Over the last few months, the world has gone through a huge change and has had to learn to adapt to new ways of working. Pre COVID-19, company culture had come to light as the core of a business, with the idea that a happy workforce fuels a successful company. Employee wellbeing is a good place to start, and putting the health of your employees first is vital. As businesses across the world begin to think about reopening, employee wellbeing shouldn’t be overlooked.
As you reopen your business, focusing on employee wellbeing is a great solution to support your transition back to normality. Find out how:
Employee goal: improved health
Employer goal: reduced absenteeism
Great wellbeing benefits include flexible working, often employees struggle with their work / life balance. Offering flexible working hours allows employees to work on a schedule that suits them, helping boost morale and improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
Employee goal: increases happiness
Employer goal: decrease turnover
High employee turnover can be costly. The time that goes into the recruitment process, training and nurturing staff all adds up, which is why it’s important to focus on retaining your existing employees.
Looking after your employees and genuinely caring about their health and wellbeing is something they value. In fact, 93% of employees say they’re more likely to stay with an empathetic employer. When looking at implementing a wellbeing solution, be sure to find one that meets both your business’ and employees’ needs.
Employee goal: reduces stress
Employer goal: increases productivity
More sleep, healthier foods and more energy will most likely increase employees’ productivity. When employees are tired and stressed, they find it more difficult to focus and struggle to work as efficiently.
