Job security, health top employee concerns

American workers’ persistent unease has been well-documented in recent months, with job security and health care costs leading our list of worry.

What might a company do to alleviate these concerns?

Neil Lebovits, president and chief operating officer of Ajilon Professional Staffing, a unit of Swiss-based human resources outfit Adecco Group SA, offers a few tips.

¢ Encourage 401(k) contributions. Millions of people skip this opportunity at work, often passing up “free money” from employers who match, and millions of others make far punier donations than prudent.

¢ Promote good health. The rise of paid gym memberships and group workout sessions is a wise start. But smoking cessation efforts, abundant healthy snacks in lieu of junk food machines and walking clubs also would be good.
