How employers and employees view voluntary benefit offerings. A report from the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) shows that benefit brokers and employees have differing views on the purpose of voluntary benefits. Employers primarily value them for employee morale, while brokers value them as an important recruiting and retention tool, and to produce a healthier workforce. EBRI worked with Lincoln Financial to produce the report, which included a survey of 170 benefits brokers conducted from August to September 2025. Voluntary benefits include health, dental, vision; and other non-traditional benefits, such as fertility benefits, and financial wellness programs. Most of the brokers in the sample described their job "as a benefits broker, advisor, or consultant," while other described their role as a "benefits analyst or another role in selecting employee benefits." The report noted that 85% of employers in the sample cited "improving morale and satisfaction as a key reason to offer benefits, compared with only 48 percent of brokers - by far the biggest divergence between the two groups," when asked for reasons why they offer voluntary benefits. However, the gap narrowed on the other core motivations for offering voluntary benefits. Among brokers, 56% cited competition with other employers, 55% cited meeting employee expectations, and 53% valued both improved retention and also recruiting. Among employers, these percentages were 62%, 54%, 62% and 67%, respectively. Benefit Effectiveness The report noted that sometimes benefits don't reach workers efficiently, or workers may make inefficient use of them. 63% of brokers said that "providing better educational tools for employees" is a good way to improve their effectiveness and appeal. Brokers in the sample also said that "many employers could improve their understanding of supplemental health benefits, suggesting that education support is needed not only for employees, but also for employers." For dental and vision specifically, the most common challenges for brokers were the importance of the benefits to the employer at 47% and limited employer budgets at 47%. Whereas, for supplemental health benefits, brokers cited importance to employees at 46% and administrative complexity at 46%. Please log in or create a free account to comment on this article.
