In today’s labor market, HR leaders are delicately balancing the need for differentiated benefits to attract talent and improve employee health and wellbeing—all done with a fixed budget.
In this special episode of the HR Works Podcast, done in collaboration with the EX Program, we speak with two members of the Health and Wellbeing team at Shape Corp., a Michigan-based tier-one automotive supplier. Here, Holly Severance, Health & Wellbeing Manager, and Erica Phelps, RD, Health and Wellness Specialist, share which employee benefits and incentives they are using to attract talent, retain their current workforce, and improve employee health.
We then spend time with the EX Program’s Managing Director of Client Success Lauren Higgins to learn about the latest changes in benefit offerings to support tobacco addiction. She also discusses how HR leaders can identify when they need to make room for tobacco cessation programs within their benefits budgets.
For additional insights into the best employee benefits to improve employee health and wellbeing, see our blogs Care About Employee Mental Health?
