Conclusion The employee benefits market is expected to undergo significant shifts as we enter 2025. For employers, there will be a continued need to offer competitive compensation and benefits packages not only to attract new employees, but help current employees offset the pressures of rising health care costs as well. A strategic focus on voluntary benefits can also be a great way to bolster your benefits offerings, add value for your employees and potentially improve retention in a hard labor market. Beyond these financial incentives, it’s equally important that employers continue to take a holistic approach to employee well-being, prioritizing their worker’s physical and mental health. Doing so can help foster a resilient and engaged workforce. Ultimately, 2025 will require employers to be strategic and adaptable as they navigate imminent challenges.
