The health, wellness and wellbeing of the employees should be every leader’s concern.
Organizations have the duty of care to support their people in maintaining a good balance in their mental, emotional, and physical wellness.
People truly drive the business, but I’ll say an all-round healthy workforce would drive the organization to success.
These tips can help Business and Organizational Leaders exhibit their duty of care:
- In the last 2years, all the major health insurance have updated their offerings to cover additional areas of wellness, ensuring you and your employees are aware of the new benefits and leveraging them.
- Create an avenue for employees to openly discuss and share stories, and tips on health and wellness within your organization.
- Listen more and pay closer attention to employee patterns. Things don’t just escalate, the signs are always there.
- With what reports have shown to be a common trigger in employees’ wellbeing in the last 2years, every leader should take a mental first aid course.
I don’t want you all to be doctors 😊, I am advocating for better aware and empathetic business Leaders.
