2、https:/ and Insights Following a Year of DisruptionBenefitfocus is pleased to present the State of Employee Benefits 2021 report the latest of our original series established in 2016.This years report has been expanded to include four years of employee benefit plan design and participation,highlight
3、ing key trends that are shaping the future.But first,here are a few things you should know about the report.Real benefits data,real employee behavior.This report is not a survey.Most reports on employee benefits are based on survey responses from a sample of a few thousand employees or administrator
4、s.While these surveys can be helpful trend indicators,they lack precision due to their reliance on retrospective,self-reported,algorithm-enhanced data.The State of Employee Benefits is different.Weve aggregated,anonymized and analyzed 3.5 million actual enrollment records from our large employer cus
5、tomers(1,000+employees).Both the nature and scope of the data make this report a one-of-a-kind look at employee benefits data and decisions what benefit plans employers are offering,which plans employees are selecting,what its costing and more.Who is this report intended to serve?This report is for
6、anyone seeking valuable insight into employee benefit trends over the last four years,with specific focus on the impacts of COVID-19.This includes benefit managers and administrators,HR executives,financial executives,insurance carriers,brokers,consultants,third-party administrators,policymakers,the
7、 media,and any other party who finds this information valuable or would simply like to read about employee benefits data and employee enrollment behavior.2021:The year after Not only does this years report provide insight into employee enrollment behavior for the last four years,its also our first b

9、on.42021.B,Inc.All Rights Reserved.Executive SummaryIf we look back just a couple of years,the employee benefits scene was slightly different than what were seeing today.The lowest unemployment rate since the 1960s,rising health care costs and an increasingly diverse workforce left employers to perf
10、orm a balancing act between controlling costs and offering competitive benefits packages.Fast forward three years to an unprecedented global pandemic,and the plot has twisted.While employers are still concerned with mitigating costs,their focus has shifted to uncertainty.The potential of layoffs,fur
11、loughs and budget cuts loomed as they responded to the financial impact of COVID-19.On top of that,many employers were forced to conduct a fully virtual benefits enrollment process for the first time ever.So how,and to what extent,did this impact benefit plan offerings and employee enrollment decisi
12、ons?To answer this question,we looked to the data collected on our platform from the last four fall annual enrollment periods.We analyzed records from more than 3.5 million employees across nearly 350 large employers(1,000+employees)from the last four years.1 Heres what we found:1The phrases“the las
13、t four annual enrollment periods”and“the last four years”refer to the fall of 2017 through the fall of 2020 for effective dates of 1/1/18 and 1/1/21.52021.B,Inc.All Rights Reserved.Employers are expanding benefit packages to address diverse needs within a multi-generational workforce.Nearly three qu
14、arters of large employer groups offered a mix of traditional health plans(PPOs)and high-deductible health plans(HDHPs)for 2021,moving away from single health plan strategies.Voluntary benefit offerings continued to expand specifically income protection benefits as a way to supplement core coverage a
15、nd provide greater flexibility and choice.Employee health plan premiums saw moderate growth as employers took on more of the cost burden in 2021.While employee health plan premiums only saw a slight increase between 2020 and 2021,employers are paying more as a percentage of the total premium in 2021
16、.HDHPs are catching up to traditional PPOs in popularity among employees.PPOs are still the health plan of choice among employees,however HDHPs have grown in popularity across the board,with participation up 30 percent since 2018.Consumer-directed health care accounts appeal to younger employees,in
17、particular.Since 2018,the percentage of Gen Zers with a health savings account(HSA)has more than doubled.Gen Zers,millennials and Gen Xers increased HSA contributions by 10 percent or more in 2021.2 Supplemental benefits gained significant traction among employees.Over the last four years,employee p
18、articipation in hospital indemnity plans has more than doubled and increased by 13 percent in 2021 alone.Participation in both critical illness and accident plans has grown by 65 percent or more since 2018 as well.2Age groups use in this report:Generation Z(born after 1997),millennials(born 1981-199
19、6),Generation X(born 1965-1980),baby boomers(born 1946-1964),and traditionalists(born 1945 or before).62021.B,Inc.All Rights Reserved.Employer Benefit OfferingsEmployers are providing more robust and flexible benefit packages as they look to strike a balance between cost-sharing and meeting the incr
20、easingly diverse needs of a multi-generational workforce.We continue to observe a shift away from a single health plan strategy to offering more health plan options as well as supplemental coverage to support employees total wellbeing.Health Plan OfferingsThe percentage of large employer groups that
21、 offer at least one traditional health plan(PPO)and one HDHP has grown steadily since 2018.Almost three quarters of large employer groups offered a combination of both in 2021,an increase from 65 percent in 2018.At the same time,the percentage of employers offering HDHPs exclusively dropped by 24 pe
22、rcent,while employers offering only PPOs fell by more than 16 percent in the same timeframe.Figure 1.1:Annual Employer Health Plan Offering,2018-2021HDHP+PPOPPO OnlyHDHP Only0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%20021The percentage of employers offering a combination of HDHPs and PPOs has increased t
23、o 71 percent.(See Appendix Table 1)Impact of Cadillac Tax RepealUp until 2019,the threat of the ACAs“Cadillac tax”which would effectively limit richer employer-funded health care plans loomed over employers.Many had adjusted by diversifying their offerings specifically to include HDHPs.Despite the r
24、epeal of the Cadillac tax,employers remain interested in making their health plans more efficient and see value in shifting costs with HDHPs.72021.B,Inc.All Rights Reserved.Voluntary Benefit OfferingsBefore the COVID-19 pandemic,employers offered voluntary benefits as part of a total compensation pa
25、ckage to attract and retain top talent in a competitive job market.Now,in the post-pandemic world,voluntary income protection benefits such as accident,critical illness and hospital indemnity insurance,as well as certain specialty benefit products,have become vital to protect employees against the u
26、nexpected and to support their total wellbeing.Large employers have steadily increased their voluntary income protection benefits since 2018,with more than two-thirds offering accident and critical illness plans in 2021,and nearly 50 percent now offering hospital indemnity insurance.Specialty produc
27、ts,including identity theft protection,legal insurance and pet insurance,have experienced even higher growth in employer offerings since 2018,with identity theft protection and pet insurance increasing by more than 17 percent over the last year.Figure 1.2:Average Annual Percentage of Employers Offer

