Nearly 74 percent of surveyed organizations are either exploring or seriously considering AI solutions to improve operational efficiency in 2025, reflecting AI’s growing role in workplace productivity.
The need for a holistic approach to workplace wellbeing is becoming more critical, as highlighted by last year’s TELUS Financial Wellbeing special report.
According to the report, 25 percent of Canadian workers are concerned about their ability to retire, and 30 percent prioritize financial planning in their benefits packages. Many employees believe employers should offer retirement savings options to improve financial security.
Philip Mullen, vice president of Employer Solutions Consulting at TELUS Health, stated, “In today’s evolving job market, employees are seeking more than just competitive salaries. They’re looking for employers who offer comprehensive support for their financial, physical, and mental wellbeing.”
He emphasized that organizations that partner with benefits administrators to provide holistic packages—integrating retirement planning, investments, and health services—are likely to see better recruitment, retention, and productivity outcomes.
