As Americans live longer, many of the country's workers are balancing job responsibilities with caregiving duties — contributing to higher stress, lower productivity and increased burnout.

Caregiving demands can lead to absenteeism, distraction, fatigue and scheduling conflicts, while the emotional strain of supporting loved ones may reduce engagement and increase the risk of mistakes or accidents, which can turn into costly blowback for your organization. Don't lose a key employee to this growing problem.

Individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements have attracted growing interest from employers looking for an alternative to traditional group health plans.

However, a new survey suggests that rising Affordable Care Act Marketplace premiums following the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies may become one of the biggest obstacles to broader adoption.

The U.S. Department of Labor has proposed a rule that would make electronic delivery the default for delivering many required health plan notices, a move that could significantly reduce paperwork and administrative costs for employers.

For employers, the proposal could substantially reduce the time and expense of printing, stuffing and mailing millions of required benefits notices each year. Employees may also find it easier to access important plan information on their phones or computers whenever they need it.

A new report finds that many employers believe they are doing a good job meeting workers' benefits needs, but employees often see things differently.

The findings in Aflac's "Workforces Report" highlight growing gaps in communication, financial preparedness and access to benefits information that could affect engagement and retention. The report identifies areas where employers can improve benefits delivery and increase benefit uptake and usage, which can help improve employee retention and attract new talent.

A recent survey of more than 900 men found that 42% skipped recommended medical care in the past year, while 82% said they prioritize their family's needs over their own health.

Those findings should be a wake-up call for employers. Preventive care can help identify health issues before they become serious and expensive, yet many men are delaying routine screenings, annual physicals and mental health care.

A new study has found that physicians and hospitals are winning payment disputes for planned procedures like surgeries handled through the No Surprises Act dispute resolution system with awards that are sometimes more than 100 times typical rates.

These awards are adding "tens of thousands of, or in some cases even more than one hundred thousand, dollars in excess costs" per claim, according to the study by Elevance Health. This consequence of a law that was supposed to drive down costs could raise health insurance premiums paid by employers and workers.

Employers may soon have a new way to help employees access fertility treatments without incorporating those benefits into their primary health plans.

The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services and the Treasury have proposed regulations that would create a new category of "limited excepted benefits" for fertility treatments under the Affordable Care Act. If finalized, employers could begin offering these benefits in 2027. The proposal is intended to expand access to fertility care while giving employers more flexibility in designing benefit programs.

Employers who provide group health insurance and wellness programs to their employees tend to have lower overall workers' compensation costs.

While the programs are separate, employees who have access to preventive care, chronic disease management and wellness resources are often healthier when an injury occurs. This may lead to fewer complications, faster recoveries and lower claim costs.
