IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Uprise Health<\/a>, a leading digital mental health company, today announced the findings of a new research study that details the overwhelming challenges human resources (HR) leaders are experiencing boosting nontraditional benefits like mental health and wellness. HR leaders are struggling to identify effective support and tools that will keep employees happier, healthier, and more resilient, in order to stem the tide of resignations and burnout, and are looking for strategies and advice from their benefits broker to further optimize benefits packages.\n<\/p>\n

\nUprise Health, which delivers digitally-enabled EAP and mental health solutions for employers, commissioned a survey of 543 U.S.-based HR leaders at firms with 100 or more employees in May 2022. Market research firm Researchscape International conducted the survey. The results are published in an e-book: \u201cBroker Guide: How To Help HR Meet Heightened Employee Benefit Demands<\/a>.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n43% of respondents said their employees are having difficulty accessing mental health care. Another 35% of employers are currently not offering any mental health and wellness benefits, despite the significant need. 52% said that concerns about access to mental health for employees\u2019 teenaged children have become more prevalent since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n<\/p>\n

\nHR leaders want more help from their benefits broker or consultant. 37% said their broker or consultant has not helped their company provide more ways for employees to access care for mental health, wellbeing, and chronic illnesses. 53% of HR leaders said they are \u201csomewhat likely,\u201d \u201cvery likely\u201d or \u201ccompletely likely\u201d to change their current benefits professional in the next year. Of those likely to change their benefits professional, 38% said they are looking for more communication, responsiveness, proactivity, and a \u201cconsultative approach.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHR teams are stretched to their limit navigating COVID-19 protocols, containing costs, and increasing employee engagement in hybrid workplaces,\u201d said Mike Nolte, CEO of Uprise Health. \u201cTheir approaches to reducing employee burnout and ensuring work-life balance have had to adapt, and this has proven to be a significant challenge with modest success. Benefits professionals have a tremendous opportunity to step in as strategic advisors, providing solutions and guidance that support the health of every employee. This includes mental health, wellness, and resilience, while also addressing their link to everything from prevention to comorbid chronic illnesses. Now is the time for benefits professionals to share their knowledge and expertise with their HR clients.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
