Employee wellbeing?

What do we mean by wellbeing? Wellbeing impacts a number of different areas at work, it’s about the work itself, the work environment, workload and relationships with colleagues. There are of course factors outside of work that can impact employee wellbeing too, such as financial concerns, alcohol or drug dependence, relationships and health.

Having the right employee wellbeing strategy, will not only help you attract and retain the best people, but can also help your employees to develop resilience, manage stress, anxiety and minimise absenteeism.

Workplaces that take a proactive and holistic approach to wellbeing are reporting more positive working relationships, greater resilience and the ability to cope at work with failures and issues.

Having a strategic approach can ensure you create an engaged, healthy and inclusive culture that benefits your team and your bottom line.

Employee engagement

Having a team, who love their work, means you’ll have a team of highly engaged and productive employees.

Do you know how your employees feel about their work? How do you know if your employees are engaged? Well, one way is to look at how many people are leaving you! The number of employees’ leaving you is known as “attrition” and depending on how many people are leaving you, this may indicate a healthy attrition level or that somethings going wrong!

We can work with you in a number of different ways to confirm your staff turnover level and how this compares to the UK average, score your level of employee engagement and identify and implement any actions needed to improve employee engagement.

Meraki HR Training and Coaching

If you can develop your employees skills and confidence and give them challenging work, they are far more likely to enjoy their work, perform at their best and stay working for you – rather than leaving to join one of your competitors!
