Some employers put an abundance of resources and energy into traditional wellness programs expecting to see positive results. Yet the programs show little to no impact on their KPIs (key performance indicators), assuming they have them in place.
These expectation gaps occur because of the common belief that by simply offering programs, we generate results. However, the missing elements in this scenario are generally a lack of organizational and leadership support, and shaping a quality employee experience (QEX). The QEX begins with understanding your workforce and meeting their needs through policies, benefits AND a strategic wellbeing framework that will produce the desired results.
A virtual panel of workforce wellbeing experts led a detailed discussion on how to create a foundation of wellbeing that goes beyond wellness programming to shape a richer, higher quality employee experience and engagement.
- Identify the priority elements for enhanced QEX (Quality Employee Experience) that deal with today’s key issues: burnout, resilience, and change fatigue.
- Develop a road map for increasing leadership support and organization-wide integration of wellness beyond siloed programs.
- Hear about some of the challenges faced by organizations and what hasn’t worked so well (not about just what did work!).
