New Business New study reveals employee preferences
A recent employee-benefits study conducted by MetLife Inc. revealed some interesting information about employee preferences and behavior. Of the full-time employees surveyed, 64% said they preferred paid vacation days over other employer-provided benefits such as pension plans, disability insurance, life insurance, and long-term-care insurance. Younger employees (21 to 30 years of age) valued sick leave and flexible work schedules more than pension and savings plans. Though about half of the survey respondents worried that they wouldn't have enough set aside for retirement, one-third revealed that they haven't even started saving for retirement. |
