Targeted wellness resources guide resort team members through every life stage, from early career growth and parenthood to healthy aging, caregiving and retirement
PALM BEACH, FL – At The Breakers Palm Beach, one of America’s most iconic resorts, caring for employees is more than a workplace initiative; it is a long-standing business principle. Building on this philosophy, the 130-year-old property has recently expanded its Culture of Care and Well-being with a series of multigenerational wellness programs designed to help team members navigate life's most significant milestones—reflecting an organization that evolves alongside its people.
With a staff of 2,500 representing a wide range of ages and life stages, The Breakers recognizes that employees' needs change over time. By continuously assessing evolving priorities and introducing meaningful resources—most of which are on-site and conveniently accessible during workday shifts—the company strives to help team members thrive both personally and professionally. This people-first approach has contributed to a notable 85% employee retention rate and a 92% employee satisfaction rate, reinforcing The Breakers' reputation as one of hospitality's most respected employers.
"Today's workforce is navigating increasingly complex personal and family responsibilities, many of which have historically received little attention in the workplace," said Denise Bober, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at The Breakers. "Whether an employee is raising children, caring for an aging parent, navigating a major health transition or preparing for retirement, employers have an opportunity to provide resources that make a tangible difference. The Breakers’ comprehensive suite of multigenerational wellness initiatives underscores our commitment to providing support through every stage of life."
