Captive Review Employee Benefits Survey 2026

The use of captive insurance in employee benefits programmes continues to evolve, as organisations seek greater control, efficiency and insight across their global benefits strategies.

Against a backdrop of rising healthcare costs, increasing regulatory complexity and growing demand for data transparency, captives are playing an increasingly important role in how multinational companies finance and manage employee benefit risks.

Ahead of upcoming industry discussions and ongoing coverage of the captive and employee benefits market, Captive Review is conducting a survey to gain insights into the views of practitioners active in this space.

In line with our commitment to reporting on emerging trends in risk financing and employee benefits, the responses to this survey will inform our editorial coverage and analysis.

The results will be published in an upcoming report and related content.
