Picking the right supplemental wellness benefits for a workforce can be tricky. Employers have to ask themselves: What will have the most impact, and what will end up going unused?
According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, 53 million adults experience a mental health disorder each year (anxiety is the most common) and 2023 data from the American Psychological Association showed that 77% of workers said they had recently been stressed due to their job. It’s clear employers need to go beyond standard health insurance by adding benefits that help workers feel good and manage their day-to-day responsibilities. When incorporated correctly, benefits such as gym access, mindfulness resources and flexibility can improve employees’ lives.
