Surveys
The American Benefits Council, frequently under the auspices of the American Benefits Institute (the Council's research and education affiliate), regularly sponsors surveys of its membership and the general population to gather data on the latest trends in employee benefits. We are pleased to work collaboratively with other groups that possess specific expertise to design and distribute effective survey tools.
This data is used to expand and share our knowledge with the public and policymakers and helps to shape and support our advocacy efforts. For more information on the Council's survey efforts, contact Jason Hammersla, Council director, communications, at (202) 289-6700.
