Help businesses protect what matters most
Looking for conversation starters? In the latest Business Owner Insights survey conducted by Dynata, we asked 1,020 owners of small and midsize businesses how they’re prioritizing plans for their business and employees.
The results provided a snapshot of what’s important to them and the plans they have in place today. Here are some of the key findings:
- Business protection is their no. 1 priority – and has been since 2010.
- Voluntary benefits received highest ranking since inception of survey in 2008.
- 7 in 10 owners say employee benefits improve retention, recruiting, and productivity.
- 6 in 10 owners say they’d like to offer additional employee benefits.
- 98% have key employees, and 46% want to offer more key employee benefits.
- A need for more capital, being too busy, and not sure where to start are what keeps owners from planning for the financial health of their business.
