As Employees Fund And Select More Of Their Own Benefits, New MetLife Study Shows That Many Eagerly Anticipate Fall "Open Enrollment" Season

At a time when competitive pressures have forced companies to shift the financial burden for healthcare and other employee benefits from "employer" to "employee," MetLife's 2006 Study of Open Enrollment Benefits Trends shows that a majority of workers look forward to their company's Fall benefits open enrollment period. The survey reveals that most (43%) employees say their company's open enrollment period makes them feel "responsible" - like a good protector. Few employees indicate that they feel "detached" (6%), "annoyed" (3%) or "overburdened" (4%) by the selection process. And, two-thirds (66%) believe the cost of benefits offered by their employer are less expensive than if bought on an individual basis.
