Today’s workforce looks a lot different than it did many decades ago. In the past, most employers took a dispassionate approach to managing their staff, often citing the old adage, “You’re lucky to have a job!”
But as businesses continued to modernize, we saw that employers who take an active role in supporting their employees’ overall health and wellbeing are much more prosperous. It’s undeniable: companies who provide their employees a positive work-life balance ultimately translates into a company’s enduring success (i.e. Microsoft is at the top of the 2020 list: “The culture is all about learning, growing and working together to deliver the company’s mission,” according to Glassdoor.ca).
As the definitions of health and wellbeing broaden, there is a better understanding and recognition that mental health as integral to physical health. To help our clients build and implement good practices, Green Benefits Group recommends a variety of health-based solutions.
