Employee Wellness Programs Move to Wage Increases

What’s happening? A review of 5000 employees and 85 Business leader interviews by Harvard Business Review revealed that employee mental health, physical health and financial health wellness programs are not well received by employees.

Why is this important? If the programs offer no value to the employee, then the employee will not utilize the services. Effective programs will address what employees want and will be substantively helpful and convenient for employees.

How will this be important? in light of the high number of resignations, the highest and best use of these wellness program funds could be in wage increases.
