Employers expect a lot from their employees, and since the pandemic, employees have become much more vocal about the support they expect in return.
As mental health has become tied to overall employee well-being, employers are continuing to find new and innovative ways to personalize their benefits and make sure that employees at any stage of life are getting accessible care. And the need is still great: postpartum depression rates, for example, increased 30% over the course of the pandemic, according to Evernorth Research Institute. Supporting new moms means providing virtual telehealth solutions, as well as more holistic support, like flexible work schedules.
