We Have to Get on the Same Page About What We Mean by Wellbeing
In today's highly competitive work environment, employers are increasingly recognizing the importance of employee wellbeing. However, there is still a lack of clarity on what exactly we mean by wellbeing in the workplace. This ambiguity can have serious consequences. For instance, employers may implement workplace wellness programs that don't take into account all aspects of employee wellbeing, resulting in lower engagement, productivity, and ultimately, retention. Similarly, employees may have different perceptions of what wellbeing means to them, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction. To avoid such problems, we need to get on the same page about what we mean by wellbeing in the workplace.
On this episode of How People Work, Jordan and Jason discuss the importance of getting on the same page about wellbeing in the workplace and how this shared understanding will allow employers to develop workplace wellness programs that promote employee wellbeing in a holistic and effective manner. It will also help employees make informed decisions about their own wellbeing goals and enable them to communicate their needs effectively. Ultimately, achieving a shared understanding of wellbeing in the workplace will contribute to a healthier, happier, and more engaged workforce.
Key ideas and highlights:
- The conversation around wellness and employee engagement has been ever-growing since the pandemic. But, measuring wellness by engagement alone isn’t enough.
- You must implement wellbeing strategies that work in order to get the employee engagement you want.
- Employment is designated by the World Health Organization as a critical social determinant of health. How can employers maximize their employees’ wellbeing in the workplace?
- Deloitte Workforce Wellbeing Imperative
