Benefits Administration
Services

Workvivo, an enterprise workplace engagement app, conducted a survey of 520 human resources professionals in the US and the UK and discovered something disturbing: 98% percent of HR professionals consider themselves to be in a state of burnout. In one sense, this should come as no surprise. When the worst of the pandemic caused so many businesses to come to a screeching halt and many people were laid off or let go, it was the HR departments who had to dispense all the bad news. And when it was time to scramble to figure out remote work, it was HR who had to step up.

Throughout the worst and lingering effects of the pandemic disrupting workplaces everywhere, including the resignation of many HR staff, it’s HR who is also left to pick up the pieces and make it all work. More recently, workplaces are demanding HR deliver big headcount growth and reduce voluntary turnover. No wonder burnout is so high! The Workvivo survey went on to detail just how bad the situation is for HR teams today:

● 94% reported feeling overwhelmed in the past six months.
● 88% said they dreaded going to work.
● 97% indicated they felt emotionally fatigued from work during the past year.
● 78% reported they are open to leaving their job this year.
● 73% say the HR department is too under-resourced to do their job well.

At a time when companies across America need their existing workforce to be healthier and as stable as possible, HR teams are in the worst possible frame of mind to make it happen. Can your HR staff give the time and attention needed to really do right by health benefits administration? We hope you’ll see the need to take some of the pressure off HR by taking advantage of LHD’s health benefits administration management services.
