SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In today’s unprecedented labor market, companies need to bolster their recruiting and retention efforts by providing more holistic benefits that include employee health and wellbeing. To support this growing need, Grokker, the on-demand wellbeing solution employees love, recently released “Wellbeing in the Modern Workplace: Your Buyers Guide to the New Generation of Employee Wellbeing Solutions.”

Grokker founder and CEO Lorna Borenstein commented, “Over the last few years, we’ve seen workplace wellbeing evolve, with employers recognizing that employees are seeking purpose, belonging and balance. As a result, there’s increasing demand for all-encompassing programs and digital content that help employees make a holistic lifestyle change and achieve their individual goals.”

According to recent research from Deloitte, 84 percent of organizations feel wellbeing is important – but only 49 percent are ready to take action. In turn, Grokker set out to provide a clear line of sight into the workforce wellbeing marketplace and help employers identify the right solution for their organization.

Highlighting the importance of employee engagement and adoption, the guide covers the pillars of effective wellbeing programs as well as what to look for in a solution. Noting that this is uncharted territory for many organizations, it offers actionable tips and tactics to help employers move from the old generation of wellness to the new generation of wellbeing. There is also a full breakdown of the different types of solutions available, from benefits platforms and individual wellness apps to complete wellbeing solutions, as well as the pros and cons of each.

Borenstein continued, “Knowing what to look for in today’s sea of benefits — such as on-demand access on any platform — is critical. Employers need solutions that their diverse and dispersed employee populations will actually use. Providing relevant and engaging wellbeing tools like Grokker isn’t just a nice to have any more; it’s the key to a happier workforce.”
