Dive Insight:
As employees become increasingly interested in wellness, employers are working to ensure that workplace benefits and amenities meet that demand.
Wellness is now part of office design planning, and some have gone so far as to include vegetable gardens and walking trails, design experts recently told HR Dive.
Employers will have to have a plan in place to assess the ROI of such offerings, but experts say these amenities can result in improved attendance, productivity and retention.
