Report: How Small Businesses
Can Compete and Thrive

As work and life continue to blend and unemployment remains low, the competition for employee talent is intense. Small businesses are seeking solutions to help their companies tackle the challenge of attracting and retaining employees. Strategic benefits can play a pivotal role.

MetLife's new report, The Evolving Work-Life World: How Small Businesses Can Compete and Thrive, dives into what small businesses and their employees think about benefits. The findings may be surprising.

Inside the report you'll learn:

  • The perception gap between what small business employers and employees think when it comes to current benefits. (The gap is closing.)
  • The increasing value small business employees place on benefits through the workplace. (The value jumped +13% in 2019.)
  • The gig economy factor and what small business employers should know about the implications and opportunities.

Download the report and use the insights as conversation starters with your clients and prospects. Contact us today to develop tailored benefits solutions for your clients.
