Employers Scale Back on Family Leave and FSAs

(From SHRM) The 2025 SHRM Employee Benefits Survey highlights a shift in employer priorities, with some benefits seeing a noticeable decline. While employers continue to value family care and paid leave, fewer now offer paid leave for immediate (31%) and extended family (17%) compared to 2024. Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) are also declining: medical FSAs dropped to 60% (from 63% in 2024), and dependent care FSAs to 54% (from 58%). These changes reflect evolving priorities in employee benefits.
