Great Companies Focus on Health and Wellness


Great companies focus on health and wellnness. It enhances employee retention and aid in the recruitment and hiring of new team members. 

When your team prioritizes personal health and wellness, it’s a win for everyone. They enjoy a higher quality of life, while the company itself benefits from higher productivity, lower absenteeism, and improved morale.

But while some employees will be totally on board with physical fitness efforts, others may need a little coaxing. Part of your job is to ensure that wellness is built into your company culture.

Here are 6 Ways that great companies Incorporate Health and Wellness into their culture

1: Only offer healthy snack options. You may have some employees who bristle if you remove candy bars from the break room or change up the vending machine selections. Because in the long run, it’s just very hard to prioritize health when there is junk food all around.

2: Initiate some physical activity. This can be as low-key as you want it to be. Maybe you arrange for on-site yoga instruction during the lunch hour. Maybe you have a formal program where anyone who wants to join can go for a walk around the building at a set time each morning. Or maybe you just want to casually get up and stroll around yourself, leading your team by example.

3: Allow some sleeping. Yes, really: Accommodating those who want to sneak off for a power nap can actually be a valuable way to let employees recharge their batteries and gear up for a stretch of fresh productivity.

4: Educate. Bring in some guest speakers who can talk to your employees about physical fitness, and to offer some practical steps for dealing with stress in a healthy and constructive way.

5: Hold walking meetings. One more approach that I personally like: Instead of meeting around the conference table, hold brainstorming sessions outside. Get everyone up and moving around a little bit. Not only does this promote fitness, but it can generate some stronger ideas, too!

6: Be flexible. If you have employees who want to take some time to work out each day, be as lenient as you can. Because as long as they still get their work done, letting them have time for exercise can be a powerful way to show how serious you are about wellness.

If you want to increase productivity and create a happy work enviornment focusing on health and wellness is a great place to start!

Managing Employee Experience When Leadership Changes


How do we maintain employee experience when leadership changes  More importantly how does that employee experience effect the company.that's what I would like to discuss with you today.

Where does employee experience come from? That’s a more complicated question than you might think. My personal belief is that employee experience emanates largely from the people on your team—from their shared values and objectives. 
With that said, I also think team leaders play a significant role in shaping and codifying that culture.

So what happens when your team leader leaves? Can the remaining employees keep that spark alive? I believe that they can—and here are some suggestions for how. 

Here are five ways we can maintain the employee experience and even make it better!

#1 Look back to your statements of purpose. One thing the team can do together is to use the departure of a leader as an excuse to review their core values. Do you have a mission statement? A written document that outlines your values? Take some time to remind yourself of what those documents say.

 #2 Focus on communication. If you’re in a position of leadership or management, communicate with the people who report to you. Remind them of your company’s values and commit to doubling down on them even during a season of change.

#3 Talk about anxieties. You and your team members may have some concerns about the long-term fate of your culture. Talk through those anxieties and see if you can come up with some practical ways to safeguard your shared values. It all comes back to communication!

#4 Connect with your customers. Sometimes, talking with your customers and clients is a good way to remind yourself of what your values are—and of why you committed to them in the first place!

#5 Remember your role in shaping culture. Finally, just remind yourself that employee experience doesn’t emanate from any one leader; you and your team members create the experience together through your everyday decisions and priorities.

The power to preserve your  positive employee experience and culture ultimately lies with you!
