“Employee turnover is not caused by just one thing; similarly, a wellness program is made up of many components,” said Ron Bryan, Brightview’s vice president of human resources. Brightview has a full-time wellness coordinator, care coordination and a new employee assistance plan provider addressing mental health challenges through programs, webinars and direct counseling.
With COVID-19 exacerbating the industry’s high turnover rate, Brightview’s recruitment and retention investments include wage analyses, some salary increases, enhanced referral bonuses and more. “We hired six regional talent coordinators … to assist with hiring,” Bryan said.
Even with added benefits for mental health and fertility treatments, Brightview’s self-insured health insurance expenses have remained nearly flat year over year. “A couple of years ago, we reduced associates’ premiums by 6.5%,” Bryan said.
A Healthy Thought: ‘We’re all in it together … everyone shares in the cost savings of our self-funded medical plan.’
