Why these wellness trends matter.
With the uncertainty of these times, it’s important to create a happy and healthy workplace for employees. This wellness trends report will help employers and HR managers create systems that work well for their workforce. These new systems will help with retention, workplace happiness and overall productivity.
The 3 Main Wellness Trends for 2023.
- Mental health is the top priority
- Financial wellness matters
- Digital benefits are on the rise
Let’s dive into each wellness trend to learn more about each of these three areas.
Mental health is the top priority.
Mental health has continued to rise on the priority list over the past couple of years and 2023 makes no exception. This report shows that it is the top priority of employees. With the state of the world these past few years, the pressure of productivity and the excess amount of employee burnout happening, no wonder mental health matters.
With 91% of employers investing more resources in this area, it looks like it’s time to make mental wellness a non-negotiable employee benefit.
If you’re an employer who is ready to put mental health as a top priority for your work family, reach out to Navy & Sage Benefits today. We can discuss the different options and benefit packages that will work for this.
Financial wellness matters too.
When we talk about wellness, it’s not always just about your physical and mental wellness. Financial wellness is making a big comeback and that means it’s important to discuss in the workplace.
Employers are now recognizing this trend and creating plans to support employees in stabilizing and managing their finances. We believe financial wellness will be front and center for employee benefits this year as well as years to follow.
Digital benefits are on the rise.
Lastly, the third wellness industry trend is digital benefits. We have been discussing this on our blogs for awhile now, so it’s not a surprise to us to see this in the report. Covid-19 enforced a greater digital landscape for employees. From working from home to receiving counseling over Zoom – everything changed.
With this change, employers are recognizing the need to implement digital benefits to help employees. These digital solutions are cost-effective and work well for new hybrid work models.

Retention is the key to a happy and healthy workforce.
Each of these wellness trends teach us that at the end of the day employees matter. Their physical wellbeing matters as well as their mental and financial wellbeing. It’s a combination of everything that creates a happy and healthy team.
