Employer Approaches to Wellbeing in 2026: GLP-1, Mental Health, Cost Containment, AI, and More

What you’ll learn:

As employers navigate rising medical costs, evolving employee expectations, and increasing pressure to demonstrate ROI, wellbeing programs are entering a new phase of strategic maturity.

In this webinar, we unpack the most important insights from Sequoia’s 2026 Wellbeing Trends Report, revealing how organizations are adapting their benefits strategies in a year of economic uncertainty and rapid innovation.

Topics:

  • How GLP‑1 coverage is evolving – Understand how employers of different sizes are approaching GLP‑1 medications for weight loss, why coverage is becoming a strategic differentiator, and what guardrails organizations are putting in place.
  • Where employers are investing in mental health and where they are not – How is mental health wellbeing strategy shifting, and which measurement practices are linked to greater confidence and better results.
  • How 2026 medical renewals influenced employers’ wellbeing benefit choices – Explore how employers responded to one of the toughest renewal years to date—and why wellbeing programs remained surprisingly stable despite budget pressure.
  • Where AI fits into the future of benefits and wellbeing – See how HR and benefits teams are exploring AI, why adoption remains early, and what governance and training gaps need to be closed before scaling.

We also highlight where organizations are seeing traction, where challenges persist, and what forward‑thinking employers are prioritizing for the year ahead.

Whether you’re refining your 2026 roadmap or planning for 2027, this session will give you actionable, data‑backed takeaways to guide confident decision‑making.
