The COVID-19 pandemic changed not only how people work but also what they value in their benefits — and there’s no denying that wellness has become one of the biggest priorities for employers and employees alike.
But have wellness benefits turned out to be a worthy investment? Gympass surveyed over 2,000 benefit leaders to answer this very question, and a majority said yes. In fact, 90% of companies believe they see a positive return on their wellness benefits, 85% said their wellness programs decreased the cost of recruitment and retention and 78% reported that their benefits saved them money on healthcare. Any investment in well-being, whether mental health, preventative or nutritional care, can make a difference, underlines Livia Martini, chief people officer at Gympass.
