Scholarly Stress

The education sector has experienced significant challenges in the past few years. First, there was the pandemic and the associated challenges of remote teaching and learning, followed by concerns around safety as students and teachers returned to the classroom. But since then, chronic absenteeism has nearly doubled in American schools, and teachers have found themselves at the center of new political challenges like book bans. It’s not surprising that in this stressful era for teachers, benefits that focus on their well-being — such as flexibility and paid leave — are more valuable than ever for them and their dependents, which is why it’s important for employers to offer dental coverage to their employees — and their employees' families.
