corporate sector are most likely to offer a defined contribution (DC) plan such as a 401(k) plan, while those in the multiemployer and public employer sectors are most likely to offer a defined benefit (DB) plan.

To increase employee participation in DC plans and to assist participants with the management of their funds, many employers have introduced automatic features. The most popular features are target retirement date/lifecycle funds, offered by 54% of respondents, and automatic enrollment, offered by 39% of respondents.

These findings and others concerning employee benefits are reported in the survey titled Employee Benefits Survey: U.S. and Canada: 2009. The report contains responses from 972 respondents representing employers and benefit plans in the U.S. and Canada. Survey results are presented for four employment sectors: corporations, public employers, multiemployer benefit plans and professional service firms serving the employee benefits industry.

The survey looked at retirement plan offerings, health care benefits and other miscellaneous benefits.

  • Other popular benefits offered by respondents in general include mental health benefits (71%), vision care (64%), chiropractic coverage (61%) and orthodontia
