Developing an Effective Workplace Wellbeing Strategy
Never has there been a more crucial time to embed wellbeing into your workplace for a healthy workforce.
.
Healthy staff = healthy business
.
But too often, wellbeing strategies are a quick “tick the box” scenario – a paper bag lunch talk meaning staff aren’t getting a reasonable break to rest and recover, a subsidised yoga class in which the times don’t suit, or perhaps a few mental health posters popped up on the wall in the staff room. These strategies can work for some people, but require staff to take personal responsibility…and what if they don’t want to?
.
What if we actually review each business in terms of its environment, culture, policies and procedures, and provisions for meaningful staff training? And if we look to embed the proven strategies for mental wellbeing into the organisation? What if we find ways to integrate best practice phsycial health into the very values and culture of a business? And all of this being clearly communicated with staff and stakeholders?
.
Then we can create meaningful and sustained change – enhanced workplace morale, staff who feel valued, reduced presenteeism, a true brand story to share with customers and the community, staff who are educated and empowered with a ripple effect to their homelife with friends and family, in time real ROI with reduced absenteeism and enhanced retention rates.
