  1. The number one concern of today’s employees having enough money to pay bills during a period of income loss – an issue about which 71% of all employees and 82% of female employees surveyed are “extremely concerned.” Yet, only 60% of full-time employees (and 47% of consumers overall) have disability insurance. Even among those full-time employees who have disability insurance, nearly half (44%) do not know how much coverage they have. Compounding the problem is insufficient benefits education – only 40% of employees understand which employee benefits offerings best meet their needs. Yet, while employees are very concerned about big issues such as income protection (71%), healthcare (59%) and outliving their retirement savings (49%) – they value immediate-term benefits (e.g., paid vacation days) significantly more than protection products, such as disability insurance and life insurance. Disability is often misunderstood when designing key employee benefit programs. Lack of understanding leads to unintended gaps and exposure Disability plans have not kept up with changes in compensation “ One size fits all” approach causes reverse discrimination and other undesirable effects on key employees Waiting until a problem occurs can have disastrous results for employees and employers
  2. As for older workers, the “graying” of the U.S. workforce is causing many companies – especially large employers – to change the way they do business. One third (33%) of all employers – and 51% of those with 25,000 or more employees – believe that the aging population will have a big impact on their company. Currently, 19% of all employers offer products and services geared specifically to an aging workforce, such as long-term care referral services, caregiver guides and eldercare support groups . Consequently, these employers predict that the demand for certain employee benefits products will rise. More than one-third (35%) of all employers (and 51% of companies with 25,000 or more employees) expect worker participation in long-term care insurance programs to increase over the next 18 months. One in four (25%) foresees an up-tick in both disability and life insurance enrollment. The cost of nursing home care and comparable care-providers are rapidly escalating. This trend is projected to continue, even as the life expectancies of healthy retirees extend into their 80’s and 90’s. Because of this the probability of needing long-term care significantly increases. The associated costs can drastically exhaust financial wealth that executives had planned on during retirement. Even for relatively short-term situations, the effect of long term care costs on retirement assets without an LTC insurance plan can be significant. Factors compounding the effect include: Lost Investment Opportunity on assets used to pay for long term care Asset Liquidation Costs (i.e. liquidation taxes, cost basis, and market timing) Rapidly Escalating Care Cost and Demand  that could outpace investment returns
  3. Currently, only 27% of companies pay the full cost of their employees’ medical insurance – while even fewer fully subsidize dental coverage (19%) and vision care (16%). A relatively high percentage of employers pay the full cost of their employees’ disability insurance (30%) and term life insurance (32%) coverage. Among companies that offer less-traditional benefits on a voluntary basis, a significant percentage provide a company-paid subsidy for: 401(k) or other qualified plans (63%) Critical illness insurance (48%) Long-term care insurance (47%) Estate planning (45%) Term life insurance for spouse or dependents (38%) Financial planning (39%), Annuities (39%), 529 plans (32%) and Legal services plans (29%) Most employers (61%) do not currently offer executive benefits – i.e., benefits that address the special needs of highly compensated employees. The most popular executive benefits are individual disability insurance (offered by 17% of employers and by 29% of companies with 25,000 or more employees), optional/supplemental life insurance (16%) and long-term care insurance (13%). When designing effective disability plans for key employees, it is important to recognize shifting patterns in their compensation. Salary accounted for only 17% of the average CEO’s compensation package in 1995 (as compared to 80% in 1965) Annual incentives amounted to 24% Long term incentives comprised 16% The value of stock options comprised close to 43% of key employee compensation As income from bonus, stock options and other long term incentives become more prevalent forms of key employee compensation, increasing amounts of income are uninsured under group LTD plans.
