Does anyone know of any studies, sources, or stats, that shows the impact of voluntary benefits on employee satisfacion, loyalty, or recruiting and retention? Thanks!

LIMRA spends a significant amount of time putting out the results of their surveys on issues such as voluntary benefits. Many large benefit consulting organizations also put out their survey results from time to time.

In summary, voluntary benefits are overwhelmingly desired by employees. The impact the program has in the long run is dictated by the quality of the program, the education done prior to implementing ( as opposed to selling it to the ee's) and the ongoing customer service.

Be careful what voluntary benefits you offer. More is not necessarily better...

What did you find out about the effects of voluntary benefits on employees? Also, where is that accessible?
