COVER STORY
teams. But for other businesses, the social element of these interactions may be that colleague’s only other human contact on a given day. Rather than those meetings always revolving around business, it is possible to inject sociable activities into the calendar. Virtual quizzes, bingo, fizzy Fridays, there are even virtual event companies who can create bespoke, branded, corporate events for you and manage the entire virtual experience on your behalf.
Employee recognition also goes a long way to boost morale and employee engagement. Do you have an employee of the month award? Special awards for employees who go above and beyond as voted for by your customers or staff. Charitable and seasonal events for the staff to get involved in with internal committees to manage them?
Supporting health, mental health and
day to day issues The toll of this year has seen an incredible impact on mental health and fortunately there is a growing awareness around this point, but what practical measures can be put in place to help your employees?
Employee Assistance Programmes - At this time a supportive chat with your line manager might not cut it. And let’s face it, as best as we might try, our expertise probably doesn’t lie in professional counselling either. The NHS counselling services are overwhelmed and waiting lists are months long for services which are required immediately. However, for as little as £4.00 or £5.00 per employee per year, your business could provide an Employee Assistance Programme free to all staff.
All staff can benefit from support including 24/7 unlimited helpline support. Every call is answered by a fully trained mental health counsellor to ensure immediate support and guidance. And with no limits or charges, your employees can call as often as they need, gaining access to e-counselling, face-to-face counselling sessions and psychologist assessment and case management for more complex cases. This service enables employees to access the counselling they need, discretely and confidentially at a time and place that fits around work and home.
Health Cash Plans – Starting from as little as a couple of pounds a week per employee, a health cash plan is a fantastic and affordable way for your employees to claim money back towards essential health costs such as dental check-ups and treatment, contact lenses, glasses, chiropody, therapy treatments, homeopathy and much more.
Wellbeing Training – As well as all the above, we are working with our wellbeing training provider to deliver a series of live webinars for participants to gain awareness and understanding of the principles of mental wellbeing in the workplace in order to reduce stress and burnout and build a well-being workforce.
If these ideas are not an option for your business at this time, why not create your own internal focus group and collect information for your team through numerous free online and charitable resources.
