August Resolution Roundup

August Resolution Roundup

The pandemic fallout and subsequent talent war mean organisations are more focused than ever on creating a caring workplace culture. This month I’m discussing what that looks like, how organisations can use it to build employee engagement and the hurdles you might face.

IN THE NEWS

This article from Forbes shares what employers can learn from the healthcare industry and its ‘whole of patient’ approach.

Helping employees take care of all aspects of their lives in and outside of work results in an empowered, happier and more successful workforce—leading to an improved bottom line.

Some of the less common benefits and cultural programs they recommend for consideration include:

  • Fertility and family planning benefits
  • Internal mentorship programs.
  • Child and older adult care support.
  • Financial education and tools.
  • Social support networks.
  • Spiritual health opportunities

Organisations should conduct regular surveys and interviews with employees to know what’s wanted, needed and working. Need help to get started? Get customised results around your workplace culture by answering 20 yes/no questions.

TOPIC OF THE MONTH

Hgh-performance, the old boys club, formal workwear and corner offices—we’re now more likely to see and hear about work-life balance, diversity & inclusion, casual dress codes and remote or hybrid working.

The workplace has drastically changed over the last two decades. So too has the attitudes of employers and employees. Caring is starting to define our workplace culture as employers embrace the view that having a compelling purpose + engaged employees = greater profit.

I believe there are no negatives to moving towards a more caring workplace culture, but in the sprint towards it, there are hurdles to overcome. Discover what they are so you can plan ahead.
