For most companies, 2020 highlighted the  interconnectedness, resilience, and vulnerabilities of their workforce worldwide. Grappling with financial uncertainty and employees in crisis, responsible companies turned to relief programs as a means of supporting employees and engaging in innovative giving strategies. Recent E4E Relief research confirms that employee relief programs directly contribute to employee well-being in times of crisis. Key data shows that relief programs allow companies to generate goodwill and employee engagement, while mitigating crisis and volatility in their workforce. In a year that tested the limits of business continuity strategies, employee relief remains a practical, proactive strategy to improve employee financial and emotional well-being.
