Employers must take actionable steps to prove to their workforce that equality is a core part of their company culture.

Workplace norms are still rooted in traditional gender roles, and it’s up to employers to put a stop to the stigmas and stereotypes surrounding working mothers.

Creating equality is about how benefits are presented, not just what is offered.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated employees' physical pain and employers' healthcare costs.

“The best training is doing,” says Tami Simon, corporate consulting leader for the employee benefits consulting firm Segal.

“Financial wellness is front and center [for employers], so the partnership between Betterment and Lumity made perfect sense,” says Amit Ahluwalia, Lumity’s national employee benefits practice leader.

The PERKS Marketplace lets employees shop for childcare services, massages and virtual therapy, fitness classes and even team building experiences.

Over 30% of Hubspot’s employees have been actively utilizing the Modern Health benefit since it was rolled out earlier this year.

“Now is the time for employers to review their offerings to ensure they meet market expectations,” says Karen Fichuk, CEO of Randstad North America.

"It's our mission and responsibility to change hiring, for good,” says Modern Hire CEO Karin Borchert.