32、ums,with the exception of HDHP family coverage.(See Appendix Tables 4 and 5)Over the last four years,employers continued to apply cost-sharing techniques across health plan premiums,deductibles and out-of-pocket(OOP)maximums as a means to keep health plans affordable for both their organization and
33、their employees.Despite predictions that COVID-19 would cause spikes in health care premiums,growth in costs were moderate for most plan types.Most employees have experienced an increase in the dollar amount theyre paying for health plan premiums each of the last four years.Premiums for family cover
34、age have increased by 14 percent for HDHP subscribers and nine percent for PPO subscribers.Individual HDHP subscribers actually saw a four percent decline in premiums,while premiums for individual PPO plans went the opposite direction with a four percent increase since 2018.However,employees are con
35、tributing slightly less of a percentage of total premium in 2021 than they did in 2020(with the exception of family-coverage HDHPs,which only increased by less than one percent).This is the first time any health plan has seen a decrease in employee cost-sharing since 2018.Figure 2.1:Average Annual E

44、ained in the health care landscape.More specifically,younger employees,who are typically healthier and less risk-averse,are opting for the lower premiums offered by an HDHP.Health Plan ParticipationWhen given the choice between a PPO and an HDHP,employees are increasingly opting for the latter,with
45、HDHP participation up 30 percent since 2018.Participation in HDHPs continues to be highest among millennials,although Gen Xers and baby boomers are showing an increased appetite for HDHPs,with participation up more than 20 percent since 2018.As the newest entrants to the workforce,Gen Zers saw the l

