10 well-being practices leaders should follow
A new Gallup report outlines exactly what leaders should do to embed well-being into their organization.
Many of us are eager to go back to “normal,” but there’s one aspect of that normal that no one should want to return: lack of well-being support. Well-being support in the workplace rose during the early months of the pandemic to 50%, according to Gallup, but that’s now losing steam, dropping 13% points since last spring.
There are 10 ways your leaders can support employee well-being, per Gallup, and communicators can help guide their efforts.
1. Maintain a strong and sustained leadership voice regarding the importance of well-being. Wellbeing efforts that stem from the CEO work best.
2. Demonstrate a shared and consistent definition of what is meant by “well-being.” The five elements are career, social, financial, physical and community. Well-being programs that clearly define what well-being are more successful.
3. Keep the line of communication constantly open. Have a meaningful conversation once a week with employees.
