The State of Lifestyle Benefits Report

Learn employee spending habits and preferences by top categories, vendors, and regions.

 
 

Let's be real. 

The office pizza parties and branded thermo mugs just aren't cutting it anymore. 

Sure, companies are offering more benefits than ever before, but they still often miss the mark on what truly matters to their employees. Pro tip: it's NOT a company mousepad (CRINGE).

In our 2024 Lifestyle Benefit Benchmarking Report, we share real data from real companies across a variety of industries that have shifted to personalized Lifestyle Spending Accounts.

Unlock Fascinating Employee Benefit Statistics

 
 

This is the average program budget by region in the US.->

Take a look at the Midwest and you'll see a stark budget gap compared to the Northeast; we're talking an excess of $1,000! Of course, this reflects the broader economy, a lower cost of living, and varying benefits. But it still raises a critical question in today's hybrid work environment: how can regions with lower benefits compete for top talent?

 
 
 

<-Check out the 10 most popular vendors by amount spent.

While big names like Amazon, Walmart, and Kroger constitute 27% of where money was spent, a whopping 73% came from 70,000+ other vendors. This highlights the real power of personalized and community-focused choices. Plus, it supports regular spending habits in a more meaningful way!

 
 
 

What is the average claim size per category? Glad you asked. ->

Despite food and health & wellness being popular spending categories (no surprise there), their average claim amounts are less. So where are people spending those valuable stipend dollars? Caregiving claims are at the top, with an average of $203 claim size, proving stipends reach beyond the employee and can support their loved ones, too.

The excitement is real!

HR leaders are discovering a wealth of strategic wisdom within

the State of Lifestyle Benefits report.

As an HR advisor to Series A to C companies, I actively seek cost-effective benefit solutions that enhance remote culture and attract diverse talent. It's great to see that a more inclusive stipend with multiple spending categories not only reduces overall costs but also results in happier employees and higher utilization. Companies can invest in fewer individual stipends, creating a more comprehensive, cost-effective approach from the outset when looking to optimize their benefits programs."

One of the biggest misconceptions I think small business owners have is that they cannot afford to offer benefits, especially not a variety of benefits that all of their employees might value and/or utilize. This report clearly shows that employees across all of the companies on the platform have a wide variety of needs and wants. With the right mix of offerings, you can make a lot of people inside your company happy with your benefits."
