Are you an HR leader or benefits specialist grappling with the rising cost of employee health benefits?
You're not alone.
Over the last few years, we've seen dramatic increases in employer-sponsored health insurance costs.
According to Mercer, here's how costs have climbed:
- 2022: Up 3.2%
- 2023: Rose 5.2%, bringing the average per-employee cost to over $15,700
- 2024: Increased another 4.5%
- 2025: Employers anticipate a 5.8% increase
📈 But here's the real issue: It's not just inflation or premium hikes. The hidden driver is the decline in employee mental, emotional, and relational resilience.
We see this every day through:
- Rising stress leave and mental health claims
- Increases in anxiety, burnout, and disengagement
- Teams struggling with poor communication and conflict
- Leaders overwhelmed with emotional reactivity and low morale
These aren't isolated issues. They are symptoms of a deeper capacity crisis:
➡️ Low mental resilience ➡️ Emotional dysregulation ➡️ Toxic communication and poor conflict resolution
And the cost? It's enormous.
Whether you're in Canada (where sick leave is protected) or the U.S. (where it's employer-driven), the cost of poor resilience shows up in:
- Paid time off
- Lost productivity
- Rising premiums
- Increased turnover
