NASHVILLE, TN – May 4, 2021 – Mployer Advisor, the leading independent platform for employers to research, review and evaluate insurance brokers, announced the release of Mployer Insights, an industry-first benchmarking product that provides employers and top insurance advisors micro-targeted benefit benchmarking analytics. Mployer Insights compares an employer’s benefit offering against their peers and competitors within their company size, industry and geography, evaluating over 125 different benefit design options including:

  • Medical Benefits
  • Short- & Long-Term Disability
  • Life Insurance
  • Sick, Vacation & Holiday Leave
  • Retirement & Financial Incentives
  • Employee Prioritization

Combining proprietary benefit utilization statistical modeling, with the industry’s largest benefit design and use database, Mployer Insights now enables employers and insurance advisors to understand if their benefit offering is truly a competitive advantage.

Companies invest and spend over $1T on employee benefits each year. Finally, employers have a way to compare their benefit package against others in the market to understand if their benefits are truly a competitive advantage. Mployer Insights is the first analytical tool for employers that provides actionable, micro-targeted information comparing an employer to peers and competitors in their industry, size range and geography. Our intent is to help employers not just attract and retain, but also to motivate and engage their employees with benefits that align to their mission and values,” said Brian Freeman, CEO of Mployer Advisor.

Mployer Insights enables by both employers and insurance advisors to bring greater transparency to the benefit design and buying process—fostering greater trust and confidence across the benefit spectrum. Mployer Insights allows an employer to compare their benefit offering inside of their specific geography, segmented by their industry and employer size. These analytics are designed to be shared with employees so that they can understand and value the benefits provided by their employer, compared to other companies in the same industry, geography and size.

"For employers across the country, Mployer Insights provides a new vehicle for employers and brokers to communicate and understand a benefit plan’s value against the market. This will greatly simplify what has historically been a very complex and opaque process,” said Anthony Waters, SVP of Sales at Mployer Advisor.

2026 Benefits State of the Union: High-Cost Drugs and What They Mean for Your Health Plan
According to Mployer Insights’ 2026 analysis of 50,000+ employer health plans, prescription drugs account for over 25% of total benefit expenses, with Tier 4 specialty drugs driving the majority of high-cost claims. While Tier 4 copays average $123 with coinsurance requirements in 31% of plans, individual oncology therapies like Darzalex Faspro ($170,800/yr) and Keytruda ($158,200/yr) frequently exceed average individual stop-loss deductibles ($141,938). To mitigate exposure, self-funded employers are increasingly turning to independent, transparent PBM models and biosimilar substitution—which yields up to a 73% net cost reduction per patient.
2026 Benefits State of the Union: Leave Benefits Part 2 of 2: Maternity, Parental & Family-Building Benefits
Most U.S. employers now offer paid maternity leave beyond the legal minimum, but coverage varies widely once you look past the basics. According to Mployer Insights' 2026 analysis of more than 50,000 employer benefit plans, 68% of employers provide paid maternity leave on top of short-term disability, typically adding 8 extra weeks, and half now cover 100% of salary during the disability period. Support drops off from there: only 41% of employers offer paid bonding leave for non-birth parents, and advanced family-building benefits remain even less common, with just 28% covering IVF and 11% offering adoption financial assistance. The data suggests that while baseline maternity leave has become standard, more comprehensive family-building support is still the exception rather than the norm.
