Wellbeing solutions that WORK.
“If I get invited to another lunch and learn, I’ll scream.” That’s what a lawyer told me recently. And it’s understandable. Businesses can’t keep throwing together various wellbeing initiatives to tick the box. And what’s the point? You’re throwing money at something that ultimately doesn’t bring a strong ROI. Money down the drain, and employees that don’t truly feel supported.
That’s not to say that lunch and learns are ineffective. They can be a great addition to an existing and robust wellbeing strategy. The key here is to ensure that they are part of a strategy. Part of the bigger picture; the picture where the company genuinely understands the struggles of the workforce, and tackles those issues strategically.
When you invest in wellbeing strategically, numerous studies show that people and companies perform significantly better than those who don’t invest in wellbeing (if you need help building a business case, contact me).
It is in the company’s best interests to invest in the wellbeing of their employees in order to improve the bottom line. When people feel better, they work efficiently and produce work aligned to achieving company objectives. Investing time and money into a wellbeing strategy and initiatives is a win-win for both the company and its employees. People feel happier and healthier, and the company reaches its objectives faster and more efficiently.
