Pollack notes Work Well NYC's 10th anniversary and the employee assistance program providing physical, mental, and emotional health support, and acknowledges the city needs to improve how it communicates benefits to employees.

Daniel Pollack

In addition to the employee benefits program, we have programs like Work Well NYC, the city's workplace wellness program, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and our employee assistance program.

Daniel Pollack

We provide physical, mental, and emotional health support services that foster a resilient and supported workforce.

Daniel Pollack

We're investing directly in the daily well-being and work-life balance of our employees through these efforts.

Daniel Pollack

These programs provide a comprehensive safety net and financial wellness tools that set the city service apart.

Daniel Pollack

They're vital in attracting prospective candidates and giving current employees compelling reasons to build long-term careers with the city.

Daniel Pollack

One thing I'll mention is that we are always looking to improve the way we communicate out about our benefits.

Daniel Pollack

It's something we know we have more work on, and we will continue to make efforts to better communicate the value of our benefits to prospective employees, current employees, really everyone.
