The pandemic is challenging individuals from every angle - #mentalhealth benefits are critical.

As you evaluate your #health #benefits, focus on your overall #Wellbeing. Great points @TracyFWatts. #ReutersBenefits #burnout #futureofwork

A10 2/2 Also remember: our brains are the most powerful tech in the world, yet they still run on ancient programming and are now hijacked by devasting fear/anxiety. Take advantage of all solutions offered. “Change your brain. Change your life”. #ReutersBenefits

Yet another reason to explore HSA and FSA options offered by your employer! #ReutersBenefits #NFP

[The Finance Bar™ @thefinancebar]

@LaurenYoung A10: Identify what coverage you may already have. FSA and HSA in many cases cover costs for therapy or medical providers. Employee assistance programs are also beneficial. #ReutersBenefits

[TracyWatts @TracyFWatts]

@HerMoneyMedia So true! Many telemedicine programs include mental health consultations now as well as stand-along programs that care completely virtual. #ReutersBenefits #AskReuters

[Kristin Williams @KristinBulat]

Thanks for the clarification! Now all I need is a plan that both helps with struggles AND gives out prizes. #ReutersBenefits

[Chris Taylor @christaylor_nyc]

A10: It comes from the top - execs need to demonstrate and convey that there’s no stigma in getting the help you need #ReutersBenefits

[Kristin Williams @KristinBulat]

@SPDkim That seems like an important distinction. How do can an employee figure out which type they're being offered? #ReutersBenefits

[WEX Benefits @WEXBenefits]

@Jellyvision @LaurenYoung @WorldatWork We found similar trends with telemedicine in our latest consumer research! You can check out our full report here. #ReutersBenefits #telemedicine https://t.co/qr9qd3qLRp

[MetLife @MetLife]

@lizweston A recent MetLife study shows that employees with good financial health are twice as likely to report having good mental health compared to those with poor financial health (83% vs. 37%). https://t.co/WoE732tT4b #ReutersBenefits

A9. No one can truly argue that an apple a day doesn’t pay. Investing in your health yields the best returns, in terms of saving money and living your best life. But, you need to work at it. Set goals. Choose activities/interventions that you enjoy! #ReutersBenefits

[Kristin Williams @KristinBulat]

It's wonderful that employers are now helping employees with financial and personal wellness. #ReutersBenefits #NFP

[MetLife @MetLife]

@LaurenYoung A9. Having access to benefits that support improving mental health and financial wellness can help employees reduce stress and feel more in control of their finances, helping better manage challenges we’re all facing in today’s world. https://t.co/nyazjqqd8e #ReutersBenefits

[Steve Cain @SteveCainLTC]

A 8. Work from home is our new-normal. Dress code = shorts or sweat pants. Business travel = we'll see. Covid-19 changed the way Boomers, GenX & Millennials look at perks/non-traditional benefits. A robust offering of Voluntary Benefits is critical today. #reutersbenefits

[Lauren Young @LaurenYoung]

For companies offering new or expanded benefits, the most popular option (27%) is flexible schedules. Others include mental health services (21%), online fitness (13%), meditation classes or apps (12%), @WorldatWork says https://t.co/AUMpRJsnm2 #ReutersBenefits

[Kristin Williams @KristinBulat]

Anything that helps with zoom schooling would be a great benefit! #ReutersBenefits

[Francis Financial @FrancisFinance]

A8. Flexible work hours! Parents with young children are struggling now more than ever and are especially grateful for greater autonomy over their own schedules while trying to get their kids through Zoom school! #ReutersBenefits

@LaurenYoung A7: Planning for retirement is a long game. Markets shift as they have recently. It’s important that we keep watch of the long term goals and pivot accordingly. #ReutersBenefits

[Steve Cain @SteveCainLTC]

A 7. Play the "long-game". Contribute to your qualified account. As someone who has 20+ more years of work ahead of me, I have to have a strong stomach right now & just think tax-deferred growth on my money. You won't get hurt that way. #reutersbenefits

[Kristin Williams @KristinBulat]

What a great idea to get in the habit of reviewing retirement plan goals during open enrollment! #ReutersBenefits #NFP

[Kristin Williams @KristinBulat]

A7. Volatility in the markets is to be expected (although one might call this excessive volatility). The key is to work with a qualified financial planner who can help you create, stick to and enjoy your retirement plan. Don't forget to add life insurance. #ReutersBenefits #NFP

[Lauren Young @LaurenYoung]

Q7: Given the recent volatility in the markets, how should workers approach retirement benefits now? #ReutersBenefits

[Steve Cain @SteveCainLTC]

A6. Do both. Trust me, your family will be thanking you! As a country, we're so under-insured when it comes to Life Insurance. I've seen in first-hand, Life Insurance proceeds can change lives after a loved one's untimely death. #reutersbenefits
