Do you feel like your employer genuinely cares about the mental and physical well being of their employees? Do you have any programs that support employee health, aside from your typical EAP programs etc.

They really do. Mental health, physical health, the health of our family members is always more important than what we’ve got on deck and we’re all free to take care of any appointment we need or even flex the time for a work from home day. We have a discounted local YMCA membership with the option for a pretax paycheck deduction to cover it. 6 free mental health appointments per year is also nice. We’re small but we’re getting there.

Yes, my company is really good about that. We even have mental health days.

They currently have a wellness committee in place working on addressing health/satisfaction.

I think so, could we do more, sure; but when a new team member lost a family member unexpectedly I didn’t have to ask permission to go around policy. The expectation is to lead with empathy and compassion so I could make decisions with that employee to support them.
Additionally, I always tell me team they never have to use PTO for dr appts, drop a car off, etc if they can flex their time. I want them to have PTO for things that are restorative. I operate on a “do your job, I don’t care when or where” management style… just put it on the calendar so if someone asks I don’t look like an idiot.
We started some in office wellness things but I don’t participate so I don’t know how successful they have been (they are at times I have other standing appointments.
We have talked about a way to donate PTO towards a pool but have never found a way that felt appropriate.

I appreciate your management style 🫶🏼

What kind of programs do your orgs have in place to promote employee heath. A wellness bank account that they contribute to yearly? Flexible pto? A daily, paid-for wellness hour built into each work day?

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time.

But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
