Introduction

ERI SalaryExpert recently released its 2025 Benefits Benchmarking Survey, providing an invaluable resource to organizations in the process of building and updating competitive employee benefits packages. In addition to a comprehensive analysis of health care benefits, this eighteenth edition of the survey includes detailed sections on life and disability insurance, paid time off, retirement, and executive prerequisites. 

Benefits Benchmarking Survey

Questionnaires were designed and distributed for this eighteenth edition of the Benefits Benchmarking Survey in October 2024. Participation was solicited from employers in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, as well as government entities in the United States. Data input was collected in the period from October 1, 2024, to February 3, 2025. The requested effective date of benefits data was January 1, 2025. 

Overview

While health care will continue to be the primary and most expensive employee benefit, there are myriad other benefits to consider. Having a well-rounded and clearly communicated benefits package can give an organization an edge to both recruit and retain top talent.
