Employer Benefits Survey
Employer Benefits Survey
Benchmark Benefits. Compete for Talent. Make Smarter Workforce Decisions.
Accurate data on employee benefits is essential for attracting and retaining talent in Nevada’s competitive labor market. Employers that rely on outdated or national averages often struggle with turnover, rising benefit costs, and uncompetitive offers.
The Nevada Association of Employers (NAE) Employer Benefits Survey provides Nevada-specific data on benefits, workplace practices, and total compensation so employers can make informed, market-aligned decisions.
This survey is available to both NAE members and non-members, with discounted pricing for members and participating employers.
What Is the Employer Benefits Survey?
Each year, NAE’s survey specialists collect and analyze data from employers across Nevada to provide current insight into how organizations design and deliver their benefits packages.
The survey captures information on:
- Health insurance plans and employer contribution levels
- Dental, vision, and supplemental insurance
- Retirement plans and employer matching
- Paid time off, sick leave, and Nevada paid leave policies
- Holidays and floating holidays
- Bonuses, incentives, and variable pay
- Remote work, flexible scheduling, and hybrid benefits
- HR policies and workforce practices
This data allows employers to evaluate how their benefits compare to competitors in the Nevada market.
Why Benefits Benchmarking Matters
Employee benefits are one of the most powerful drivers of recruitment, retention, and engagement. Without accurate benchmarking, employers may overpay, underpay, or offer benefits that no longer meet employee expectations.
The Employer Benefits Survey helps employers:
- Remain competitive in hiring and retention
- Control rising benefit costs
- Support pay equity and compliance initiatives
- Evaluate health, retirement, and leave offerings
- Plan benefit renewals and budgets
- Improve employee satisfaction and morale
Having access to reliable Nevada-specific data allows leadership teams to make confident, defensible decisions.
How Employers Use the Survey Results
NAE members and survey participants use the Employer Benefits Survey to:
- Set competitive benefit packages for new hires
- Evaluate existing benefit plans and vendors
- Support internal equity reviews
- Respond to employee benefit concerns
- Plan for annual open enrollment
- Support long-term workforce planning
Because the data reflects actual Nevada employers, it is far more accurate than national averages or generic compensation tools.
