What are you doing to recognize outstanding employee performance?
Popular thinking in the last decade has been to acknowledge personal values and daily work environments as the most influential factors. However, it turns out that the extent to which employees believe senior management is sincerely interested in their employees' well being is the real Holy Grail of human resource management.
Having strong metrics that describe the goals and objectives of the work group and each employee is paramount in a forward thinking organization. Performance Management Programs are key both for managers and employees. Find out how to implement such a program.
Healthy Employees + Healthy Organization = Healthy Workplaces!
There is a strong connection between the health and well being of people and their work environments. When people feel valued, respected and satisfied in their jobs and work in safe, healthy environments, they are more likely to be more productive and committed to their work. When the workplace is unsafe, stressful or unhealthy, ultimately both the organization and the employees are hurt. Everyone can benefit from a healthy workplace.
As employers, you have a key role to play in creating a healthy workplace for you and your employees. This includes:
- Providing a safe and healthy physical work environment to prevent occupational diseases, accidents and injuries
- Embracing work organization principles that prevent ill-health and stress and provides a balance between job demands and control over the work
- Supporting healthy lifestyles and encouraging personal development
- Promoting active participation by all to help improve health and well being at work.
