Colonial Life Sponsors Employee Benefits Survey
Colonial Life is the exclusive sponsor of the Society for Human Resource Management's 2008 Employee Benefits Survey.
The survey of nearly 1,000 employers in the United States gathers information on the types of benefits employers offer their employees. The survey results will be released in June at SHRM's national conference in Chicago.
Colonial Life is the first corporate sponsor of SHRM's Employee Benefits Survey since it began in 1996.
The survey is completed by a random sampling of human resource professionals from small companies with fewer than 100 employees to large companies with more than 500 employees. Employers are asked about the employee benefits they offer, such as health insurance, paid vacation, retirement plans, life insurance, child care assistance, employee education programs and more than 250 other possible benefit options.
The results will show the number of employers offering each benefit, comparisons based on staff size, organization industry and sector, and year-to-year trends.
“For 12 years, this survey has provided reliable data to employers so they may make informed decisions about the benefits they offer employees,” said Randall C. Horn, president and chief executive officer of Colonial Life. “We're proud that Colonial Life, through our sponsorship of this survey, is able to contribute to those efforts.”
