Annual Employer Benefits Survey

Annual Employer Benefits Survey

The Minnesota Health Action Group’s Annual Employer Benefits Survey captures a unique and vital snapshot of trends in the Minnesota employee benefits marketplace, and provides a tool for Action Group members and other Survey participants to benchmark their plans.

The Survey is conducted in the first quarter of each year, with results shared with participants about a month after the Survey closes. The confidential and free Survey digs deep into what is and isn’t working for Minnesota employers. Participants enjoy access to invaluable strategic and tactical plan design details, along with insight into health plan vendors, prescription drug trends (with an emphasis on specialty pharmacy), wellness programs, market innovations, and more.

Record participation in 2019!

Now in its ninth year, the 2019 Survey saw record participation, with 108 public and private employers participating, representing well over a quarter-million employees. Participating employers gathered to review survey findings, discuss insights, and share perspectives with each other. We look forward to even greater participation next year!

The Survey was shaped by employers, for employers. Employers providing feedback agreed that “The survey covers topics that are important to me and my organization.” A comprehensive report of findings and detailed answers was provided to organizations that participated in the Survey, which was open to members and non-members.
