Grassroots Well-Being that makes your employees feel supported and drives healthy behavior change
Let's Talk
Health & Well-Being
At PartnerComm, we work with many organizations who invest in the overall health and well-being of their employees. These companies focus on their employees both inside and outside the office, and they're most successful in cultivating a trusting culture that people want to become and remain a part of. In doing so, they focus on a good health and well-being strategy that includes both physical health and emotional health, as well as promoting healthy living with a work-life balance and financial well-being.
Why are employees' health and well-being benefits important?
Employee health and well-being benefits are crucial for several reasons. Here are just a few reasons why prioritizing employee health and well-being benefits not only aids and benefits individual employees but also contributes to the overall success and sustainability of the organization.
01.
As an employer, you want to hire candidates who will join the company, become a part of the culture, be successful and plan to stay at your organization for the long term. Attracting and retaining talent can be difficult, so in order to do so, you must let your employees know you care and that you have their backs. They need to feel a sense of belonging in the workplace. Let them know you’re there for them.
02.
A health and well-being program can be a great way to do this and engage your employees in the company culture. Things like health challenges, company well-being events and resources will help get your employees engaged and involved.
03.
But more and more, companies are seeing that physical and social well-being is not always the top concern of some employees. In today's times, emotional well-being has become a large focus to employers and rightfully so. Based on a CDC Pulse Survey, in November 2020, 37% of U.S. adults reported symptoms of anxiety and depression, compared to 8.2% of adults in January-June of 2019.
04.
With employees feeling isolated, exhausted and overwhelmed, they are struggling with the well-being happiness factor more than ever before. They are struggling with this new normal. Now more than ever, health and well-being benefits are indispensable.
Fun Fact!
Why is health & well-being important?
Did you know that companies with strong employee health and wellness programs often see a "happiness dividend"? Research has shown that employees who are happy and satisfied with their workplace benefits are more likely to spread positive word-of-mouth about their employer. This can lead to enhanced employer branding and reputation making it easier to attract top talent in the future. So, investing in employee health and well-being benefits not only improves the lives of current employees but can also have ripple effects that benefit the company's reputation and recruitment efforts.

An Employee Benefits Health and Well-Being Communication Example
PartnerComm was asked to help create an innovative strategy to communicate emotional health during this difficult time when people are struggling more than ever. We decided to communicate a feeling-focused message by saying, "it's OK to not be OK." This term is used often and not necessarily original, but our creative team decided to combine this phrase with art and shapes and tie this message together by saying "life comes in lots of shapes and sizes." We wanted employees to know that the company understands a lot of times life can be overwhelming and it's OK to not be OK.
