For the eighth consecutive year, Colonial
Life is the exclusive sponsor of the Society for Human Resource
Management’s 2014 Employee Benefits Survey.
The annual survey of more than 500 employers in the United States
gathers information on the types of benefits employers offer their
employees. The survey results will be released Sunday, June 22 at SHRM’s
national conference in Orlando.
Colonial Life has sponsored the SHRM Employee Benefits Survey since
2007. The survey is completed by a random sampling of human resource
professionals from small companies with fewer than 100 employees to
large companies with more than 500 employees. Employers are asked about
the employee benefits they offer, such as health insurance, paid
vacation, retirement plans, life insurance, child care assistance and
employee education programs from a listing of nearly 300 benefit options.
The results show the percentage of employers currently offering each
benefit, those that plan to offer the benefit in the next 12 months and
the percentage of organizations offering benefits on an annual basis
over the past five years.
“America’s workers depend on the financial protection offered by their
workplace benefits,” said Randy Horn, president and chief executive
officer of Colonial Life. “This annual survey offers employers very
reliable data they can use to make informed decisions about the benefits
they offer their employees.”
