Holistic Employee Well Being

Are employers beginning to become more employee centric? To that end, workplace wellness programs are experiencing a notable surge, reflecting a commitment to employee health that extends beyond the paycheck and traditional health benefits. It seems organizations are beginning to increasingly prioritize comprehensive well-being—30% of U.S. firms have expanded these offerings this year (PNC Bank, March 26, 2025). Today’s programs encompass fitness, mental health, and financial stability, addressing the multifaceted demands of modern professionals. 👨🏻‍💼👩🏻‍💼

Fitness components are a cornerstone—42% of companies are enhancing office environments with features like standing desks or on-site exercise spaces (APA, March 26, 2025). These efforts aim to boost physical vitality, with 20% (only 20%?)of employees linking regular activity to improved job performance (TeamStage, 2024). Mental health support is equally robust—counseling services and stress management workshops are now becoming popular, responding to the 65% of workers citing financial anxiety as a persistent challenge (PwC, March 27, 2025). This dual focus helps professionals stay sharp amid Tampa Bay’s fast-paced finance landscape. Which leads to the third leg of the stool. 🪑

Beyond fitness and mental health, financial well-being rounds out these initiatives. Programs now often include budgeting tools and retirement planning resources, tackling the 60% of employees who report disengagement due to burnout and money stress (SHRM, March 25, 2025). A standout example comes from APA (March 26, 2025)—a Midwest tech firm saw a 15% uptick in retention after rolling out a wellness package with gym stipends, therapy access, and financial coaching. Curious who has seen comprehensive packages like this in Tampa Bay. 🤔

This holistic approach signals a shift—wellness is no longer a perk but a strategic investment. For CPA’s & finance professionals it’s support, a thread to assist in employee retention and an additional chance to thrive in roles that demand endurance. 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️
