New Study Reveals Health Priorities
June 14, 2021 by Charles K. Hirsch, CLU
Lincoln Financial Group recently released a study focused on the prioritization of employee mental health. This new study, similar to one released by The Hartford last fall, reveals that employees today have needs and expectations of their employer that too often are not being met.
Highlighted in a statement released in late April, the Lincoln Financial Group study indicates nearly two-thirds of employees say they have left a job in the past or would like to leave their current job because of negative impacts on their mental wellbeing. The unique stressors experienced over the past year due to the pandemic (isolation, anxiety, emergency home schooling, and illness, to name a few), seem to have magnified these feelings. 64% of full-time employed adults in the U.S. say they would choose an employer that offers a less stressful work environment over one with a 10% higher salary. This is a significant statement, particularly since this same study found an overwhelming 91% of full-time employees in the U.S. indicate they are concerned about some aspect of financial wellness, and 32% said their financial situation makes them feel more stressed, nervous, or overwhelmed.
