According to a LinkedIn WorkForce Learning Report, 94% of people would stay with their current employer longer if the organization prioritized their learning and career development.

With more than half (52%) of Americans either actively looking for a job or expect to be in the next six months, employers should increase paychecks, provide training opportunities or emphasize mental health, says a new study.

Twenty-seven percent of large employers reported they added behavioral health care providers to their plan's network this year but only 44% say they have enough providers to meet worker demand, says a survey.

Failing to take advantage of basic health plan benefits, like screenings and wellness check-ups that are usually free or come with a low co-pay, indicates that employees do not understand their benefits and need help, says a new survey.

"Employers are highly focused on supporting the mental health of their employees, especially as they look to retain and engage talent," says Erin Terkoski Young, senior director for WTW's Health, Equity & Well-being practice.

Since 60% of employees struggle to use all their paid time off, companies can repurpose it into other benefits employees want (HSAs or student loan payments), create employee emergency funds, or provide early wage access.
