Returning to the New Workplace

Health and Safety

As workplaces reopen, issues related to employee mental health and chronic disease are launching the global workforce into another state of emergency. 

Employers have the crucial responsibility of protecting their total population both physically and mentally. Whether it's a review of existing health and safety systems, increasing benefits offerings, or improving communication about mental health initiatives, it's imperative that organizations put employee wellbeing first.  

Access these resources to learn how to set your workforce up for a successful return and actionable ways to build a culture of resilience centered around their health and safety.

Build a Culture of Wellbeing

The pandemic changed the world of work and wellness. Organizations who once considered employee wellbeing programs as "nice-to-have" are recognizing the essential role these initiatives play in keeping their workforce—whether onsite, remote, or hybrid—physically and mentally healthy, engaged, and productive. 

It's critical that your people feel that your organization cares about them. Now is the time to double down on a culture of wellbeing. Employees must have the tools to make health and wellbeing part of their daily routine while feeling connected and safe at work to help them perform their best in all aspects of their lives. 

When it comes to organizational wellbeing, business leaders must live it and breathe it. Access these resources to learn how you can build a world-class culture that can evolve through this transition and be prepared to thrive through future disruptions.

Cultivate Trust & Engagement

Motivating employees to care about their work and apply the discretionary effort required to build a competitive advantage for your organization will not come easy as they enter a new era of transition.

After what felt like a period of constantly adjusting, employees are burnt out, stressed, and nervous about another overwhelming routine and lifestyle change. Preoccupation with these anxieties might prevent them from being fully present and engaged at work.

But, there is an opportunity here. Research shows that employees are looking to their employers more than ever for trusted information and guidance, particularly when it comes to their mental health. 

Access these resources for insights on how you can communicate with and mobilize your people to make each employee's purpose and success in the organization clear and achievable.

Increase Motivation & Productivity

The pandemic upset the routines of many, leaving employees with a new set of competing priorities. How do you motivate them to achieve the goals necessary to help your organization fulfill its mission? Simple: Organizations succeed when employees thrive.

If your people aren't well, they won't be engaged. If they're not engaged, they likely won't be productive. And if your people aren't productive, you can expect business outcomes to suffer. By supporting your employees' most fundamental needs by empowering them to prioritize their health and wellbeing, you'll directly influence their ability to achieve their performance goals—along with your ability to move the needle on your company's bottom line.

Connect a Dispersed Workforce

Some of your employees are returning to the workplace, some will continue to work from home, some will adopt a hybrid schedule, and other essential workers never left to begin with. Enabling employees to maintain a social connection with their colleagues and collaborate effectively is mission-critical for your organization in this new world of work.

Research shows that close social connections at work make employees seven times more likely to be engaged in their jobs, provide excellent customer experience, produce higher quality work, and avoid safety incidents. Fueled by so much more than conference calls and emails, these bonds are all about common goals and experiences.

No matter where your employees work, there’s one thing we can all agree on: strong social connections fosters whole-person wellbeing. By helping your people stay connected, you'll build a universal culture that unites employees and drives performance.
