“Employers are beginning to believe in the business value of caring for their people as human beings, but struggle to understand how this manifests on a daily basis,” said Dr. Laura Hamill, Limeade Chief People Officer and Chief Science Officer of the Limeade Institute. “The 2020 Employee Care Report benchmarks the state of employee care and underscores the need to make improvements immediately. By understanding what care does and doesn’t look like, employers can begin to improve recruitment, retention and business results through an increased dedication to organizational care.”

To help employers take action, the Limeade Institute developed a framework to help organizations demonstrate care to their employees. These aspects of care can be introduced at scale to employees with Limeade Well-Being, Engagement and Inclusion solutions. Available as an integrated platform or individual solutions, with Limeade every employee knows their company cares.
