How can companies help their employees? Surveys indicate that 20% of employees are more likely to choose voluntary benefits if premiums are taken out of their paychecks, seeing it as easy, convenient and less expensive than private policies. The Majority of financial decisions today are made in the workplace. This same study also indicated that these employees trust their employers’ choices and offerings in these areas.
