1. Higher costs for insurance - Even as the pace of increases
in the cost of health care has eased, prices continue to rise
2. Narrower health networks - Companies look for ways to reduce
healthcare costs, they’re increasingly narrowing the networks of providers with
whom they offer preferred rates
3. Wellness programs with more strings attached - For at least
a decade now, employers have been turning to preventative programs as a means
to keep employees healthy
4. Telemedicine services - A few years ago, employers began
offering on-site clinics to give workers cheap, easy access to healthcare for
minor afflictions
5. Automatic 401(k) features - Most companies now use
auto-enrollment to get all workers at least a little bit invested into their
401(k) plans
6. A focus on student loans - PwC made headlines earlier this
year for a new benefit under which it promised to pay up to $1,200 a year
toward its employees’ student loans
7. Help with financial planning - Student loans aren’t the only
personal finance area in which companies are offering new benefits
