The Gap Among Top Financial Concerns Is Surprising<br />
When employees are asked to rate the importance of various financial concerns,<br />
retirement-related issues are, of course, high on the list and most employers well<br />
recognize the importance.<br />
Interestingly, many employees are also concerned about having adequate insurance<br />
protection for themselves and their families. As insurance programs have become<br />
more complex with a broader range of traditional benefits and options, employees<br />
express great interest in obtaining needed insurance at the workplace. However,<br />
the benefits priorities for many employers are elsewhere and the gap in employers<br />
recognizing these employee needs/concerns is surprisingly large.<br />
