Employee wellbeing has climbed the priorities’ list at most organizations around the country since the pandemic. As leaders seek to continuously improve their employee experience to attract and retain talent, wellness has become a vital consideration for business success. Here are some fresh ideas on what companies can do to better incorporate wellness into their workflow.
Many employees are enjoying the perks of working from home a few days a week, making them happier and more productive in most instances. Meanwhile, organizations are realizing significant savings by eliminating steep overhead costs.
Companies that aren’t ready to go fully remote may find a great compromise in flexible work, where employees choose the days/times they come into the office. Flexible working is a great option that helps reduce stress.
“We’ve found that flexibility is key to promoting the mental well-being of employees,” says Leslie Tarnacki, SVP of Human Resources at WorkForce Software. “As a result, the company has implemented many initiatives to improve employee well-being, including flexible breaks and other times away from the desk.”
