( Categories : Benefits )
Americans spend less time reviewing their employee benefits than managing their taxes and preparing for the holidays, according to a survey conducted by The Guardian Life Insurance Company.

The study shows that many do not understand the basic advantages of group products such as relaxed underwriting requirements, and mistakenly believe they know the difference between group and individual coverage.
