1. Recognition:
Employees look for genuine and positive feedback for a job well done. Celebrate the accomplishments of team members that increase employee workplace happiness.
Employees who feel appreciated and valued are likely to be more efficient, productive, and stay at their company longer.
2. Leadership Opportunities:
If you want your staff to be engaged in your business, create a culture which provides opportunities for the team to learn, grow, and lead. Employees feel valued when employers invest time and effort to bring out the best in them.
Employees appreciate a career more than a job, so identifying the potential of an employee coupled with growth opportunities will keep the staff actively engaged in your business. Empowering employees is not about telling them to implement changes and then micro-managing every move. Instead, inspire the team to be responsible and give them true autonomy.
3. Know your employees/workers:
When you make your staff feel special, it goes a long way to add value to your business. Spend a few minutes getting to know how your team feels at work, their health, and encourage them to share their stories. It sends a message that their overall wellness is valued and fosters strong and healthy relationships.
4. Open communication:
Effective communication promotes a positive work environment where there are less chances of misunderstanding and encourages transparency and accountability. An open, honest communication and consistent feedback provide employees the direction they need to provide clients with the best service.
When you include your staff in critical decisions, employees know that their opinions matter and align them with the company’s goals. Ask input from employees often as they are in the know of what is popular and exciting specific to the industry as they follow influencers which share what is perceived as new trends.
5. Flexibility:
Employees value work flexibility more than any of the perks associated with a job, apart from pay and benefits. Inflexible work hours leave employees stressed, exhausted, sick, and a lot less happy at work. An openness to flexibility improves employee engagement and boosts performance and productivity when they know they have better control over their lives.
6. Rewards:
Rewards show how you appreciate your team. It not only identifies the diligence of the employees but also encourages them to work harder towards your business goals. It is so important to reward employees to show them that you value them and also care about their overall wellbeing and happiness.
Workplace wellness is not just about a list of staff programs but nurturing the best qualities in people through positive reinforcement, which will in turn boost your company’s bottom line.
