MetLife's 22nd Annual U.S. Employee Benefit Trends Study underscores the need for ongoing employer support and delivery of Enhanced Benefits to drive employee wellness, engagement and productivity.
This year's report finds employees are now more likely to experience negative feelings at work, including stress (12% more likely) and burnout (17% more likely) than they were pre-pandemic (2019). Employees are also 51% more likely to feel depressed at work than they were pre-pandemic.
Building on last year's report where MetLife unveiled “employee care” as a powerful tool for employers to support their workforce and organization, this year’s study finds delivering care during key work and life moments and prioritizing the role of benefits has an outsized impact on individuals and businesses alike. In fact, employees who understand and use their benefits are significantly more likely to feel cared for (88%) by their employer, compared to those who don’t (34%). In return, employees who feel cared for are 60% more likely to intend to be at their organization in 12 months and 55% more likely to feel productive at work.
