Being an organizational leader, you recognize the importance of having employees engaged in their work, while they are at work. This recognition has also led many leaders to launch worksite wellness programs in their organizations. However, most of these programs focus only on physical health.

In the words of Jessie J (well almost!) it’s not about the money when it comes to employee benefits, certainly not when we want to think about retaining Generation Y talent and beyond. An HBR article (How Gen Y & Boomers will reshape your agenda -2009) talks about a ‘rewards remix being both challenging and liberating’ which is good news for the overall budget but requires some creative thinking in terms of the overall benefits package. OK, I am not sure that we need to go as far as trying ‘to make the world dance’ but providing the access to health and leisure facilities and opportunities to ‘give something back’ may not be so far off the mark! It seems that organizations would benefit from thinking a little more creatively and systemically if they want to leverage the best value from their benefits packages.
