Can Health Benefits Set You Apart? Three Often Overlooked Strategies for Keeping Your Workforce Healthy and Happy
Much more than ever is being asked of employers in terms of the workplace benefits they offer—including health benefits. Fidelity Health’s latest research uncovers ways employers can help employees stay healthy and productive while controlling costs. Based on new research that combines sentiment from benefit leaders, employees, and the doctors that care for them, this session will discuss the strategies that can move the needle on employee health.
Learning goals:
• Better understand the diversity of mental health needs and learn what mental health professionals think about employer health benefits.
• Recognize the value of benefit combinations that foster whole person well-being and diversity equity and inclusion.
• Develop a new tool for recruitment by providing planning guidance for employees to make a soft landing into retirement.
