Many of the companies I work with offer wellness benefits.
Wellness benefits are the latest "shiny objects" in the Human Resources tool boxes.
According to SHRM "typical benefits in a wellness program include smoking cessation, weight loss, stress management, company gym/workout rooms, recreational programs such as company-sponsored sports teams, medical screenings and immunization/flu shots".
Valuable wellness benefits help a company retain employees and attract new talent.
Legal and identity theft protection services are the ultimate in wellness benefits.
Say What? How can that be?
These products don't seem glamorous but they reduce stress levels by solving employee's problems.
Weight problems and smoking are results of stress.
The most effective benefits should provide a solution to the issues causing stress.
Employees are facing issues such as divorce, debt collection, lack of an estate plan, eviction and other life events.
An effective wellness program will provide employees solutions to their problems, not temporary relief. It will give them peace of mind and empower them so they can focus on their jobs.
Providing legal and identity theft services protects the company and can save it money.
In the event a company suffers a data breach, it's good to know that employees have licensed investigators and attorneys to assist their employees. That can reduce the company's liability.
Having employees who are empowered and focused saves the company money by increasing production.
Someday every company will offer legal services, not only as an ancillary benefit.
Employees need legal help as often or more than they need medical.
At PPLSI we want everyone to use attorneys the way they were meant to be used.
Attorneys and licensed private investigators are trusted advisors who can take care of all of life's legal issues.
There is no other wellness program that takes away the problems causing stress.
Does your company offer comprehensive legal and identity theft benefits?
