Employee wellness is on the rise, and so is our dependence on technology. If you want your company’s wellness program to create real, lasting change for employees, try offering digital resources that can be enjoyed from any location and help employees achieve their professional and personal-related goals. If employees can access wellness resources from their home computers or simply reach into their pockets to access a smart phone app, it’s much easier for them to make time for their wellness and professional development.
Here are three types of digital resources that can make a positive impact on employee morale, wellness and professional development:
Audiobooks

Audiobooks continue to rise in popularity among business professionals, as they can help transform a lengthy car or plane ride into a learning opportunity. There’s an audiobook for every type of listener, on every subject from public speaking to time management. These types of audiobooks can help develop confidence, encourage effective communication, and develop more persuasive leaders.
