How to Tell if a Company Values Employee Well-Being

Whattup, job seekers! We’re wrapping up our month-long series on employee well-being today. In case ya forgot, we read some not-so-great news about the state of employee satisfaction in 2024, and since then we’ve made it our entire personality.

To recap, we covered how employers can support the well-being of their employees and how you can improve your own work satisfaction.

But what do you do when the situation is too dire and it’s time to find a new job? Let’s dive into how you can spot a company that actually takes employee well-being seriously from a mile away.

Add these things to your list of employer must-haves:

1. Transparency about company values - does their mission statement mention employee well-being, inclusivity, and work-life balance goals?
2. Speaking of work-life balance, do they offer flexible schedules, remote work, and other perks to help you prioritize both your professional and personal life?
3. A comprehensive benefits plan that includes an insurance plan with mental health support, vacation days, sick leave, parental leave, etc.
4. On top of the basic health care plan, do they offer any other wellness programs, like a gym membership?
5. Growth opportunities - do they offer mentorship opportunities, training programs, and other ways you can grow while you work for them?
6. An inclusive culture - what are their DEI goals and initiatives?

No employer is perfect, but you also shouldn’t settle for a stressful job you hate. As you search for the next one, turn up your employee well-being spidey senses to suss out which companies really care about their employees and which ones are walking red flags.
