Meeting global challenges with better family healthcare
Layoffs across the industries, the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the overturning of Roe vs. Wade have challenged employees and employers alike. With tightening budgets and prevailing uncertainty, how can healthcare companies take a people-first approach to their benefits decisions?
We surveyed HR leaders and full-time employees to discover how they’re using family benefits to navigate the uncertainty and challenges of 2023 and beyond.
Deploying a comprehensive approach to family care
Outside of the impacts of the Dobbs case, escalating global economic uncertainty continues to be top of mind for healthcare companies as they make their benefits decisions. Despite keeping a closer eye on budgets, most employers say they’re adding benefits in the next two to three years.
Uncertainty and change create opportunities
Increased restrictions on reproductive healthcare posed new challenges for employees in 2022. They’ll continue to have broad-reaching implications for employers, affecting employee productivity and attrition and leading to inequitable access to care.
51%
of healthcare employees say the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision and the current economic climate make them feel more anxious. Of these workers, nearly half say that this anxiety is affecting their productivity at work.
64%
of healthcare employees say that the Supreme Court’s ruling has factored into their plans for starting and raising their families.
