Download: 2019 Executive Benefits Survey
Drawing on our relationships across industry segments, we surveyed hundreds of companies for the benefits offered to three separate categories of executives: the CEO, senior executives and “other” executives.
Results of our survey this year, in conjunction with recent editions, suggest executive benefits continue to have a place in a competitive executive compensation package—with consideration for shareholders’ perception of benefits.

Our 260+ survey participants include companies of all size, and included several foreign owned and private companies. These companies make up:
- 33% of the the S&P 100
- 30% of the Fortune 200
- 24% of the S&P 500
To determine trends, we compared the results of our 2019 survey against our 2009 survey done a decade ago. In general, the percentage of companies offering these benefits stayed fairly consistent with a slight downward trend.
- 61% Financial planning
Financial planning continues to be the frontrunner of executive benefits, although it is down from a high of 69% a decade earlier
- 59% Executive physical exam
Physical health mirrors financial health as an important component in the executive benefit package, although with a slight 4% drop from 10 years ago
- 28% Executive life insurance
Between CEOs, senior executives and other executives, life insurance remains a strong benefit, although it has declined by 1% as an offering in the last decade
- 27% Company car or allowance
This perk suffered the largest percentage decrease over the last decade, dropping 10 percentage points from 37% to 27%
- 22% Spousal travel
Like life insurance, this benefit stayed within a percentage point over the last decade, when it surveyed at 23%
