Nearly one in three U.S. employees would like their employers to provide more assistance to improve their financial health, while more than a quarter would like additional support for mental health, including how to cope with burnout, according to a survey of more than 2,200 employees conducted by the National Business Group on Health, Yahoo! Finance reported July 10. Additionally, employees' overall well‐being is associated with access to health‐enabling communities near their workplace. The survey found nearly a third of employees (32%) cited financial health as the one dimension of well‐being they would like their employers to address more than they do today. The top areas employees cited as wanting help to improve their financial health were with health care and prescription drug costs (34%) and housing costs (26%). When it comes to mental health, 27% of employees are looking for more support. The survey found that two in five employees want help with “burnout at work” specifically, while roughly a quarter would like help so they can sleep better and become more resilient.
