Ways to improve workplace wellbeing in 2017

Ways to improve workplace wellbeing in 2017

Build a community

“Given the average worker spends three times longer at the office than they do with their family, as revealed in a study by think tank, Centre for the Modern Family, it’s important for workplaces to be more than just that. The best workplaces are those that show they care for their employees through creating a culture that is enjoyable to work in.

“Taking your team out for lunch or after-work drinks can do wonders to boost team spirit, encouraging employees to talk about non-work-related issues, building a bond and helping colleagues become friends. This then helps build a community, as people will be more open and more prone to sharing problems when they feel troubled, and therefore less likely to suffer in silence. All these routes lead to happiness, improving employee morale and productivity.”
