ISCEBS/Deloitte Top 5 Total Rewards Priorities Survey Results Total Rewards priority survey results show employees take action to curb concerns over financial and job security – Deloitte/ISCEBS 16th Annual Top Five Survey New research reveals employees, motivated by concerns related to money and job security, are taking action to get their financial houses in order while increasingly participating in wellness and disease management programs. At the same time, faced with rising health care costs year after year, employers are stepping up emphasis on disease management and wellness programs designed to reduce costs. This alignment of interests between employer and employee is the strongest in Deloitte’s survey series to date and points to a shared focus on health, responsibility, and cost reduction – that could benefit both in the long-term. Press Release | Full survey findings | Previous Top 5 Survey findings Employers Anxious About Retiree Medical Promises: ISCEBS/Towers Perrin Survey Findings A weak economy and uncertainty about the direction, timing, or impact of national health care reform have plan sponsors in a quandary as to how to address the rising cost and continuing administrative burden of their retiree medical plans. These findings are from a new survey from ISCEBS and Towers Perrin. The survey also revealed a sense of urgency about the need to make changes to costly retiree medical plans, an urgency compounded by the historical lack of marketplace solutions for pre-Medicare retirees, creating further anxiety among plan sponsors. The joint nationwide survey conducted by Towers Perrin and the International Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists, now in its fifth year, drew responses from 155 organizations on issues and objectives influencing retiree medical strategy and design. Press Release | Full Survey Findings | More Surveys CD-ROMs with issues of Benefits Quarterly dating from 1996-2008 are now available. If you requested a copy of this CD on your membership application, the CD will be sent to you. If you would like to get a copy please email the Society and we will be happy to send you one. |
