2025 MEMBER HEALTH GOALS REPORT

Key Trends in Employee Health & Benefits

Employer-sponsored healthcare costs are projected to rise 9% in 2025, driven by inflation, rising prescription drug costs and increasing chronic conditions. While innovations like GLP-1 medications and precision medicine hold promise, they also add financial strain, forcing HR leaders to balance affordability with comprehensive care.

Our Member Health Goals survey reveals alarming trends: a 7.5x increase in cancer diagnoses and 64% of respondents with chronic risk factors. Despite this, only one-third plan to complete a physical, suggesting employees are delaying care, leading to higher long-term costs.

Cost containment alone won’t solve this crisis. Employers must focus on steerage—guiding employees to smarter healthcare choices. HealthJoy simplifies access, personalizes engagement and connects employees to high-value care, preventing minor issues from escalating into costly claims.
