Employee Participation

Americans in the top-ranked states are more likely to report receiving high-quality, proactive care from their providers and to experience fewer barriers to accessing health care services, including challenges related to finding providers, transportation and personal health or mobility limitations.

A plan participant filed a complaint earlier this month in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Centene Management, a subsidiary of Centene Corp., which serves as the legal sponsor and administrator of certain employee benefit plans.

The plaintiff alleges plan fiduciaries misallocated unvested contributions, prioritizing company savings over participant benefits.

Nearly two-thirds (64%) of U.S. employees have experienced or witnessed a political disagreement at work in the past year.

Seventy-three percent of employers say health care costs are one of the top issues faced by employees that their benefits seek to address.

Seven in 10 HR and benefits managers say mental health challenges are affecting employees’ ability to do their jobs.
