- 2015 Aflac Workforces Report: Snapshot of Employee Findings
Workers spend 10 times more effort on vacation planning, 8 times more effort selecting a computer than on choosing health insurance. When it’s time to select their health insurance options, most Americans do a thorough job of researching the types and amounts of benefits that best meet their unique needs, right?
At any given business, there can be five different generations in the workplace. Millennials can be working alongside their parents. The silent generation can be collaborating with Generation X on the same projects. There’s an age gap between the generations that can reach up to 50 years. With varying options, values and work experiences, each generation is different. Data from the Aflac WorkForces Report adds unique perspectives by asking employees of different generations their opinions on benefits, job satisfaction, savings for out-of-pocket costs and preparedness for unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. Each generation has different benefits needs. Understanding these generational differences can help employers ensure they are meeting the needs of all their employees regardless of generation.
