September 12, 2022 – Pursuing important life goals is strictly an after-hours proposition for many people, to be pursued and nurtured outside the workplace. But some employers believe they can help their people nurture their work and personal lives at the same time. Are people ready to accept and trust a helping hand from their employers?
At least two medical distributors – Henry Schein and Concordance Healthcare Solutions – believe the answer is “yes.”
“It is no longer sufficient for a company to be a place where an employee can collect a paycheck,” says Josh Naftolin, strategic account manager, Henry Schein Medical. “Just like other employees, sales reps want their company to have a broader purpose and positive influence on society.
Loyalty is something that we must continually earn.” In 2020, the company launched the Henry Schein Mental Wellness Committee, “with a mission to empower every Team Schein Member to be their best self – mentally, emotionally, and physically – by offering resources, guidance, and support,” he says.
