‘We’ve been in a firefight’: How Walmart’s benefits shifted in response to COVID

Published Updated 3 Min Read

Employers can’t ignore the long-term effects the pandemic has had over healthcare and corporate benefits and are working to expand, enhance and add new benefits that will help their employees navigate these new times.

Walmart is on the front lines of making these changes for their 1.6 million U.S. employees. The retail giant has added a number of new and updated benefits, including a virtual physical therapy program, virtual access to primary care doctors, free therapy options, a care-navigation platform tailored for the LGBTQ+ community, and doula coverage for employees based in Georgia.
