Empowering Your Employees with Wellbeing
12/06/19 • 53 min
When speaking with employers across Connecticut, the country and globally, we often find that employee wellbeing is something they plan to focus on in the near future but are admittedly slow to implement because they don’t feel equipped to address it properly and successfully. Often unsure what their role should be or how to define wellbeing, employers avoid confronting these issues head on.
Meanwhile, 75% of employees say they want their employers to champion their wellbeing in the workplace. Sara Tarca, Workforce Health Consultant, joins us on this episode to talk about how employers can get the most out of their health and wellbeing resources and truly make wellbeing part of their overall engagement and business strategy. Topics discussed include the transition from wellness to wellbeing, making the business case for a wellbeing strategy, the impact on productivity and performance and more.

But what benefits do these new generations that are just now entering the market, really want?
We've decided to go straight to the source for this bonus episode and poll our Millennial employees (and a GenZ-er) on what they want from employers. From an engaging culture to year-round performance reviews and student loan repayment benefits, we uncovered what the younger Millennial's and Generation Z-er's in the marketplace are looking for when applying to a job.
