Aon 2022 Benefits Survey of Hospitals

Our Survey

Now in its seventeenth year, the Benefits Survey of Hospitals provides crucial benchmarking and trend information that hospital executives need to offer a more attractive benefits package and manage their employer-sponsored health plans.

This year’s survey highlights strategic benefits and wellbeing priorities and tactics in response to labor shortages and shifting workforce expectations.

The 2022 survey covers the entire United States and provides key findings for:

145+
health systems

1,200+
hospitals

2.6+
million employees

Key Areas of Concern

  • Health system employers continue to find ways to adapt and be nimble in this challenging environment
  • Attraction and retention of talent is the top strategic priority for health systems. Employee health, wellbeing and resilience are priority—and certainly an important tactic to retain talent and ensure that employees thrive, in the workplace and out. Cost management has continued to fall in priority over the last two years, while member satisfaction with the health plan has gained increased importance
  • Notably, 89% of health systems are concerned with employees understanding the value of their benefits
