Benefits Benchmarking Survey

Utilizing Benchmark Data Effectively to Control Costs

What a company spends on benefits typically represents one of the top bottom-line costs and how you manage those dollars and what you spend those dollars on is increasingly important with today’s diverse workforce and increasing benefit costs.

Alera Group leverages the best data in the market to help in our evaluation process to give large employers more power when it comes to their renewals. Here are a few valuable reasons to include benchmark data as part of your evaluation tools in 2023.

Multi-generational workforce. Baby boomers are on their way out and Millennials make up the greatest portion of our workforce at more than 58 million. Knowing your workforce demographics can help you identify the right benefits to offer since the needs and values vary greatly between generations.
Level the Playing Field. For large employers, we leverage Milliman’s BenefitsCFO platform and the Milliman claim database to access the same rate/cost data the carriers use.
Avoid wasting benefit dollars. Do you have benefits your employees don’t value or perhaps you’re considering an H.S.A. health plan option if you have a young workforce. Retained savings can be reinvested into other benefits that may be a better fit for your employees and lead to better overall benefit satisfaction.
Perhaps you’ve shied away from a decision or recommendation not willing to risk being wrong – nothing any of us enjoy. By having the right data at hand, it allows you to better validate your decisions, and so you can get a good night’s sleep.

If you haven’t considered integrating Benefit Benchmark data into your annual evaluation, we hope we’ve given you some food for thought. Available Benchmark Reports to Download
