LIMRA put together a graph that displays how much employees value certain employee benefits compared to how important those same benefits offerings are to employers.

The largest gap between how employers and employees rate the importance of various benefits offerings is with regard to career advancement opportunities, which is perhaps intuitive given that employers tend to be more concerned with getting a job done than who is doing it or what their specific motivation may be, while employees often have ambitions outside of the scope of their current work role. 

Emergency Savings benefits, with a 19 point gap, and Health and Wellness benefits, with an 18% gap, however, may represent some degree of blindspot in many employer’s perceptions of these issues that they may be well served to address.

You can find that graphic here.
