Leveraging digital health care to boost retention and recruiting

Employers should consider investing in comprehensive digital health care solutions that provide customizable benefits plans that are organized and user-friendly.

Workers around the country are leaving their jobs in record numbers causing turnover rates to spike. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the approximate total number of resignations this June reached 3.9 million. While many factors play a role in why people have decided to look elsewhere for employment – some people are still reluctant to go back to the office due to COVID, others may be looking for a career change – arguably the most important reason is the pandemic’s long-lasting effect on all of our lives. It changed the way we work, communicate, and especially the way we think about our physical and mental health.

Indeed’s hiring lab shows that job postings are higher than they were before the pandemic started, suggesting that many workers are leaving due to the wide range of job opportunities out in the labor market right now. One simple reason is that people are expecting more from their employers. The pandemic caused many employees to reevaluate their lives and focus more on overall happiness and wellbeing. With such a wide variety of employment opportunities, why not work a gratifying job for a company that puts its employees first and takes care of you?
