As leaders and people managers, the challenges we have faced during the past several years have been daunting. Solving the many challenges brought on by the pandemic permanently changed the nature of work, the work environment, and the workplace. In the wake of these changes, many are now dealing with personal challenges that directly and indirectly affect their wellness and wellbeing. To help, organizations have enhanced their employee assistance, paid time off, and fitness and nutrition programs. Others have revised their approaches to employee surveys to detect signs of anxiety and burnout, and many have trained their people managers to have “sensing” conversations with their direct reports. Offering flexible work schedules, stay plans, mindfulness, telehealth, and financial advisory services for employees are on the increase and showing promise.
Equally important, the ongoing role of a leader in employee wellness and wellbeing is critical to fostering a healthy, productive, and positive work environment. The C-Suite plays a crucial role in shaping and implementing strategies for employee wellness and wellbeing across the organization. Their influence extends beyond setting policies—they help cultivate a culture that prioritizes the overall health and satisfaction of employees.
In this webinar, we will share seven important ways the C-Suite contributes:
- Strategic Leadership and Vision
- Resource Allocation
- Culture Shaping
- Policy Development
- Accountability and Measurement
- Employee Engagement
- Long-Term Sustainability
