"Wellness" took on new meaning amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, with employers racing to support workers through personal and professional disruptions.

Companies moved fitness benefits online and increased offerings around mental health but more was needed. Such offerings were "designed to address a set of wellness issues that were rooted in a pre-COVID environment," Visier Chief People Officer Paul Rubenstein told HR Dive. Instead of just moving the programs into a virtual environment, the question became, "how do we get people to engineer their work differently as a part of wellness?"

To that end, employers offered flexibility and tried to take a holistic view of employees' lives. The following stories explore these issues and more, including:

• Wellness perk delivery amid a pandemic.
• How the pandemic may reshape corporate wellness offerings long term.
• Mental health as an emerging wellness trend.
• The importance of employee financial wellness.

These are just a few of the many aspects of employee well being that employers are thinking about and developing programs around. We hope you enjoy this deep dive into the current trends.
