challenges they face? Based on what we’re hearing from our clients and industry insights, here’s my take on the top benefit trends employers need to address in 2023 – and some solutions you can offer to help their employees.
