Why Does Employee Well-Being Matter?

 Why Does Employee Well-Being Matter? 

(The Gallup Organization — declared that “Employee wellbeing is key for workplace productivity.” They said)

“When your employees’ wellbeing is thriving, your organization directly benefits — they take fewer sick days, deliver higher performance, and have lower rates of burnout and turnover. But when your employees’ wellbeing suffers, so does your organization’s bottom line

1.     Job Control

According to a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, when someone has limited control over their employment, it negatively affects their mental health. Micromanagement and a difficult job can have a negative impact on an employee's physical health.

2. Drop in performance and motivation to learn

Your employees' motivation, cognitive and learning abilities, and emotional health are all negatively impacted by a toxic, chaotic work environment. Their efforts will be ineffective if they have no control over other circumstances like bad management, a lack of work-life balance, or team disagreements.

Programs for the wellbeing of your employees break unhealthy work habits and provides your staff members the chance to develop new skills or consider novel concepts.

3. Exacerbated physical and mental stress

Group on performed a study in July 2016 on the effects of overwork. The results found that 38% work too much, 46% never had time to relax, and 60% have an unhealthy work-life balance.

4. Disengagement at work

A poisonous, chaotic work atmosphere is bad for your employees' motivation, cognitive and learning ability, and emotional well-being. If they have no control over external factors like poor management, a lack of work-life balance, or interpersonal conflicts on the team, their efforts will be useless.

Healthy work habits are broken by employee wellness programs, which also give staff members the chance to learn new skills or contemplate creative ideas.

Well-being initiatives like 1:1’s with employees, recognition programs, and weekly check-ins go beyond helping a struggling employee – they uplift the spirit of your entire team too.

5. Lack of social support

Your employees' motivation, cognitive and learning abilities, and emotional health will all suffer in a toxic, chaotic workplace. Their efforts will be ineffective if they cannot influence outside variables like bad management, a lack of work-life balance, or interpersonal issues within the team.

Employee wellness programs encourage employees to break unhealthy work habits while also giving them the chance to develop new skills or think of original ideas.
