About Employee Wellness

Why Companies Should Care

I've worked on many employee wellness initiatives before, but one will always stand out. I will never forget what it felt like to have more than half the office list the wellness program or one of its initiatives as the highlight of their year!Already, 53% of companies with 3-200 employees in the USA had a wellness program in 2020; 81% of 200+ employee firms did (KFF Kaiser Family Foundation, 2020). If your company doesn't support well-being they will find it hard to attract and retain the best talent. I'm on a mission to help 100% of companies support their people's well-being.Working for a company that cares about employee well-being is ranked in the top three criteria for all generations when asked what they look for in a potential employer. For Millennials and Gen Zs, it is the number one criterion (Morgan, 2021).It isn't too late to start with your first employee wellness program.
