The case for benefits that focus on well-being
There is a growing need, and distinct opportunity, for employers to address workforce well-being during life's pivotal moments.
Group benefits at Guardian
Where doing well means being your best.

It’s why we offer proactive, comprehensive solutions that address emotional, mental, physical, and financial well-being. And why we provide modern processes and intuitive tools that simplify benefits management and utilization.
When you feel well, you think well. When you think well, you perform well. And when you perform well, everyone does better.
About a quarter of workers (24%) experienced increased anxiety, depression, or other mental health needs in the past two years. Only 34% say they maintain a good work/life balance, which may be why the percentage of US workers who say they experience work burnout has increased 33% since 2023.1
82% of those who rate their ability to maintain work/life balance as “fair” or “poor” also have low financial health, potentially due to working multiple jobs to make ends meet.2
35% of caregivers who say that their employer supports their caregiving responsibilities report “excellent” or “very good” emotional health compared to only 22% of caregivers who say that their employer does not support their needs.3

Group benefits refer to the different insurance types that cover a group of people, such as the employees in a business. In addition to medical insurance, group benefits can also include ancillary benefits like the insurance options offered by Guardian.
Employees save more money when they can access benefits through an employer. As a result, employers who offer a good variety of quality benefits are better able to attract and retain top talent that can help their businesses grow and thrive.
The cost to the employer can vary depending on the different features you choose. When benefits are offered on a voluntary basis, each one costs around what an employee might pay for a coffee shop latte, per day.
Guardian offers benefits that:
Help protect loved ones and paychecks, including life and disability insurance.
Help save on required care, including dental and vision insurance.
Pay cash after an unexpected health emergency, so employees can focus on recovering, including accident, cancer, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance.
Ensure immediate access to personalized mental wellness solutions for all employees and their families through Guardian + Spring Health.
