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 at the end of March. 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 2018!

Now in its eighth year, the 2018 Survey saw record participation, with 95 public and private employers participating, representing over 180,000 Minnesotans and approximately 615,000 employees nationally. 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.

“The Survey findings inform our work throughout the year. In addition to enabling us to benchmark against other Minnesota employers, we mine the results to ensure our benefits are continually refined to attract and retain top talent. The results meeting is a bonus opportunity to meet with our peers to discuss best practices and share unique insights.”
