Change the Workplace, Change the World

"If you are a people leader, you are likely under tremendous pressure to grow your businesses while also addressing unsustainable stressors on your people. Financial pressure, job stress, and health concerns are overwhelming people everywhere. Engagement is suffering. People are suffering. Yet, the work doesn’t stop. It can’t stop.

What if the workplace could transform from the source of much of our stress to the solution? What if the place where we all spend 80,000 hours of our adult lives could help us achieve more of our potential and experience more purpose and meaning?
People-first, high-performance organizations lead to healthy growing families and communities. Higher engagement drives productivity and performance…and a virtuous cycle begins.
It’s time to change the workplace, change the world."

GLP-1 Class Drugs: To Cover or Not?

GLP-1 class drugs, primarily used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, are highly sought after, given their effectiveness in managing blood sugar levels and promoting weight loss. However, the low supply and exorbitant cost of these drugs pose significant challenges.
Coverage of these drugs has even been seen as a recruiting strategy, particularly for potential employees who may be managing diabetes. However, industry turnover rates may impact the employer’s return on investment.

In analyzing the impact of covering GLP-1’s as an engagement tactic, employers must consider the impact on employee wellbeing, particularly for those employees managing chronic conditions like diabetes. They must also consider company values, and whether they align with providing comprehensive healthcare coverage that includes high-cost drugs like GLP-1’s.

The organizational culture, too, plays a role in this decision. A culture that prioritizes employee health and wellbeing may see more value in covering these drugs despite their cost.

This timely session from our internal pharmacy consulting expert offers the latest perspectives and considerations for this revolutionary class of medications, taking into account their potential benefits for diabetic employees and the broader implications for the organization.

Removing the Mask: Uncovering the Truth about Building a Healthy Workplace

2020 - the year that feels both like yesterday and a decade ago - made “work-life balance” a thing of the past. The workplace and home became one, and we have since been called to remove our masks and show up not just as professionals, but as our true selves. While the “green light” to show up in our magic – all of the things that make us uniquely who we are – came with a sense of excitement and freedom, the reality is that we’ve been well-trained to NOT be curious in the workplace. We refrain from conversations around our differences, racism, societal issues,...and most definitely mental health. The reality is that “being comfortable with getting uncomfortable” is not an easy thing to do, and sometimes, the risk of showing up authentically (perceived or real), does more harm to our overall wellbeing than good. In this discussion, learn how to build and maintain a lasting culture of trust and mental balance by empowering your people to be vulnerable, authentic, and curious.

Winning the Recruitment and Retention War with Strategic Ancillary Benefit Maneuvers

In this post-COVID world, we are all a little more aware of our mortality and that impact on our families' standard of living in the event of an unforeseen tragedy. This is contributing to increased financial stress of employees and progressive employers are engaging innovative solutions in ancillary benefits as a strategy to help employees feel more prepared and financially secure for the unknown. But this is not about offering an insurance product - it is about specifically tailored and communicated coverages and utilizing new metrics for defining success.
