Ingredients for a successful well-being initiative

One of the main challenges when improving and maintaining employee well-being as a human resources professional is working with inconvenient tools and systems.

With a workforce spread across geographically disparate locations and multiple shifts and an environment that makes sharing and collaboration between employees difficult, this challenge can be amplified.

Amazon, Spotify, Netflix, Uber, Deliveroo – all darling brands of the tech sector, are focused on connecting consumers with suppliers, wherever and whenever. As we seek out convenience, this same phenomenon is changing the way we work, driven further by information intensity and the desire to share and collaborate.

Many of these tech-driven services learn from our interactions and deliver a more relevant and appropriate experience as a result, and this is something we're coming to expect. According to Accenture, 75 percent of business buyers expect companies to be able to anticipate their needs and make relevant suggestions by 2020.
