Today, there is both a need and a desire for employers to support the holistic health and wellbeing of their workers – and that includes their financial wellbeing. Our eBook outlines a fresh approach to wellbeing, which borrows elements from the traditional concept of ‘total rewards’ to form ‘total wellness’. We also drill down specifically on financial wellbeing: what employees are asking for and how employers can help ease the pressure.
The unique wellbeing challenges facing frontline workers
Times are tough. From the global pandemic to the current economic slump, the last four years have been likened to a state of ‘permacrisis’. The high cost-of-living is hitting frontline, deskless workers perhaps harder than anyone else. Many of these workers are in low pay, casual roles, often taking on additional shifts or working with multiple employers to make ends meet.
On top of this, many frontline workers undertake roles that already extract a heavy physical, emotional and mental toll – the most obvious example being those in aged care, healthcare and childcare.
Rethinking wellbeing benefits
Fortunately, employers have responded; research from Gartner suggests that 70% of organisations introduced new wellbeing benefits or increased existing benefits in the two years following the pandemic. Why? Because healthier employees are generally happier employees – and that means they are more engaged, more productive, and providing better customer service.
Our eBook explores the employee benefits that are resonating strongest with frontline workers.
Areas covered include:
How a total wellness approach (covering physical, emotional, mental, social, career and financial wellness) can ensure your organisation not only gets a return on reward investment, but also delivers value to your employees
How to position wellbeing benefits as a core component of your EVP
How to build a business case that articulates the potential gains to be made and aligns to your business strategy and culture
Tips for sustaining the excitement – and use of – employee wellbeing benefits over time
Targeted education, access to personalised learning and providing meaningful benefits can ultimately improve the employee experience and yield a higher ROI for your organisation. Alleviating financial stress can result in happier, more engaged workers – and that’s something every organisation is looking for.
