A fair number of employers say they plan to use their tax cut savings to enhance employee compensation and benefits, while stock analysts believe less will actually go towards workers – and more will be used for stock buybacks and shareholder dividends.
Aon asked 504 mid-large employers how they planned to use the expected "the windfall" created from the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and found that 29 percent will enhance their employee compensation and benefits; 26 percent will spend on capital structure; 24 percent will spend on infrastructure; and 23 percent will direct return to shareholders.
Aon expects twice as many employers to still announce impacts of tax windfalls, as employers are viewing talent as an "integral part" of their tax reform windfall investment strategy, says Roselyn Feinsod, East region practice leader for Aon's retirement practice.
