How can employers help?

Callie Chamberlain Healing and recovery is going to look a little bit different for everyone, and maybe a little bit different for every organization and every industry.

Barb Boudreau It's time to hear the voices of those impacted and take action.

Challenge: Vaccine hesitancy

VO: “My employer doesn’t understand why I don’t trust the health care system. They keep pushing vaccines without answering my questions.”

Callie There's a lot of different kinds of reasons why people might be hesitant or not want to vaccinate. And those things are all valid and require conversation and some empathy

PIVOT, the Priority Identification Vaccine Operating Tool, gives employers access to the data, analytics, and visualizations needed to optimize cleaning, administration, and monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines at a zip code level.

Challenge: Uneven economic recovery

VO: “I don’t know how I will dig myself out of this financial hole. It has impacted my security. My future.”

Barb Employees are likely voicing their concerns. They may not be saying it for a request for a specific benefit, but they're talking about the anxieties that they're feeling and the areas of their life that they're really struggling with.

It's important that we find ways to ensure employees have equal access to resources that will improve their future. A great example is lifestyle spending accounts.

These employer-funded accounts provide financial resources for continuing education, self-improvement, overall wellbeing, and more.

Another example is the crisis relief account. Employers can help their employees with life's necessities, like rent, utilities, groceries and child care

Challenge: Delaying care

VO: “It’s hard to feel supported during pregnancy when I feared getting sick by going to the doctor.”

Callie As a birth doula, I know how important this type of support is for people, especially if it's their first time navigating pregnancy.

I love Maven because it allows holistic support that can guide pregnant people and their partners throughout the experience of being pregnant, labor, and delivery.

Another thing that I really love about Maven is that they have a human-centered app experience, so people are able to receive personalized care. and they're able to receive support from advocates that can help them navigate the system. 

Together, we can make pandemic recovery more equal.

Barb Just listening and hearing what employees are saying and, ah, the challenges that they're facing can drive in the direction for an employer on the types of benefits that employees might be looking for.

Callie  Together, by hearing the voices of all of those impacted, we can move on and we can heal.

That’s how we Return Better^TM
