How to choose the right health and fitness benefits
Published by HealthFitness on March 22nd, 2023
A new era of fitness and wellbeing is emerging, and we all can play a role in making it easy and accessible for employees to care for their health and fitness. At HealthFitness, we have transformed our approach to supporting your hybrid workforce with on-site, digital, and all-access networks to offer equity in benefits and engage all employees.
How do you choose the right health and benefits for your employees? Let’s start with good news: With HealthFitness, you don’t have to choose — and neither do your employees!
What we’re hearing from employers
We know that companies and their benefits teams are inviting people back to the office, but things aren’t going as great as originally hoped. Employees are feeling a lot of different things — some aren’t excited about going back into the office, some are OK to go a couple days a week, and some are leaving the company in search of something different. And the latest research shows this is happening to all of us.
What do employees want?
Employees want a hybrid schedule.
Recent employer survey results show that employees aren’t returning to the office, with only 9 percent preferring to work on-site and 59 percent preferring to work a hybrid schedule. The surveys shows 32 percent would like to work exclusively remote.(1)
Employees want support for wellbeing.
And although employees prefer a hybrid schedule, they still want support for their wellbeing. According to McKinsey, 26 percent of employees listed a lack of support for health and wellbeing as a top reason for quitting. And 30 percent of employees surveyed listed adequate support for health and wellbeing as a reason to stay.(2)
Even before the pandemic, there was a growing need to meet the wellness needs of the workforce because of the positive impact on participants — with 23 percent reporting better mental health and 17 percent reporting greater physical health, resulting in better performance and retention, according to Gartner.(3)
Employees want convenience and flexibility
In a world where your employees have so many choices for moving and taking care of themselves, we’re making it easier for them — we’re not asking them to choose.
We’re meeting them where they’re at, and in ways that matter to them most. We know convenience and flexibility are important, now more than ever with hybrid environments, and that people want options with not only what activities they’re doing but with when and how as well.
We can help you offer more options to engage all employees, regardless of location, with new services — all under one contract.
Employees want community and connections
The market has changed, but our approach to serving our clients has not. HealthFitness believes in creating connections through the community. That same approach launched the genesis of HealthFitness360®.
Knowing the landscape has changed, our goal was to continue delivering the best in fitness with connection, community, and a variety of services.
A new fitness solution for a new time
Today’s employers are looking at their benefits in a new way. Employers are trying to choose the “right” benefits that provide the most value for employees, including:
