AVON, Conn., Dec. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Similar to our previous surveys, the top six voluntary products owned in this year’s MarketVision™ - The Employee Viewpoint© Spotlight™ Report were whole/universal life, term life, accident, dental, vision, and short-term disability. Identity protection had the highest voluntary ownership in the additional-products category. Overall voluntary ownership rates for the majority of products have remained stable, with the exception of slight increases for short-term and long-term disability and long-term care, compared to our 2015 study.

In addition, among employees in businesses with 10 or more employees, 44% own at least one voluntary product, which represents a slight increase from 41% in our 2015 study. Ownership varied by employer size with the 50-99 employee segment having the highest ownership rate at 54% and the 1,000-2,499 segment having the lowest ownership rate of 39%. Compared to 2015, there were slight increases in the 500-999 and 10,000+ employee segments.

The number of voluntary products owned by those owning at least one voluntary product has remained about the same as our 2015 study. Two-thirds of employees continue to own more than one voluntary product. Employees working for businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees are more likely to own more than one voluntary product.
