For years, BLR has surveyed HR and benefits professionals to find trends in benefits. We appreciate your participation in our monthly series of brief, targeted benefits surveys. Today’s survey topic: Health Insurance. (We’ll publish the results in a future issue.)

Please participate in this brief survey and we’ll determine what employers are doing with this difficult challenge. We’ll get answer to these questions and more:

  • Does your organization provide health insurance for employees? Dependents? Retirees? Part-Time employees?
  • What actions have you taken to reduce health insurance costs?
    • Raised copayment?
    • Raised deductible?
    • Offered HSA/high deductible plan?
    • Implemented wellness?
    • Other steps?.
  • Which benefits are offered?
    • Hospice care?
    • Dental care?
    • Vision care?
    • Alcoholism and or drug treatment?
    • Other benefits?
  • What is your health insurance cost per employee?
