Employers and employee benefits administrations shifted communication and financial resources to other areas of the business during the recession, but a recent survey found that informing employees on current offerings is increasing with the economy.

In MetLife's 11th Annual Study of Employee Benefits Trends, [three out of five employees](http://benefittrends.metlife.com/) reported that their company's benefits were the reason why they stayed at their current position. Of the 1,422 workers polled, 54 percent wished their company offered a greater array to choose from and 61 percent said that having more tailored benefits would make them more loyal and increase job satisfaction. The survey interviewed 1,503 insurance decision-makers, with 58 percent saying that providing voluntary benefits, including dental, vision and disability insurance, was part of their employee assistance strategy.

Previous studies indicated that [employers were failing at communicating](http://www.hrmorning.com/why-arent-firms-doing-a-better-job-of-talking-to-employees/) with employees before and after their open-enrollment period. However, the new poll found businesses were increasing one-on-one meetings, updating their websites and sending ongoing information to keep workers educated on their current benefits. As communication between employers and employees continues to strengthen, a greater variety of benefit options will become available and job satisfaction will increase.
