A happy workforce is a motivated workforce. Taking care of your employees’ wellbeing will help you to build a business that is successful, productive and sustainable. Supporting their physical and financial well-being is just as important.
Mental Health: Prioritising and Protecting It
It is important to look after the mental health of your team in order to improve staff retention and job happiness. A service like an EAP (Employee Assistance Programme), provides a safe, confidential space for employees to seek professional help with their challenges. Integrating wellness days into your policies at work is another great way to support your employees. Sometimes, a day of rest and recharge is all that’s needed to improve a person’s mental state. This option allows your employees to take a break and reset, while also showing them that you care.
Enhancing Physical Wellbeing
You can support the physical well-being of your employees in many different ways. Depending on what you do, you might prefer a certain area. We would recommend a family-friendly On Demand GP Service. It allows them to access medical care at any time and place that is convenient for their schedule. You can even go a step further and reduce financial barriers for people to attend fitness classes or venues by using a salary sacrifice. You can let your employees choose their favorite location or sport while saving a lot on membership fees.
Financial Wellness
It has never been more important to think about the financial well-being of your team, especially with costs on the rise. You can help your team live comfortably by offering discounts on essentials and fun days out. Salary sacrifices are another way to lower financial barriers for upgrades, services or a well-deserved vacation. Flexible working is a modern way to improve your financial well-being. Reduce the cost of commutes, childcare costs and other unplanned expenses that come with working in an office. Allowing your employees to work at home for just a few days per week can save them hundreds of dollars each year.
