This year has been marked by a sense of stabilization within the economy, as stock markets surge, inflation begins to cool, and unemployment rates remain at historically low levels. Yet a new survey from Betterment at Work found that while the majority of workers feel confident about their financial futures — namely, saving for retirement — they remain heavily anxious about their day-to-day financial reality, thus impacting their ability to focus at work.

The workers' compensation market appears to be finding its equilibrium after the significant disruptions of recent years.

Each generation of workers has their own financial wellness priorities as they move through different chapters of life. And while companies can't guarantee that their benefits will address the specific needs of every individual employee, they can implement offerings that are impactful for every generation. To do this, employers need to first understand what's important to employees, rather than assuming their priorities.

With more young people joining the workforce, companies are increasingly finding that they need to improve their benefits to stay competitive. This is especially true for the construction industry, which ranks far below many other industries in terms of benefits offered, according to a recent study from international telecom provider TollFreeForwarding.com.
