To create a healthier and more productive workforce, organizations have begun to expand their traditional view of wellness programs to focus on overall employee well-being. This new view extends beyond physical health to include emotional/mental, spiritual and financial well-being. Additionally, well-being takes a “holistic” view of the employee and incorporates other elements such as social well-being that includes relationships both in and outside of the workplace.
Managing the “whole employee” means acknowledging that everyone is multidimensional and has numerous roles to balance in life — all of which affect job performance. The “whole employee” concept is also about allowing the employee to bring their “whole” self to work. This means that physical well-being is not just about offering health screenings and assessments to your employees but also making real cultural changes in the workplace that allow employees to truly shut down when they clock out at the end of the day.
In this webinar, you will learn:
What the difference is between wellness and well-being.
What role well-being plays in the engagement of an organization’s employees.
How to embed well-being into the culture of your organization.
