In the ever-evolving landscape of employee benefits, the demand for disability insurance (DI) has surged 9% year-over-year, making it the fasted-growing benefit. In fact, 60% of employees now consider disability insurance a “must-have” benefit, second only to medical insurance.
Now more than ever, inclusive benefits packages are essential. It’s worth noting that employees from historically marginalized backgrounds, such as women, Black and Hispanic employees, and LGBTQIA+ community members, are more likely to consider DI indispensable. And employees with DI are 26% more likely to view their benefits package as inclusive.
Despite this increased demand, there remains a significant gap between interest and access. Currently, only 35% of employees have access to DI, down from 58% in 2019. What’s more, less than 3 in 5 employees are satisfied with their benefits that allow them to take time away from work, which hinders their ability to balance their professional and personal lives.
This “must-have” benefits gap directly impacts talent management. Employees with access to DI report greater benefits satisfaction, improved financial and mental health, and enhanced loyalty, compared to employees without access to DI.
In today’s competitive job market, a healthy work-life balance is critical and benefits that enable employees to take time away from work have never been more essential. Offering these benefits not only boosts recruitment, retention, engagement, and loyalty but also gives your clients a competitive advantage. Learn more.
Don’t miss this opportunity to offer valuable DI coverage and help your clients demonstrate their commitment to the well-being of their employees, thereby fostering a more loyal and productive workforce.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) health plan affordability threshold for 2024 at 8.39%, a significant decrease from the 2023 figure of 9.12%.
The threshold is used in determining if Applicable Large Employers (ALE’s) health plans are considered affordable under the ACA employer mandate. This requirement does not apply to non-ALE businesses.
This is a significant reduction in the affordability threshold. Your ALE clients should be aware of the change, and may need to make changes to their health plan’s 2024 employee contribution in order to remain compliant.
For details, visit SHRM and Woodruff Sawyer, and the IRS website.
