Workplace Wellness

May Day!

A motor vehicle needs service after it has travelled an average of 5,000 km give or take. If you miss this service, the car becomes temperamental (not starting, jerking, overheating, you notice overconsumption of fuel) and other mechanical issues. In high - end models, the "check engine" light will often come on as a warning and if you do not heed this alert, the car just stops moving! Next thing you know, you are incurring more expenses on mechanic, flat bed tow truck, besides having to still service the car.

Employees also have a "check engine light". They start fading, noticeable persona changes manifest (suddenly quiet or very grumpy), frequent errors, performance is sub-optimal and you pick up general lethargy. These are signs your workforce is running on empty. Usually, such maladies are easily cured by rest. Sometimes the problem is deeper, requiring more intervention than a time-out. In May 2021, I participated in a Webinar hosted by Conversations With Wandy #CWW on wellness at the workplace.

CWW published an Industry Report based this topic that serves as a handbook covering:

1. Aspects of wellness;
2. Creating a business case for wellness;
3. Wellness in action;
4. Employee Assistance Programs;
5. Collaboration to practical workplace wellness
