More than a few workers are “outright confused” about their employer's benefit offerings and many are risk-adverse—the combination of which can cause workers to be unnecessarily over-insured, according to Benefitsolver's MyChoice Recommendation Engine Benefits Insights Report.
A full 30 percent of workers say they are outright confused when trying to select benefit offers, according to the report. The data is drawn from questions that a half-million employees answered via Benefitsolver's MyChoice Recommendation Engine to obtain a personalized benefits recommendation during the 2019 annual enrollment period on the Benefitsolver platform.
