INSIDE EDGE COMMERCIAL INTERIOR SERVICES ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF NEW MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS BENEFIT: THE TAKE 5 MOVEMENT
Company Announcement
Eagan, MN (April 7th, 2023)—Inside Edge, a leading provider of commercial interior services, is proud to announce the launch of its new employee benefit, The Take 5 Movement for Better Mental Health and Wellness. The benefit will be piloted within the company and is expected to have a positive impact on the mental health and well-being of employees.
Inside Edge has partnered with The Wilder Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving lives in the community, to create The Take 5 program. The goal of the program is to provide employees with 5 additional days of paid time off each year. Employees will be encouraged to take these days off consecutively and unplug from work to focus on their mental health and wellness. Additionally, they will be provided with resources that aid in managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns.
The Take 5 benefit offers a variety of resources to employees, including access to Health Transformation Consultants, stress-reduction techniques, and self-care practices. In addition, money will be set aside for employees that choose to participate in this via Lifestyle Accounts to reimburse them for out-of-pocket wellness expenses, and more. The program also includes wellness initiatives such as yoga classes and healthy eating tips to promote overall well-being.
“We recognize that mental health is a critical component of overall wellness,” said David Moeller, CEO of Inside Edge. “We are excited to partner with Wilder to launch Take 5 and provide our employees with the support they need to manage their mental health.”
The pilot program will be rolled out to the company’s full-time employees this month, with the anticipation that it finds success and becomes an ongoing benefit offered by the company. The Take 5 program is part of Inside Edge’s commitment to creating a supportive and healthy workplace culture, which also includes health and wellness programming through Inside Edge’s health insurer, Medica.
Wilder Associate Director of Research, Kristin Dillon, also expressed excitement about the partnership, stating that “The Take 5 Movement draws from research on the best ways to support employee mental health and wellness in the workplace and adds an innovative, person-centered approach to enhance its potential for impact.”
