Opportunities From The Pandemic

Putting employee well-being front and center

The pandemic has been a catalyst for employers to show how much they value their employees — to acknowledge their challenges and meet their needs accordingly. Many rose to the occasion, with 78% of workers saying that they felt their companies responded to the crisis appropriately.

However, understanding employees’ needs and creating strategies to meet those needs should be a constant practice, not something that is reactionary or occasional. 

With HR departments bearing the brunt of the workload in executing staffing changes, new workplace procedures and a possible virtual open enrollment season, the administrative burden is a critical consideration. The challenge is to balance benefits programs that enhance employee well-being with budget and executional realities. Doing so means higher productivity and more success for businesses.
