If you are managing a large insurance brand then it’s worth nothing that employees are becoming more concerned with wellbeing, private healhcare and emotional support in the workplace. Here’s the word;
A new report which collates data from over 50,000 workers worldwide reveals that employees are more concerned about their wellbeing than ever before. As the cost of living rises and after adjusting to life post-pandemic, employee concerns about issues relating to their general wellbeing have risen by a staggering 88% in the last 12 months alone.
The report, collated by change activation platform Rungway, looks into the state of inclusivity in the workplace to reveal how leaders are supporting their staff. The report also examines how businesses are communicating change, how people seek connections within their company, and the positive impact supporting each other through change has on the individual and the organisation.
Findings from Rungway’s report titled ‘The State of Inclusivity in the Workplace 2023’ shows employee concerns about wellbeing issues have risen by 88% in the past 12 months, while questions relating to personal challenges being posted on the Rungway platform increased by 38% from 2021 to 2022. A third of all posts in the second half of 2022 were on the topic of wellbeing.
Julie Chakraverty, the founder of Rungway, comments:
“In order to improve the wellbeing of your staff, it’s important to ensure that your staff feel looked after and respected by the business, as this is a major factor in ensuring that staff feel as if their wellbeing is being looked after.
“Another step to take to ensure that the wellbeing of staff in your business is a top priority, is to set up an employee assistance programme. Programmes like this make sure that employees have a safe place to go to if they’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure about how to deal with a situation. Providing your staff with programmes like these highlight that they’re being looked after by the business, being able to gain confidential advice, whether personal or work related.
“Employee benefits are also extremely important to help boost the wellbeing of staff, with benefits such as private healthcare, discounted gym memberships, mental health days and salary sacrifice schemes all helping to improve staff’s wellbeing.
