Health and wellness

Organizations are investing billions of dollars into benefits and programs that aren't improving employee health or well-being.

Medication paired with behavioral change support gives employers the opportunity to provide a more well-rounded approach to weight management.

Despite already offering unlimited paid time off, CEO Ben Goodwin wanted to ensure employees had blocked off time to recharge.

Goal setting, mental health support and program inclusivity are important elements of an effective employee wellness benefits strategy.

To effectively support employee wellness, employers need to think about nontraditional support around food, housing, transportation and more.

Benefit managers will need to modernize their strategies and offerings around well-being, caregiving and professional development to stay competitive.

By educating employees on letters of medical necessity, benefit managers can help them make their money go further.
