Empowering HR Leaders to be Change Makers

The outbreak of COVID-19 has been by far the most difficult challenge that employees and employers have faced, resulting in unprecedented changes in work practices and culture. The new normal of work has rendered traditional 9-5 office shifts obsolete, ushering in an era of flexibility, convenience, and hybrid working. This makes it critical for HR leaders to build an environment wherein employees WANT TO work in rather than HAVE TO work in.

As HR leaders gear to solve challenges that are unheard of, they must focus on the following imperatives:

'WELLNESS OF BUSINESS' TO 'WELLNESS BEFORE BUSINESS'

To further the vision of a nurturing workplace, we must drive the shift from 'wellness of business' to 'wellness before business'. Globally, an estimated 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety. It is more important now than ever to provide an experience to employees that is meaningful, flexible, empowering, collaborative, and inspiring. While every organization strives to understand what motivates and sustains its employees, it is also becoming increasingly important for organizations to identify the factors that contribute to increased employee engagement. The happy worker-productive worker thesis suggests that workers who experience high levels of well-being and satisfaction perform well.
