The “Health on Demand 2023” study conducted by Mercer Marsh Benefits highlights the challenges organizations face in finding a balance between health and productivity. From the aging workforce to the need to evaluate and improve working conditions, these challenges require a comprehensive approach. These determinants imply changes in employment and work patterns that lead organizations to work on more integrated approaches to evaluate and improve working conditions under a vision where the worker is at the center to obtain greater labor prosperity, better health. mental health, work-life balance and adoption of safe and healthy behaviors.
Investing in health and well-being not only benefits employees, but also impacts a country’s competitiveness. The case of Mexico shows how life expectancy has increased considerably, but chronic diseases remain a major challenge. The Statistics of Registered Deaths highlights that 90% of deaths are related to health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes.
In this scenario, organizations must take a proactive approach. The redesign of benefit programs and attention to emotional well-being become imperative. New strategies to support all segments of the workforce are essential, breaking paradigms and addressing specific needs.
On the other hand, the “Global Talent Trends 2023” study shows how leading organizations adapt to foster retention and engagement, redefining the interaction with their employees and seeking total well-being results with approaches that allow them to build a solid foundation for transformation, even in times of uncertainty.
Leading organizations are transforming their approach to the workforce and its contribution to society. According to our Global Talent Trends research, like-minded organizations share five key characteristics: constant pursuit of relevance, innovative collaboration, holistic well-being, fostering employability, and harnessing collective energy for transformation. These priorities must be maintained despite uncertainty, to ensure the success of both companies and individuals.
In this context, it is an opportune time to consider management strategies that ensure sustainability in the short, medium and long term. This means investing intelligently in the health and well-being of employees. Some of these strategies include listening to employees to identify unmet needs, tailoring benefits to promote a sustainable lifestyle, improving access to health and wellness programs, balancing benefits programs to include all employees (especially those with lower incomes), and develop a health and well-being strategy aligned with the general business strategy.