50、o fund out-of-pocket costs and build savings with pre-tax dollars.More than 90 percent of HDHP subscribers opted into an HSA for 2021,up from 83 percent in 2018.Consistent with the trend in HDHP adoption by generation,HSA participation has increased most significantly among younger employees,with mi

63、unplanned expenses.Employee participation has increased in voluntary accident,critical illness and hospital indemnity insurance since 2018,with participation in hospital indemnity doubling.Accident insurance saw the second-highest participation growth with an increase of 76 percent,followed by criti

71、average number of voluntary benefits elected.In 2018,more than 60 percent of employees selected three or fewer of voluntary benefits.That has shifted to almost 60 percent of employees selecting four or more income protection and/or specialty products in 2021.Figure 4.4:Yearly Trend of Number of Volu

73、ts.(See Appendix Table 17)Voluntary benefits offer an efficient way for employees to supplement out-of-pocket medical costs and build financial security.However,with more and more options competing for employees attention and budgets,they must have guidance in selecting the plans that make the most
74、sense for their unique situation.Employers will need to educate employees on how the existing and emerging benefits they offer can build long-term resilience.Overall,employer benefit offerings and enrollment trends stayed on par with previous years,despite COVID-19.There was a clear upward trend for
75、 expanding benefit offerings as a way to differentiate in a competitive job market leading up to 2020.If anything,employers took a more paternalistic approach for 2021,continuing to offer more benefits and absorbing health plan cost increases to keep things consistent for employees.At the same time,
76、employees took more advantage of savings opportunities and income protection.Conclusion202021.B,Inc.All Rights Reserved.Visibility into health care claims is necessary to identify and mitigate cost-drivers.Health care costs are expected to keep rising,and the long-term effects of COVID-19 on employe
77、r-sponsored health plans are still unknown.Whether its an increase in chronic illness or a surge in previously delayed surgical procedures,employers will need ready access to data and insights to help make informed,proactive decisions to address whatever challenges arise in the wake of the pandemic.
78、The ability to identify and track trends in health care claims will help employers gather information on the effectiveness of their health plan strategy and employee health plan utilization.With on-demand reporting and analytics,employers can more easily identify whats driving their costs,understand
79、 potential risks and coverage gaps,and ultimately develop smarter plans and programs to build and support a happier and healthier workforce.Flexible and diverse benefits should be a priority for employers.Understanding the specific needs and demands of employees is key for employers to curate a comp
80、rehensive benefits package that enables employees to build health and resiliency physically,financially and mentally.Now is the time to focus on providing options to support their unique needs,especially those that are emphasized as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,including additional income prote
81、ction options,telemedicine,mental health benefits and more.Again,access to data analytics along with complementary consulting is essential for employers to not only identify which products and services to implement,but also measure performance and effectiveness of those programs.By investing in a be
82、nefits management platform that seamlessly integrates voluntary benefits and analytics capabilities,employers can not only streamline the roll out and administration of new programs,but also track participation in such programs and assess the impact they have on employee behavior.Value-added service
83、s from vendor partners can further amplify efforts to drive behavior change and improve employee total wellbeing.Improving employee health requires effective communication and engagement.COVID-19 has put health care and financial wellness front and center for most Americans.And as employers roll out
84、 new health plan and benefit strategies,theres a critical need to help employees navigate the complexity and understand the full breadth of options.This goes beyond basic health literacy to helping employees optimize their benefits investment from choosing the right medical plan and supplemental cov
85、erage to being proactive about preventive care.HR and benefit leaders must create and implement purposeful communication campaigns that help employees truly engage in their benefits throughout the year.This requires a benefits platform that enables them to target messages and reach employees where t
86、hey are with timely information in an easily consumable format,including mobile alerts,impactful emails and video.More importantly,providing education at the point of decision during enrollment as well as at the point of care can help drive smarter enrollment and utilization decisions.Looking Ahead2
