How to celebrate National Employee Benefits Day

National Employee Benefits Day is being celebrated in Canada and the United States today.

This year focuses on Wellness 2.0—the growing movement to expand employer wellness programs to encompass all areas of total well-being: body, mind, wallet, community and work.

Celebrate the day by examining what initiatives your organization could offer to increase your employees’ overall health.

The International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP) has tips on designing a wellness program, case studies and ideas on work and financial well-being initiatives. It also has a free webinar scheduled for 3:00 p.m. eastern.

National Employee Benefits Day was created in 2004 and is celebrated annually each April in the United States and Canada.

Get more information on IFEBP’s website.
