Employee wellbeing is being tested like never before. Burnout, substance use challenges, and unexpected personal crises are putting pressure on both employees and the HR teams that support them. As a result, forward-thinking organizations are reimagining their benefits strategies to go beyond prevention — creating systems of care that offer meaningful support when life becomes overwhelming.
From flexible PTO and sabbatical programs to expanded mental health and recovery benefits, HR leaders are broadening what wellbeing looks like in the workplace.
