Why Employee Well-Being is Essential to the Future of Your Company

Did you know that only 70% of small businesses in Canada make it to five years? One of the best ways to make a significant impact on the overall health and success of your organization is by focusing on employee retention. The reality is, you save a lot of time and money when you focus on supporting your existing employees, instead of starting at square one with new ones. Not only that, but your business will be stronger when you have staff that also feels invested in the organization.

If you want to run your business at optimal efficiency, you need employees that also feel driven to achieve your goals. The fastest way to building that bridge between your employees and your goals is through fostering employee well-being.

These days, mental health and employee well-being are top priorities for HR managers and business owners all over the world. In Canada, the corporate wellness market was valued at USD 2.4 billion in 2021 and is only expected to continue to grow beyond 2022. People are becoming increasingly aware of the ways stress affects our lives—both internally and externally. So, it’s important that those in leadership positions take the time to understand how they can better support employee well-being and contribute to an overall positive environment focused on growth.

What is employee well-being?

The term employee wellbeing includes everything that can impact the mental and physical health of someone in the workplace.

This includes but is not limited to:

· Job satisfaction

· Workplace culture

· Work-life balance

You should always welcome feedback from your employees whenever possible. Even if you need to do it anonymously to make people feel more comfortable, it really helps to have a genuine understanding of how everyone feels. You can’t find a solution for a problem if you don’t know it exists, so make sure your staff knows that at the end of the day, it’s all about improving their day-to-day.

Why does employee well-being matter at work?

Keeping employee wellbeing a priority benefits everyone in the workplace. Management will have a happier and more productive workforce, and employees will be more at ease and feel fulfilled in their work environment.

Advantages of employee well-being

The bottom line is, employee wellbeing helps the organization as a whole just as much as it does the individual. When you spend a little time investing in your employees and how they feel, you can expect to conduct work more efficiently and experience improved relationships across the board.

Some other benefits of employee wellbeing initiatives include:

· Increased employee engagement

· Improved company reputation

· Lowers risk of burnout

· Feelings of empowerment lead to better productivity

With workplace environments changing, it’s important to make sure that employees feel supported and engaged throughout the workday. When you focus your attention to the well-being of your employees, you’ll start to notice positive changes in their work performance as well.

At the end of the day, it’s all about maintaining a sense of balance, structure, and providing the feedback and support your employees need. When you focus on employee well-being, you’re going to naturally improve the function of your business.

Managing Employee Attitudes and Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 31, 2022

From the moment we wake up, our attitude starts to shape the experience of our entire day. Starting your day off on a negative note typically has a snowball effect, and only helps you find more things wrong as you continue with your responsibilities for the day. So how can we prevent this from taking over the workplace?

How to monitor employee attitudes in the workplace:

– Start the workday with a team meeting and try to gauge where everyone is at

– For anyone that seems unmotivated, touch base with them and see if there is a solution you might be able to provide—like access to tools or supplies.

– When you get a sense that someone is having a rough day, give them an opportunity to take a moment for themselves.

Being a leader means dealing with a lot of different emotions at the same time. You can never predict how employees will show up, but you can control how you support them.

Informal vs Formal Power to Get Results and Build Relationships

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 25, 2022

When it comes to managing an organization, there’s always going to be some kind of formal power structure. Those in charge are given control because of their job title, so employees have to listen in order to maintain their job and income.

However, informal power is highly underrated, and sometimes a more effective way to harness power in the workplace and get the results you need.

– Informal power stems from the relationships you build and the trust you share with coworkers.

– An example of informal power would be an employee going above and beyond for someone simply because they want to.

They aren’t carrying out a task because it’s part of their work, but instead out of a true desire to perform an action that will benefit someone they have built a relationship with. The stronger your informal power, the better chance you have at increasing engagement.

Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices for Employee Engagement: Reduce Recruitment Bias

Post author By mgauthier
Post date August 10, 2022

Diversity and inclusion are imperative for employee engagement. There’s no such thing as a healthy workplace that doesn’t place value on diversity and create a culture of inclusion. It’s natural to gravitate towards people and energy that seem familiar, but it is imperative that your recruiting team is trained against unconscious bias.

These days, there are all types of programs that HR departments can use for recruitment processes. You can do things like filter candidates strictly by their skills and experience, so you know that each candidate is being evaluated solely on their ability to do the job.

Questions for leaders:

What programs do you use for recruiting?

Are you screening candidates based on skills before they come in for an interview?

What are you doing to ensure an inclusive recruitment process that avoids any bias?

Activities to Increase Positive Thinking in the Workplace

Post author By mgauthier
Post date July 4, 2022

You might be aware that positive thinking leads to a more efficient workplace but putting it into practice is easier said than done.

Here are some ideas for activities to keep in mind if you want to encourage your employees to adopt a more positive mindset.

– Gratitude exercises: this could be part of your morning meetings or just something that gets sent out in an email. Give employees the chance to be present for a moment and reflect on things they might forget they are grateful for.

– Anonymous tip jar: let employees vent about ways to improve upon current workplace culture.

– Special events: Team-building events are great for enforcing a positive dynamic.

At the end of the day, mindset is everything and it affects our daily life and work. As a leader, it’s crucial that you take these ideas into consideration for your own workplace.

How Positivity Increases Engagement and Productivity

Post author By mgauthier
Post date June 30, 2022

You’ll have a better chance of increasing engagement among your employees when there is a sense of positivity at work.

What to expect from a positive working environment:

– Punctuality: When you create a dynamic that people want to be a part of, you can expect more employees to show up on time.

– Productivity: Positive feelings make it feel exciting to move forward, whereas stress can sometimes cause people to freeze and procrastinate.

– Confident employees: A positive environment encourages better communication, which leads to better informed and more confident employees.

Instead of focusing on negative workplace feelings like stress and overwhelm, positivity helps people focus on the task at hand.

Instead of getting distracted by the negative, they remain engaged in their work and contribute to the overall efficiency of your workplace.
