If you’re leading an organization that employs human beings, their wellbeing must be a primary consideration of your company.

This is because the people who work for your company are people – and that’s really enough of a reason on its own.

And everyone wants to feel like they’re important to the people they’re around each day, beyond their functional role at work.

But from a business perspective, people are your company’s strongest asset. They help to make or break your organization’s success.

There is a direct link between improving employee wellness and achieving several critical benefits for your overall business. Therefore, a major priority of your human resources (HR) function is to:

  • Learn how to enhance employee wellness
  • Commit to employee wellbeing for the long term, as part of your workplace culture

Whether your HR team accomplishes this speaks to how well your company does HR.

In this blog, we’ll discuss:

  • What wellness means
  • How wellness (or lack thereof) impacts the people on your team
  • Why your company should care about employee wellness
  • Meaningful steps your company can take to promote wellbeing and solidify this within your culture

5 types of wellness to consider

There are five types of wellness that your workplace should address:

  • Physical health
  • Social health
  • Professional health
  • Emotional/mental health
  • Financial health

An organization that is committed to wellness:

  • Views people as people, rather than headcount.
  • Makes health and wellness main pillars of the culture.
  • Adopts a holistic approach to wellbeing, addressing each of the five aspects of wellness to offer support for the whole person.
  • Understands that each aspect of wellness can impact others.
  • Incorporates wellness into its people strategy and ties wellness to organizational goals.
  • Has leadership that fully supports and is engaged in these initiatives.
