Award Recognizes Mercury's Commitment
to its Employees' Mental Health
LOS
ANGELES, June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury
Insurance has been named by Newsweek, in conjunction with
market data research firm Plant-A Insights, as one of America's
Greatest Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing 2024. This is the
first year Newsweek is offering the award, and only 15
non-health-related insurance carriers were selected out of 750
businesses recognized.
"We continue to be humbled and honored by the recognition our
employee care and empowerment actions have received," stated
Heidi Lopez, Vice President, Chief
Human Capital Officer for Mercury. "Our employees have access to a
great number of resources and programs designed to promote positive
mental well-being. The Mercury team is a community, and we will
always strive to provide the best services and tools to support the
mental and physical health of our employees."
According to a survey of 250 benefits leaders across the U.S,
conducted by Lyra, 94% of respondents indicated that offering
mental health benefits is "very important" to prospective
employees.
Mercury has made the mental health of its employees a priority,
recognizing that mental health is as much a priority as physical
health. The company offers a range of mental health benefits, from
counseling to a full well-being program. Other offerings
include:
- Lyra - Mercury employees have access to mental health care for
themselves, their spouses and their children (up to age 26) through
Lyra, which allows employees to find the right solution for their
needs. The service also includes Lyra Learn, which
provides eLearning on a wide range of health topics, including
stress management and minding your mental health.
- MyHealth at Mercury - MyHealth is a comprehensive well-being
program that allows Mercury team members and their spouses to find
interactive tools and resources to track personal goals,
participate in well-being challenges and receive awards for their
efforts.
- ACI Work Life Services – Known for providing employee
assistance programs, ACI's Work-Life Services is a dedicated
program of benefits and professional services that center on stress
relief through in-the-moment counseling, via video or telephone as
well as in-person sessions. They also provide legal and financial
consultations, and all of this combines to ease the stress of
day-to-day burdens.
"This award validates our belief that Mercury's success stems
from building a team that is both physically and mentally healthy,"
added Lopez. "We believe that our employees are the foundation upon
which Mercury is built, and their mental health is critically
important to happiness and well-being."
To spotlight the organizations prioritizing the mental
well-being of their employees, Newsweek partnered with Plant-A for
the inaugural ranking of America's Greatest Workplaces for Mental
Well-Being, which lists the top 750 U.S. employers making a
positive difference in the mental wellness of their workers.
The ranking is based on an assessment of public data, feedback
from HR executives at companies with more than 1,000 employees and
an anonymized panel of HR professionals to identify employee
satisfaction drivers, and large-scale confidential online surveys
of more than 250,000 employees
