There are plenty of surveys that ask how employees feel about benefits packages.  The numbers vary between industries and surveys, but they are all very similar and they all say employees think healthcare is an important reason they choose a new employer or stay with an existing one.  Here is a compilation of some of the various survey’s found online:

• Over 70% of employees say they will stay with (or leave) an employer because of healthcare
• Over 80% of millennials believe healthcare benefits are an essential part of compensation
• Nearly 70% of employees say benefits are a critical factor when choosing a job
• Over 60% of employees would take a lower paying job if it offers robust benefits
• Over 70% of employees say a better benefits package would increase their happiness

Again, this generalizes many of the statistics available on-line, but they all point to one thing, employees place a very high value on health insurance.
