The success of any company, by definition, depends on its people. And common sense dictates that if you want to boost performance, productivity, and loyalty while minimizing staff turnover, you need to look after your employees' wellbeing. And this isn't just speculation. A study by Forbes found that if employees were happy, they were around 20% more productive in the workplace. No wonder some of the world's biggest companies like Google spend so much time and effort on maximizing employee wellbeing – providing everything from on-site doctors to napping pods and free haircuts.With that said, you don't need huge budgets or lavish perks to improve employee wellbeing. What's important is devising a carefully considered wellness strategy and making the most of what you have to communicate it. The good news: signing up for YuLife's employee benefits package can make a major impact on employee wellbeing while providing best-in-class insurance. How so? YuLife is not just about giving people payouts if the worst happens; it's also about providing easy-to-access, life-changing benefits here and now. Read on as we outline four ways that YuLife can boost your employees' wellbeing.1. Rewarding physical activity and mindfulnessWe all know we should look after our bodies with regular exercise and mindfulness – but life often gets in the way. Thankfully YuLife has found an innovative solution:The principles of gamification.All employees get access to a gamified app where they are rewarded with YuCoin for completing daily wellness activities and challenges, such as walking, cycling and meditation. YuCoin can then be exchanged for real-world rewards – such as gift-cards and discounts, or even donations to charities.By gamifying healthy activities and offering incentives like YuCoin, it motivates employees to lead healthier lifestyles in a sustainable and enjoyable way. 2. Fostering a sense of communityIn these days of remote/hybrid working, it's easy to feel isolated from your working culture and community. In this light, fostering social connections among employees is more important than ever – especially for improving wellbeing.The YuLife employee app helps facilitate this through wellbeing challenges and the company-wide leaderboard. Employees can challenge a colleague to a 24-hour step-count duel, or simply see the progress of other YuLifer's through the communal leaderboard to help motivate them and boost their activity to reach first place. This encourages healthy and friendly competition and ensures conversations between colleagues aren't always about work matters. And because of it, we've seen industry-leading levels of engagement – with download rates typically around 80-90% of the workforce! And that's not all. Because employees check in with the YuLife app regularly, it makes it a great place to promote the company's own wellness initiatives and campaigns. Companies might also choose to promote a drive to raise YuCoin for a chosen charity, such as Earthly, ShareTheMeal and others.The 'feel good effect' of such events can be especially bonding in companies where employees feel otherwise separate and isolated. By fostering a sense of community in this way, YuLife helps create a positive workplace culture that supports employee wellbeing and boosts morale.3. Mental health supportMental health isn't something that people are typically open about with their employers. But with the YuLife app, employees can access all the support they need easily and confidentially. Benefits delivered via an Employee Assistance Program called YuMatter include structured clinical counseling, which may be complemented by computerized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), for personal and mental health issues. Employees can also access coaching on career development, and advice on issues affecting their work-life balance. By helping support employees in their mental health journeys like this, YuLife empowers employees to manage stress, improve resilience, and enhance their overall emotional wellbeing.4. Financial wellbeing resourcesAs the cost of living and inflation continue to rise, mental wellbeing and financial wellbeing are becoming increasingly interdependent. And that's important for employers to note. After all, if staff are suffering from stress, anxiety and depression over financial issues, they're not going to be bringing their best selves to work.Financial stress can significantly impact an employee's overall wellbeing and productivity. YuLife recognizes this and provides helpful resources to help employees manage their financial health effectively. With financial advisors available as well as discounts available for everyday shopping, and the extensive EAP program available, offering as many of these perks as possible is a great way to help take some of the financial burden off their daily list of expenses. With YuLife, employees get easy access to wellbeing tools and support services, whether they are at home, at work or on the go. All these tools work in tandem with the app's promotion of healthy habits, along with the result of raising employee wellbeing across all parts of your business.Today's challenging business landscape means that prioritizing employee wellbeing is more important than ever. YuLife offers a refreshing approach to employee benefits by going beyond traditional insurance coverage. By promoting physical activity, offering mental health support, providing financial wellbeing resources, and fostering a sense of community, YuLife empowers employees to take charge of their overall wellbeing.
