Nearly 1/2 of education employees say they struggle with maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
These are some of the top reasons why, according to Guardian research:
A new well-being standard for education professionals
Helping your faculty and professional staff be their best is the right thing to do – for them, their families, and the communities they serve. Help them reach their potential by offering modern, forward-thinking employee benefits that achieve high marks for proactive well-being support.
Financial concerns
Twenty-two percent of education workers say they're "very" or "somewhat likely" to leave their jobs in the next year, a troubling trend for teacher retention.
Mental wellness
More than 73% of employers believe they do an excellent job addressing workforce mental health. However, only 46% of employees agree.
Absences
Education firms are most likely to report that mental health was a major contributor to absences at their organizations.
You can help support employee well-being with benefits that address their needs
Supplemental health benefits support employee financial well-being
When unexpected care is required after an injury, serious medical event, or illness diagnosis, employees and their families need (and want) the greater financial support supplemental health insurance, like accident and critical illness benefits, can provide.
Dental insurance designed by listening to what real people want
While 74% of education employers offer dental insurance, what are employees actually getting? Guardian dental plans are designed around what employees want, with features like a built-in tobacco cessation program, diminishing deductibles, and 100% network coverage for dependent children age 12 and under.
Intuitive mental wellness support that meets the unique needs of each person
Personalized mental wellness benefits offer tools, resources, and professional services that break down traditional barriers to mental health care, and are clinically proven to drive improved outcomes for employees and their families.
