MetLife Study of International Employee Benefits Trends

U.K. employees have long used company pensions and insurance to supplement government benefits, but as national programs feel the strain of changing demographics, employee benefits could take on a new level of importance.

While a majority of U.K. companies offer their employees pensions (94%), private medical insurance (82%) and life assurance (66%), few employers have sought to differentiate themselves by expanding benefits beyond this minimum.

Steady economic growth and the prospects of a shrinking workforce are increasing the possibility of future labor shortages. With the competition for skilled workers already heating up, U.K. employers and employees alike might soon be taking a fresh look at benefits as a way to recruit and retain top talent.
