I have an idea that I believe is patentable that I've been sitting on for several years. I came up with the idea while working for a previous employer, but not in the context of my job (I was thinking how to solve a need in my personal life).

I have never pursued patents (on this idea, nor any other). Would there be any benefit to me to disclose this idea to my current employer as a potentially patentable idea? I have no intention of pursuing a patent on my own. I may intend to actually implement the idea on my own (to solve my own needs), not in context of a business.
