Supporting employee health & wellbeing can be more difficult than it sounds…
- Utilization rates can be very low. The HR budget allocates a large proportion to health & wellness components such as an EAP or vitual health consultation services. However, staff often don’t the benefits enough to justify the large expense. On the other hand, if you get rid of the wellness programs, you’ll have staff running off to any one of the competitors’ vacancies down the virtual road.
- It’s hard to get the message through. You’ve run general wellness promotions and communications campaigns. Such promotions are usually one-way communication feauturing online Town Hall meetings, promotional posters on the walls, talking points for team meetings, and similar. Unfortunately, it’s all one-way and the message rarely really sinks in, especially since covid ushered in a much more dispersed, hybrid workforce.
- Employers try launching such as ‘walking challenges” and other activities but they tend to only skim the surface and don’t have much lasting effect.
- Some people don’t stick to their treatment plans which affect workforce attendance, staffing plans, and claims rates. It’s hard to get through to some of these people to take more preventive action.
I recently discovered a very cool solution to these problems . . .
