Wellness

Creating an inclusive, alcohol-free environment all year long is the first and easiest step you can take to support the overall health and wellbeing of your employees.

When you nurture a culture of wellbeing that encourages mindfulness, you can effectively help employees manage stress before it progresses to burnout.

Enhanced mental health benefits may be especially important in the wake of the pandemic and at a time of economic uncertainty, and employers should also anticipate the unexpected, says a new report from the Secret Service.

Employers who take the time to educate employees will find a happier, stronger, and more productive workforce with an overall improved company culture.

These three tactics can stop employees from underutilizing their benefits (even when preventive care is fully covered), which is a recipe for absenteeism, long-term poor health outcomes and employee resentment.

With the stress and upheaval of the pandemic still having an impact on the workplace, employers also are putting a new focus and emphasis on behavioral health, including substance use.

Even with recent layoffs and a recession looming on the horizon, employees are still in the driver's seat, which means the demand for flexible and hybrid work isn't going away, according to their report.

This can be an opportunity for employers to share practical financial wellness solutions through live seminars, video classes, training available online and face-to-face conversations.
