The Importance of Measuring Employee Satisfaction with Healthcare Benefits

A recent survey conducted by America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) indicates that 56 percent of U.S. adults with employer-sponsored health benefits say that whether or not they like their health coverage is a key factor in deciding to stay at their current job. Another 46 percent say health insurance was either the deciding factor or a positive influence in choosing their current job. A successful employee retention strategy needs to prioritize a healthy workforce that feels empowered to use their healthcare options not just as an emergency measure, but as an important tool to maintain preventive care, overall well-being, and happiness.
