Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there has been an increased focus on employee wellness, with many associations improving their well-being offerings and benefits.

“Rather than creating a new program, HR can focus on communicating the resources and supports that are already available to promote uptake,” said Grace Ewles, manager, HR research and advisory services, at McLean & Company. “HR needs to encourage leaders to role model well-being behaviors—encouraging employees to take sick days when needed—and reinforce social norms that support work-life boundaries, such as minimizing after-hours communication.”
