With an average projected wage increase of 3.9%, employers are shifting focus toward employee well-being and taking a total rewards approach by adding benefits, says a new study.

"The war for talent has challenged organizations to shift their focus to the needs of their deskless workforce," the study says.

About a third (31%) say their employer's efforts to help with their overall health and well-being has increased in the past year, but fewer than half rate their employer's efforts in these areas as excellent or very good.

Study shows that nearly 4 in 5 employees would be happier with a 5- or 10-minute commute.

By putting the right financial wellbeing solutions in place, employers can start to alleviate the severe stressors that may exist between races, genders and other vulnerable groups – and help these people stay at your company.

The cost-of-living crisis is having a major impact on employees (particularly women, Gen-Xers, boomers, and Hispanics), says new report. Employers need to educate them about mental health and financial wellness benefits.
