Managing for Health in Global HR

Studies show when managers were trained to be supportive and understanding of employees' personal responsibilities. It not only reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease but improved the employees sleep quality. It also had a positive effect on organisations too, with higher job satisfaction levels and stronger work performance. 

Employees have responsibilities outside their work environment. Supporting them in their personal lives can really go a long way. It is another simple change global HR teams can make by encouraging their managers to support employees’ personal needs. 

As an employer, you have a responsibility to promote wellness in the workplace. Covering both mental and physical health.  In 2023 Employee well-being is central to establishing effective engagement in your organisation. In a post-pandemic world over 60% of the global workforce is reporting at least one mental health challenge. The demand is there for organisations to set up their employee well-being initiatives 

Consider taking action to provide mental health training sessions and implementing team-building activities to help your teams connect. Offering flexible working hours is another way to give your team enough time to disconnect from work and have a good work-life balance.  

Another effective way to boost employee retention is by offering health benefits.  Popular options for global organisations include group health insurance, and health reimbursement options. 

By promoting the health and well-being of their employees, organisations can improve their performance and achieve greater success.
