Are you looking for ways to improve workplace wellbeing? You and your employees spend most of the day in the office, so placing an emphasis on employee wellbeing can help in improving workplace wellbeing as a whole. At Sterling Wellness Solutions, we work with you to improve the health of the teams in your organization. One way we accomplish that is through our wellbeing management services. Our wellbeing management services focus on a well-rounded approach to the wellbeing of your team members. By improving workplace wellbeing, you can positively impact wellbeing in other areas of your employees’ lives.
Offer Standing Desks
In the last few years, some workplaces have started transitioning from staying seated all day to having standing desks available for employees. Standing desks can help to improve workplace wellbeing. Using standing desks in the workplace helps engage different muscles in the body. Harvard Health notes that using standing desks in the workplace may be one of the factors in reducing obesity and diabetes. If you’re considering having standing desks in the workplace, you may want to encourage employees to start slowly with standing all day. Start in small increments to avoid any potential aches or pains that come from not being used to standing for long periods of time.
Schedule Workplace Outings
People love getting out of the office. As the weather starts to warm up, look for ways to get your employees outside or out of the office. Whether you schedule outdoor picnics for lunch or team building activities, look for opportunities to get away from the office. If the outings you plan have some kind of exercise built in, it’s even better as it can help your employees get healthier.
Offer Flexible Working Times
If the pandemic has taught other employers anything, it’s that your team members can effectively work from home. As things start to get back to normal, you may be considering a return to the workplace. Try to get employee input when it comes to reopening your office. You may also consider having the office available for employees who enjoy working around with people while still having other employees working from home and using the office as a base for important team updates.
Encourage Employee Honesty
Finally, you’ll want to encourage employee honesty. This can be about a variety of topics, including updating you about their workload or whether a corporate policy is a good one or not. By encouraging the honesty, your employees won’t feel like they’re walking on eggshells if something isn’t going well for them.
Improving workplace wellbeing can take some time. But once it is improved, it makes major changes in your workplace, including building a workplace culture. If you’re looking to make the overall health of your organization an important component, we can help. We’ve helped many different types of organizations turn employee health around, which ultimately saved the organizations money. Success begins with a healthy team.
