These early findings from <i>MetLife\u2019s 2026 U.S. Employee Benefit Trends Study <\/i>underscore the challenge of sustaining workforce well-being and engagement in an environment where both employees and employers are financially strained.<\/p>\n<p>\nKey highlights include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n83% of employees say rising living expenses and medical costs are their top stressors and 77% say economic uncertainty is a major concern<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nOn average, employees miss 6.1 days of work due to health-related issues and 50% of employees often avoid seeking medical care because of out-of-pocket costs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nEmployers cite \u201ccontrolling health care costs\u201d as the #1 benefits objective, surpassing productivity, loyalty, and attracting new talent for the first time since 2022<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n60% of employers increased their investment in benefits and 62% expanded their non-medical offerings<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nAs overall workforce well-being has stalled, with just 44% of employees report feeling holistic healthy<sup>1<\/sup> and engagement, loyalty and productivity remaining flat<sup>2<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cCurrent economic conditions mean employers are under immense pressure to manage costs while remaining invested in employee well-being at a time when their workforce is also stressed,\u201d said Todd Katz, Head of U.S. Group Benefits at MetLife. \u201cOur research shows how effective benefits strategies can help organizations strike a balance between financial discipline and improving outcomes for their employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Holistic Health and Non-Medical Benefits Drive Financial Gains<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nEmployers recognize that investing in workforce health and well-being improves business outcomes. According to employers surveyed, for every $1 invested in employee health, employers would expect an average of $2.30 return through gains in productivity, retention, and lower medical spending. Holistically healthy employees also report being 25% more productive and loyal and taking 10% fewer sick days\u2014driving a significant return on investment (ROI) for employers.<\/p>\n<p>\nNon-medical benefits such as dental plans, financial wellness solutions, disability insurance and leave support are considered particularly impactful for lifting employee health while reducing costs\u201473% of employers say non-medical benefits are the most cost-effective way to support employee well-being and 83% report lower medical costs as a result of offering them.<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite increased investments in benefits by employers, employee health and productivity have stalled. Employers need to strategically tailor benefit offerings to the specific needs of the workforce that provide meaningful support. Non-medical benefits such as legal services, accident and health insurance can play a critical role by supplementing medical plans and supporting employees across all ages and life stages.<\/p>\n<p><b>How to Maximize ROI of Benefits Strategies<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nMetLife\u2019s data emphasizes the impact that offering non-medical benefits can have on outcomes through significant uplifts in employee health\u2014employees are 38% more likely to feel holistically healthy when using 5 or more non-medical benefits and 69% more likely when they use 10 or more.<\/p>\n<p>\nImproving access to preventive care, which emphasizes early intervention and detection, can help employees reduce the risk of more serious and expensive health events in the future\u201484% of employees say preventive care reduces their chances of having more serious health problems and 80% say it saves them money as a result\u201462% also say non-medical benefits are essential to accessing preventive care, according to MetLife\u2019s study.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThrough more strategic investments in employee health and benefits\u2014beyond simply expanding the menu of options\u2014organizations can help strengthen the resilience of their workforce in the face of persistent cost pressures,\u201d adds Katz. \u201cThis ultimately empowers businesses to sustain growth, adapt to change and maintain a competitive edge in any environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About MetLife\u2019s Employee Benefit Trends Study &amp; Methodology<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nMetLife\u2019s U.S. Employee Benefit Trends Study (EBTS) is a leading source of insights into workplace trends, employee expectations, and employer strategies.
