Think your benefits package isn't the dealmaker/dealbreaker when it comes to landing top talent? Think again. And if you believe your investment in health benefits is paying off, you might want to ask plan members if they agree.

Nearly three-quarters of the 1,000 respondents to a One Medical survey on benefits packages said they carefully compared benefits packages when weighing offers from prospective employers. And the health care components of the benefits package is the one they examine most closely.

The survey sought input on benefits packages to give insight into the value employees place on various components of benefits packages. Two-thirds of respondents said they'd take a benefit package heavy on health care components over one loaded with non-health perks. And 75 percent of employees over the age of 45 said they'd choose better health benefits over more perks.
