Let’s talk about the financial concerns of women and how they differ from men. Did you know that LIMRA's January 2025 Consumer Sentiment Study found that 4 in 10 women are feeling high levels of stress about their household finances? That's 11 percentage points higher than men. It’s quite a difference. The 2025 Insurance Barometer Study even shows that women worry more about saving for retirement, emergency funds, long-term care expenses, and supporting themselves if they can't work due to illness or injury. Life Happens LIMRA's 2024 BEAT Study highlights that improving women's perception and understanding of their benefits can lead to a more satisfied and financially well female workforce. As Women's History Month comes to a close, our industry can help employers enhance their educational efforts. Tailored benefits, better communication, and a culture of well-being can lead to happier and more engaged female employees. What do you think? How can employers help women better take full advantage of their benefits? #WomensHistoryMonth #WorkplaceBenefits #FinancialConcerns
