the future-proof workforce series: EP. 3 of 3
Total Wellbeing
In this episode, we’ll discuss:
What “total wellbeing” is.
How and why workers are being impacted, including new ways of working, financial uncertainty, discrimination and inequality, and more.
The effect this has on the individual and the organization.
How to leverage policies like flexible work arrangements, resources like wellness and mental health programs, and tools like Social Recognition to make a measurable difference.
While the COVID pandemic has subsided, burnout and stress in the workplace remain well above pre-pandemic levels. Studies by Google, Gallup, McKinsey, Workhuman, and more reveal this is a global phenomenon crossing borders and industries, impacting the performance and wellbeing of millions of workers. In fact, the WHO estimates that 12 billion working days are lost every year globally to depression and anxiety at a cost of US $1 trillion per year in lost productivity. That said, a positive work environment can protect mental health and promote the general wellbeing of employees. It's also one of the most effective ways companies can respond to stress factors that are often beyond their control. So, how can HR departments most effectively use their increasingly stretched budgets to most impact employee wellbeing?
