Redefining the idea of success with corporate wellbeing

What does it really mean to be successful in life? For many years people have associated the concept of success with purely material elements. In reality, today we know that the answer is much more nuanced and personal.

‍

We live in times when sudden changes and constant uncertainty are the order of the day. The pandemic of recent years has disrupted our habits and the way we experience work. Many people have rethought their priorities, seeking a better work-life balance. Economic goals are no longer enough to define individual fulfillment

‍

An example of this is the "Great Resignation" that saw millions of people around the world resign voluntarily to seek new, more satisfying job opportunities with a better work-life balance. Many realized that they were unwilling to sacrifice personal serenity on the altar of career.

‍

At the same time, the phenomenon of Quiet Quitting, or the attitude of those who, while remaining in the same workplace, decide to stop giving 100 percent of their energy without proper recognition, was discussed.

‍

Both movements clearly show how the time is ripe to reframe the concept of success entirely, giving it a deeper and more human meaning. Today it is serenity, relationships, and mental and physical well-being that count. And the workplace plays a central role: it is where we spend most of our day and where we cultivate our ambitions. The most enlightened companies have realized that the well-being of employees is a crucial factor, not only in increasing their productivity but above all in enabling them to fully realize themselves as people.

‍

Corporate wellbeing, or corporate wellness, is a concept about thework environment a company creates for its employees. This can include a wide range of aspects, including employees' physical and mental health, their happiness and satisfaction at work, and their work-life balance.

‍

The goal of corporate wellbeing is to create a positive and productive work environment that helps employees feel valued and perform at their best. This can include initiatives such as fitness and mindfulness programs, healthy food in the office, flexible work policies that allow for a better work-life balance, and ensuring that employees have access to mental health support as needed.

‍

All of this can have a significant impact on productivity, employee retention and company reputation.

‍

So we can say that corporate wellbeing is above all an investment in the team that generates huge returns. An environment that inspires the best in us is worth its weight in gold, because a company's real asset is its people.  

‍

Imagine for a moment your company without the people who drive it. No matter how cutting-edge the technology, how much the brand may resonate, without the people, a company is just an empty shell.

‍

An employee who feels valued, cared for and supported is not only a happier employee, but also a more productive one. And a productive employee is more creative, more engaged and more likely to stay with the company for the long term. This is the key to reducing turnover, increasing retention and creating a work environment that everyone wants to be a part of.

‍

What would happen if, starting tomorrow, your company started doing more for the people who work there? It's not just about creating a successful company, it's about building a healthy, happy and productive workplace.

‍

It is time to rethink the concept of success. For too long, we have measured success in terms of profit, growth, market share. But these are simple figures that, while they may give insight into economic performance, fail to capture the essence of what makes a company truly great.

‍

A truly successful company makes a profit, certainly, but it does not limit itself to that. It makes a difference. And it makes a difference not only to its partners and customers, but to each and every individual who works within it. Because a company made up of fulfilled and satisfied employees is not just a successful company. It is a company that matters.

fundamental dimensions of well-being: physical, emotional, financial, social and occupational. These dimensions interact with each other and are all important for people's overall well-being.

‍

Physical: This dimension is about promoting a safe and healthy work environment and encouraging an active lifestyle. It is not only about ensuring compliance with safety regulations, but also about encouraging healthy behaviors such as physical activity, for example:

• Proposed subscriptions to gyms or online fitness classes
• Creating health and fitness challenges among employees
• Offering healthy food and snacks in common spaces

‍

Emotional: Emotional well-being is fundamental to the mental health of employees. This dimension of well-being should include supporting mental health and creating a corporate culture of acceptance and understanding.

‍

• Access to counseling or coaching services
• Mindfulness and meditation classes
• Workshop on stress management

‍

Financial: Financial well-being is often overlooked, but it is essential to employee peace of mind . This involves providing fair wages, competitive benefits, and opportunities for professional growth, including: 

‍

• Information sessions on money management and retirement
• Offering employee loans at low interest rates
• Performance bonus or profit sharing

‍

Social: The social dimension of well-being concerns the creation of a positive corporate culture that promotes collaboration and social interaction, with activities such as:

‍

• Organizing corporate events, both virtual and in-person
• Creation of comfortable common spaces to encourage social interaction
• Promotion of team building projects and volunteer activities

‍

Occupational: Finally, occupational well-being concerns opportunities for continuing education and professional development. An employee who feels he or she is growing and progressing in his or her role is more likely to stay with the company for the long term. Some examples:

‍

• Training and professional development programs
• Offering clear career paths and opportunities for advancement
• Provision of regular and constructive feedback

‍

Remember, employee well-being is not a goal to be achieved and then forgotten. It is an ongoing effort that requires constant attention and adaptation to the changing needs of the team. By implementing these activities into your corporate wellness plan, you can create a positive and productive work environment that helps people grow.
