Shortlister<\/a> recently released their Well-being Industry Prospectus 2017<\/a>, a report on employee wellness trends. They surveyed well-being subject-matter experts at the nation\u2019s top employee benefits consultants to get their take on the state of the wellness industry. \u00a0The entire report is certainly worth downloading and reviewing in its entirety, but if you are short on time, below are some of the key highlights.<\/p>\n

\"6<\/p>\n

The biggest trend is the shift toward total well-being initiatives from the heavy focus on just physical health; mental and financial wellness are also important factors in well-being. \u00a0The survey found that financial wellness is experiencing the greatest demand relative to other wellness offerings.\u00a0 This shift in focus aligns with the change in perspective that finds employers increasingly viewing employee health as critical to business success. \u00a0Companies are also moving away from antiquated carrier solutions or ones with limited mobile capabilities to feature-rich platforms with mobile apps and device integrations.<\/p>\n

Per the survey, biometric screenings and health assessments are still two must-haves for employers despite the overwhelming research<\/a> that suggests that these too should fall by the wayside.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the report clearly shows that employee wellness is important, and it is here to stay.\u00a0 The more employers take care of their staff, the more they grow the business.\u00a0 Investing in employee health is no longer a \u201cnice to have\u201d, it is a \u201cmust have\u201d for success.<\/p>\n
