Recently released, Employer Benefit News highlights how employers are transforming wellness for employees, stating that, “Wellness programs that focus solely on improving employee physical health are a thing of the past. Workplace initiatives that address multiple areas of employees’ lives are the new norm.”

LinkedIn, for example, gives employees $2,000 per year to engage in the health and well-being activities that matter most to them, including child care. https://www.benefitnews.com/opinion/how-employers-are-transforming-wellness
