Why is this unprecedented trend alarming? Because productivity doesn’t last when it’s coupled with burnout and stress. Instead, it’s vital to align wellbeing and engagement to help your employees and your organization thrive:
41.1%
of adults reported symptoms of anxiety or depression in January 2021, an 11% increase from 2019.
87%
of employees expect their employer to support work/life balance.
89%
of employees at a company that supports wellbeing are likely to recommend their organization as a good place to work.

61% of employees agree they have made healthier choices because of their company’s wellness program. But to see that kind of impact, the resources need to be right for your employee needs and company culture. That’s why Navigate recently launched our Ecosystem Partnership Program—to provide a wealth of resource options that, combined with our flexible platform, create a tailored solution unique to every client.
This new Ecosystem Partnership Program allows each client to supplement their Navigate resource hub with even more industry-leading virtual resources. Current options include digital fitness from BurnAlong and LES MILLS, mental health resources from Total Brain, a financial concierge service from Your Money Line, and more, with additional partnerships to come. Read our recent press release to learn more.
It’s easy to say, “choose the right resources for you,” but determining what’s right is more difficult. Use survey tools—such as Navigate’s Wellbeing Survey, Diversity, and Inclusion Survey, and quick-hit Pulse Surveys—to gain a baseline understanding of your audience and to assess their needs on an ongoing basis. Each of our new partners, if selected, also provide a wealth of data you can use to streamline your strategy.
Engagement and wellbeing have never diverged in this way before and realigning them is no simple task. But with the right strategy, resources, and wellbeing provider, organizations can maintain productivity without risking burnout among their most valuable contributors.
