Analysts with Marsh McLennan Agency highlight four trends shaping employee benefits in the American workplace: generational gap, AI in HR, rising healthcare costs, and pharmacy pricing.
With five generations in the workforce, HR and benefits leaders need to design flexible benefits strategies that appeal to different age demographics.
AI is transforming HR by unlocking the potential of employees and fostering deeper connections, enhancing employee experience, and driving a culture of continuous growth.
Rising healthcare costs demand a data-driven approach, understanding the drivers of healthcare usage and developing targeted programs to mitigate costs.
Employers should re-evaluate their relationship with pharmacy benefits managers to effectively manage pharmacy costs, potentially switching to new PBMs or implementing cost-cutting plans.
