Employees want to contain benefits costs

The Sanofi Canada Healthcare Survey is in its 15th year and Trica Benn, senior director, Rogers Connect market research, who has worked on the survey for almost as long, says the biggest surprise to employers is the employees’ sense of obligation to control costs and participate in workplace wellness initiatives.

“The shift has been tremendous,” says Benn. Employees are much more interested in healthcare management and accepting help from employers and allowing them to get involved in their health.
