6 ways technology can boost employee well-being

Published 1 Min Read

When the move to the virtual workforce was made, employers turned to technology to address their employees’ wellness and productivity.

Throughout the pandemic, employers launched a number of new benefit programs to support employees dealing with the pressure of balancing remote work and their personal lives. Technology has continued to play a huge role in maintaining that balance.

Virtual family health platform Ovia Health has partnered with hospitality and entertainment company MGM Resorts International on an employee benefit specifically designed for high risk pregnancies.

“We’ve noticed there’s been a significant portion of prenatal visits that have moved online or been canceled throughout this pandemic,” says Gina Nebesar, Ovia Health co-founder and chief product officer. “MGM was really excited to introduce this as a way to continue to support people in between those appointments, help them understand their risks and seek care.”
