Organizations continue to focus on helping employees improve their overall well-being, which in turn can positively impact productivity and costs. The key to realizing the value of this focus is an engaged population, yet despite best intentions and large investments, many employers still face low benefits utilization.
According to a recent Health Advocate survey of HR professionals, top approaches to maximize employee engagement in benefits include ongoing communications, events and meetings, and health savings account contributions, however mobile and social media usage is increasing. Despite the growing reliance on technology-based tools, 82 percent of respondents also indicated that incorporating high-touch support services helps employees more effectively navigate their health and wellness benefits.
