After the offers of health and prevention programs by companies around the world became one of the most necessary benefits since the start of the pandemic, in the coming years, organizations will seek to implement improvements in this service.
According to a recent report by the global insurance and consulting firm Marsh, 46% of companies anticipate greater investment in medical insurance within their long-term benefit plan.
“Although it was already on the corporate agenda before the pandemic, in terms of investment, health and well-being for workers has taken on greater importance in recent years,” says Akio Murakami, central manager of Health and Benefits at Marsh.
Social welfare and benefits
Social benefits are another of the services that will boost companies in the coming years. Thus, 28% of the organizations would establish higher amounts for ethical and social benefits.
“Among these benefits are providing a good work environment, promoting physical activity, paying attention to mental health, creating a good organizational climate and increasing the listening channels for your collaborators,” Marsh details.
Employee evaluation
Marsh research, in which 500 companies around the world participated, also details that support from employers, especially for the health aspect in times of pandemic, is highly valued by workers.
In that sense, 62% of surveyed employees reported having received good or very good support during the pandemic and feel that their employer cares about their health and well-being; while 77% feel energized at work and 44% are less likely to leave their job.
