Employee wellness does not mean expensive retreats, parties or some fancy presentations. Small changes and right behaviour can create big impact on employee wellness more than anything else.
📅 Plan, Plan, Plan
Encourage your teams to spend more time in planning stage. Before taking up anything, make a habit of planning for it at all levels. If the team is stretched continuously, revisit the plan. Plan for vacations as well.
👂Listen, Listen, Listen
Have mechanisms in place for employees to express their concerns. Online, skip level, one on ones, lunch with leaders help
⏰ Value knowledge over time
One day effort does not mean 24 hours. 1 week does not mean 7 days.
🛤 Train, Train, Train
Enable employees on their skills. Be one step ahead. Have group and individual plans.
👨💼Engage external help
Unbiased assessment helps. Find someone who can personalise the assessment for you.
🙌 Reward/Promote Good Managers
This sets the tone. Both performance and employee handling are equally important.
☹️ Handle stress
Stress could become toxic when passed down in hierarchy. Train leaders on stress management and empathy.
🏃♂️ Nudge fitness
Partner with local fitness vendors, give coupons, sessions on wellness, allocate some budget
🤝 Enable HR, Mentors
Enable them to know the pulse of employees and listen to their feedback
