What is Employee Wellbeing?

How you can help your staff with physical, mental and social stressors at work...


Address wellbeing to keep your workforce at peak efficiency

Employee Wellbeing is the general wellness and wellbeing of your employees, be it the physical, mental or social factors that contribute to their overall wellbeing. Essentially it’s looking at an employee's happiness, engagement and satisfaction for their job, and how their responsibilities, duties & expectations affect their overall health, happiness and stress levels within their working environment.

A healthy workplace can indeed help employees flourish and increase employee engagement to reach their full potential. 

Do you know how to create a healthy workplace for your employees? 

Firstly, it’s key to create a working environment that promotes employee wellbeing, benefiting both the employees and the organisation.

Secondly, you need to be able to identify your employee’s wellbeing. Many businesses can struggle to embrace employee wellbeing within the workplace. It’s not just being able to recognise the physical signs - it’s an employee's cognition too. So, their mood, their awareness, perceptions, reasoning as well as their Presenteeism in the workplace.  

Above all, employee wellbeing is about understanding your employees from a holistic perspective - which can only be achieved within organisations that focus on their employees’ health.
