When we talk about employees’ wellbeing in the workplace, we tend to automatically think about health and safety, proper training and ensuring our workers have properly ergonomic furniture and equipment. These things are all essential to ensure they are safe and sound and don’t come to physical harm. But you do also need to do your utmost to ensure your employees are having a positive time at work emotionally and mentally too!
There are all sorts of pressures that your employees can come across when they spend time at work. They are going to be spending around eight hours a day, five days a week with people they haven’t necessarily chosen to be around. There’s a lot of pressure and tensions can often rise around projects, deadlines, key performance indicators and more. Team spirit and bonding are essential for success, but sometimes, people’s personalities just do not gel and people can rub each other up the wrong way. If this is the case and you begin to notice friction between your employees or a lack of teamwork, you should take action sooner rather than later.
There are various steps that you can do to achieve this. You can schedule team building tasks or even full team building days. You can also do a little research into where and when you should intervene with employee disputes. The infographic below should help to show you the correct way to go about things! Take a look and bear its advice in mind!
