A Well-being Program
The Current Way | A New Way
reactive or pro-active
Companies and businesses are investing in a variety of ways to improve staff morale, absenteeism, team dynamics. However, a reactive response to the commonly experienced problems provides short-term solutions and do not deliver long-term sustainability or growth for a company and its employees.
Typically implemented programs such as the following listed are unfortunately in many cases only scratching the surface. Instead there needs to be pro-active response programs that teach skills to support and develop people (continuously) rather than applying a “Band-Aid” for existing problems.
THE CURRENT WAY
-
Cultural change programs
-
Mental Health support (usually reactive)
-
Sick and carer’s leave financial support
-
Courses in stress management
-
HR counselling to improve poor performance
-
Leadership and management courses
A new way of Pro-active Response will ensure that current problems are addressed and furthermore planning and consideration is undertaken and actioned to assure change for future generations and workings years of a business. It is a cultural change overall.
A NEW WAY – ESSENTIAL STEPS
-
Proactive and continuous support of staff
-
Identify potential problem areas early and invest in proactive well-being programs to reduce reactive costs e.g. don’t wait until someone is unwell either physically or emotionally to engage them in well-being programs
-
Regular one on one support through Body Treatments and Private Consultations
-
Work with individual's needs for the benefit of the whole
-
Recognise and appreciate the strengths of the individual
-
Foster harmonious workplace
A NEW WAY – HAVING PEOPLE THAT LOVE THEIR JOB !
-
A successful organisation doesn’t want just good workers;
they want people who love their job! -
Loving your work brings innovation, easier ways of working,
and a snowball effect amongst others.
A NEW WAY – TEAM DYNAMICS
-
People in the workplace need to work as a cohesive unit in order for successful outcomes to be achieved.
-
People working together without any dynamics of personality, competition, aggressive behaviour, or bullying.
A NEW WAY – TIPPING POINT
-
Culture in the workplace can be a crucial contributor to all of the above, and is a critical success factor in long and lasting change.
-
Once a percentage of the workplace tips towards more enthusiastic and harmonious work practices, there is a likelihood of there being a cultural change for all.
A NEW WAY – VALUE FROM HUMAN RESOURCE INVESTMENT
-
Investments in human resources departments to support staff through difficult times including illnesses, stress, family situations is significant.
-
Performance coaching to raise the bar of job satisfaction and employee management.
