Keiter Wellness Approach Featured in VSCPA Disclosures Magazine

Initiatives that support employee wellbeing

In VSCPA’s Spring 2023 Disclosures article “Case study: A holistic approach to employee wellness,” Keiter shares what employee wellness means at the firm and what initiatives are in place to foster a healthy work/life balance. Keiter believes that promoting initiatives in physical, social, emotional and career health are all necessary to meet the diverse needs of team members.

Excerpt:

“Wellness encompasses so much, and it can vary from person to person or even year to year. Our HR team members are active listeners in individual and group conversations regarding wellness and benefit concerns. HR also works closely with firm leadership to communicate the new and changing needs of team members.”

“Like any accounting firm or business, change can raise concern or resistance for a variety of reasons,” said Lauren Andrews, Keiter human resources manager. “I think what differentiates Keiter is our ability to keep an open line of communication with leadership. It will likely take more than one conversation to get buy-in for a change or new idea. And that’s how it should be. We are thoughtful in making changes that are best for the firm and the team. Our approach is to be innovative while avoiding change for the sake of change.”

“These collaborative conversations help to drive innovative and relevant benefit offerings. The result for our firm is a comprehensive benefits package that encourages smart planning for financial and health well-being while considering the time needed to recharge throughout the year.”
