The topic that’s on everybody’s lips right now.
But why is promoting well being in your organisation important and how can you do it?
Here’s 7 reasons why:
Wellbeing improves staff health behaviors. In other words, if you feel good, you’re more inclined to look after yourself. Eat well, work out, chill out.
Wellbeing reduces health risks. Similarly, if you’re looking after yourself, you’re less likely to get ill. Simples.
As a result of the above, Healthcare costs and impact on the NHS are reduced. Healthcare and life policies are lower.
Wellbeing improves productivity. It’s proven that poor life choices such as smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise significantly reduces productivity.
Absence is reduced by improved wellbeing. If you’re feeling rubbish about yourself or you’re stressed to the eyeballs you are more likely to go sick, bunk off or play hooky!
Wellbeing is infectious. Recruitment and retention are both easier with a happy team.
Wellbeing builds and maintains good morale, creativity, problem solving and spontaneity.
And here’s some ways you can promote wellbeing:
Practice and promote selfcare. Healthy body, healthy mind. Prevention is better than cure.
Chill Winston. Take breaks. Destress.
Maintain work-life balance. Working from home makes it easy to pop on the laptop or scroll yourself into a linkedin coma.
Communicate. Zoom, Whatsapp, letter, a walk round the block, a public outpouring of emotion on Facebook. Whatever it takes. It’s good to talk.
Employee support. Professional help is out there. Some of it is even free. If you need help, ask for it. Don’t suffer in silence.
Practice mindfulness. It is scientifically proven to help relieve pain, reduce stress, and ease anxiety.
