2025 Workplace Benefits Report
This year’s study shines a light on employee wellness and what employers can do to support their workers’ goals.
Key takeaways
- Across the wellness spectrum, nearly 7 in 10 employees feel optimistic about their financial future over the next three years. At the same time, they’re stressed about their current level of debt, caregiving demands and hitting their emergency savings goal.
- While employees want help with their broader financial goals, some employers remain focused on traditional benefits alone — like retirement plans and health insurance. Financial wellness programs, equity awards, debt assistance, caregiver support and encouraging work/life balance can retain employee loyalty and attract top talent.
- Cultivating employees’ financial well-being helps companies stay competitive in the job market, with more than 8 in 10 employers saying that financial wellness resources help drive job satisfaction, talent retention, and work productivity.
