An individual’s personal ties to his or her community, such as home ownership, schools and proximity to family, can influence career decisions. Often, experienced workers may switch industries before they consider relocating to a different region when changing jobs. Employers looking to design competitive, valued benefits programs need to be aware of local standards and employee expectations. Ensuring that benefits match or beat regional peers may be just as important as benchmarking against industry peers. MetLife’s Benefits Benchmarking Tool divides the United States into four regions: Midwest, Northeast, South and West. Consider these examples of regional differences in benefits attitudes and offerings: Regional Attitudes 60% of employees in the South have taken steps to determine their household’s Life Insurance needs compared to 50% of employees in the West. 40% of employees in the Midwest are satisfied with their benefits compared to 47% in the South. Regional Benefits Offerings 27% of employees in the West say Disability is the most important benefit compared to 19% of employees in the Northeast. 16% of employers in the West offer Term Life insurance to retirees compared to 24% of employers in the South.
