We know CFOs have increasingly been paying attention to the relationship between benefits and productivity. The IBI’s CFO survey, released this month, confirms this. More than two-thirds of 313 CFOs interviewed believe health is a cultural or financial priority in their organizations. Here are some other key findings:
- A large share of the 313 CFOs surveyed described poor health as having a significant impact on financial success through factors that influence productivity, such as opportunity costs, sick leave and turnover.
- CFOs understand that workforce productivity impacts financial performance, with 45 percent calling it one of the most important factors.
- As to the impact of health on workforce productivity, 30% of CFOs rated health as a very important contributor, with an additional 62% rating it as moderately important.
- Eight in 10 CFOs reported that they play a role in their organizations’ healthcare benefits decisions.
