Today’s work environment is a lot difference from what once was. It’s developed with our continual advance in medicine and what we’ve come to expect from it, as such we’ve come to expect more from work. The biggest motivator for this change could well be that companies potentially face severe consequences for failing to provide a safe and professional work environment. If an employee gets damaged, be it emotionally or physically, at work then they can legitimately sue and take huge amounts of money away from the company in question.
If your company is trying to improve conditions in the work place but you’re a little stuck for inspiration this quick, three point guide might be the key to your success and a better place to work for everyone.
You Have to Make it Interesting…
It’s not good coming up with new rules for employee wellness if they’re going to be met with derision. You’ll need to find a way to make it engaging and interesting. There are some great ways of doing that and which you decide on depends entirely on where you work and what the social side of that environment is like.
– You could make it into a competition. This works great in some places but will be seen negatively in others. You should know which your workplace is.
– You can get employees themselves involved. If they’re contributing and coming up with their own ideas which they’re given the authority to then follow up on, they’ll care more and make more of an effort.
Evaluate
Once the changes have been made you need to monitor them and make sure the desired affect is occurring, if it’s not then you’ll have to modify what’s going on.
Savings
The last and most important step is to do with finance as so much at work is. Are you making a saving? This can be in terms of less people missing work, less healthcare costs or simply a better and more focussed workforce being generally more productive!
