Biotech and pharma professionals may be more likely than employees in other industries to stay in jobs just for health insurance benefits, based on a BioSpace LinkedIn poll and West Health-Gallup Center joint study. The new study found that 24% of U.S. workers are keeping their current roles despite wanting to move on because they’re afraid to lose their health insurance. Blair added that biopharma professionals are well versed in healthcare and their own health, making them more forward thinking where insurance is concerned. “That’s not really the attitude of people who work in biopharma,” Blair said. He’s not alone in noting that health insurance benefits can influence whether biotech or pharma professionals stick around in their roles.
