While labor groups demanded cost of living increases amid the pandemic, HR newcomer Talika Johnson convinced them contributions toward retirement savings would be of greater benefit to employees.

Considering that the vast majority of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and 40% struggle to cover a $400 emergency expense, it’s no wonder why so many individuals consider themselves functionally uninsured despite being covered by an employer’s health plan.

Digital mental health services are key tools in addressing and supporting the wellbeing of employees in a way that promotes self-care, increases engagement and promises reliable, remote and private accessibility.
