The stipend problem
You're already paying for a wellness benefit your team doesn't have time to promote or manage
Most corporate benefits packages earmark funds for a wellness stipend. The intent is good: encourage healthy habits, support the whole employee. The reality is messier. HR and People teams are stretched thin, so the benefit goes unannounced and underused.
At companies where employees do submit wellness expenses, someone on your team is reviewing receipts, approving line items, and routing paperwork to the benefits provider. The stipend ends up costing more in admin time than it delivers in actual wellness.
