Health and well-being is a top concern for many CEOs and CFOs and is influencing their 2023 business decision making. According to our Beat the Crisis research, people’s safety ranked in importance above many other factors, including financial market volatility and high energy costs. Providing meaningful benefits has moved well beyond an opportunity to differentiate the employee value proposition to an operational necessity, not to mention a mitigation against wage inflation. Today’s business case for benefits covers a myriad of people risks, including meeting growing environmental, social and governance (ESG) expectations. This report will help revise, refine and prioritize the business case for further investment in benefits that support the needs of a modern workforce and sustain productivity through this new era.
