Most employers believe they already offer \u201cmodern\u201d benefits: According to reporting from WorldatWork<\/a>, 86% of organizations said they do. Yet, just 59% of employees agree. This disconnect exposes the gap between what employers think they deliver and the benefits people actually use. Employees judge a benefits package (including any employee benefits software you choose) by whether it\u2019s intuitive, accessible, and responsive to their real lives, not by buzzwords or nice-to-haves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That disconnect is where Compt comes in. The average salary increase<\/a> is expected to remain flat at 3.5% for 2026, and 58% of employees<\/a> say they pay out of pocket for tools and resources they wish their employer covered. Employees want personalization, flexibility, and ease, and the freedom to use their benefits in the ways that make the most sense to them. Yet, many of today\u2019s employee benefits setups don\u2019t deliver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward-thinking organizations are listening to what employees are telling them. Compt’s 2026 Annual Lifestyle Benefits Benchmark Report<\/a>, covering our customers\u2019 lifestyle benefits benchmarks from January through December 2025, shows the average stipend budget hit $850 per employee per year across all company sizes, and 64% of Compt customers now offer all-inclusive LSAs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And personalization increasingly includes everyday essentials. In 2025, nearly 1 in 10 stipend dollars<\/a> was spent at grocery retailers \u2014 a clear signal that employees are using flexible benefits to offset real-life cost pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We often hear from HR and Finance leaders (as well as benefits brokers): \u201cIf it\u2019s a reimbursement, can Compt cover it?\u201d The answer is yes because reimbursements are the foundation of modern employee benefits. It\u2019s how you deliver them that defines how your people will feel about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, all-inclusive LSAs reached 89% utilization<\/a>, showing that when flexibility is built into program design, employees actually use what you fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
