Employers and employees continued to adjust to a new world of work in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic this past year. Employers seemed up to the task, launching new and improved benefits that support the health and well-being of their teams.
As employees adjusted to changes with hybrid work, remote learning and increased caregiver responsibilities, employers worked hard to make investments to retain their current workforce and attract new talent.
