Economic downturns are a time when people really want to get their arms around their financial health and security. CIGNA recently completed a two-part survey¹ on individual perceptions about return-to-work topics and the value of disability insurance -- part of ongoing CIGNA research on "Health and Well-being in America."

Part I of the survey revealed that for the majority of Americans, work means a lot more to them than a paycheck to cover the bills. Most people link work and well-being, and feel unproductive, worried, and depressed when they're out of work because of an injury or illness. Workers, too, say the overall mood in the workplace has changed in the past six months, mostly for the worse.

Part II of the survey showed nearly all respondents say they value disability insurance that would help protect their income if they were out of work due to illness or injury. However, the survey also showed significant knowledge gaps existed in terms of workers' awareness of their personal need for coverage, as well as the cost of insurance through their employer. And, most workers said they are looking to employers for help and advice. Click here for our press kit that includes a copy of the survey, findings, podcast and more.

By providing access to disability insurance coverage - and offering advice to help them choose the right coverage to meet their needs - employers can not only help employees strengthen their financial security, but can also build stronger employee loyalty and trust
