2025 Midyear Lifestyle Benefits Benchmark Report

We’ve wrapped up our midyear analysis, and the data is pretty encouraging. Even with reduced budgets, companies like yours are finding creative ways to support their people, and employees are responding in ways that might surprise you.

While HR wrestles with vendor contracts and point solutions, 58% of employees are already paying out-of-pocket for tools, wellness support, and development they wish their employer provided. Smart organizations are responding by consolidating resources and focusing on benefits that make a real difference in employees’ lives.

What you’ll find in the report:

• Real employee usage data from the first half of 2025
• Why quarterly distribution beats every other cadence by a mile
• How much companies are spending by size and region
• The tax implications on flexible benefits you should know about

This is your roadmap to building a people-first benefits strategy that works within your budget constraints, and is backed by actual usage data from the first half of 2025.
