- A new Willis Towers Watson study found that 86 percent of employers named worker mental health, stress, and burnout as key priorities in 2022, but 49 percent have yet to articulate a formal strategy for wellness. Only a quarter of the 322 employers surveyed have outlined and deployed a wellness strategy and 35 percent have an organization-wide behavioral health strategy and action plan. Employers reported they are also planning or considering programs that focus on behavioral health (48 percent), redesign their employee assistance programs (39 percent), target specific high-cost needs (27 percent), and address financial well-being (32 percent).
