Help in the hybrid era | How WFH has changed HR's wellbeing delivery

Employers are adapting the health and wellbeing support they offer to employees to reflect more prevalent remote and hybrid working patterns, according to new research.

According to GRiD, the industry body for the group risk sector, a third (30%) of organisations where some or all staff now work remotely or in a hybrid model have made it easier for staff to access existing support and benefits remotely e.g. via apps and online.

Also in response to the remote work/hybrid working model, 28% have introduced new health and wellbeing benefits to support employees e.g. for their mental health and physical health.

Just over a fifth (22%) have increased support that can be accessed remotely e.g. virtual GP appointments, and the same number have organised more social events.
