Smart companies are increasingly looking to technology to deliver an employee experience that empowers the workforce and improves the physical and financial well-being of employees and their families.
Mercer recently published a white paper, Healthy, Wealthy and Work-Wise, highlighting how the technology-driven wellness revolution will build a better employee experience for diverse, multi-generational workforces.
4 ways to enhance employee experience using technology:
- Improve employees' financial and physical well-being;
- Plan for the workforce of the future;
- Deliver a consumer-grade benefits experience that employees crave; and
- Personalise the employee benefits experience for a diverse workforce.
The report’s key recommendations for employers include improving employees’ financial and physical well-being by leveraging technology to deliver engaging health and well-being strategies. It also highlighted the need for employers to plan for the workforce of the future—using digital tools to understand the transformation required and determine opportunities for reskilling.
The paper also pointed out that HR must deliver employee benefits and engage with employees using the ‘consumer-grade’ digital tools that employees crave. Finally, it is critical for organisations to personalise the employee benefits experience for a diverse workforce.
Organisations that utilise these methods will ensure talent is fit, financially secure and engaged. Reducing concerns around financial insecurity, health and job security not only benefits individual employees, but the businesses as a whole.
