Are your employees stressed? Are your employees happy? Do your employees feel appreciated?
If employers are not thinking about the well-being of employees, then employers need to stop and think about it. It is important that employers invest in their employees. And this is a relatively new concept – investing in employee well-being. Here are some ideas to think about:
- A sense of belonging is critical to employee satisfaction. With work schedules including hybrid and remote set ups, social connections at work is more difficult. Consider team-building events, and in-person collaboration days where remote employees come to the office if feasible.
- With the economy the way it is, employees are facing financial insecurity. Consider offering personalized financial planning and benefits like debt counseling.
- A comprehensive view of well-being integrates mental, physical and purpose-driven initiatives. Consider more employer-provided insurance programs that offer tools that embrace holistic well-being.
