Did you know that only 15% of employees are considered resilient in organisations without health and wellbeing services compared to 45% of employees in organisations with broad programmes?
Investing in an employee health and wellbeing team can have many benefits but one of the biggest benefits is boosting workplace resilience and reducing stress levels. Finding a team you can trust who offers the services you need can take time but can be a game changer for employee wellness. But how can an employee wellbeing team impact workplace resilience? And what skills are involved with workplace resilience?
Improve resilience knowledge
One of the easiest ways to improve workplace resilience is by conducting resilience training. A dedicated employee wellbeing team can provide specialised resilience training to help your team understand resilience and boost resilience skills. Many wellbeing teams will offer training either virtually or in person to suit your business and your team.
Support employees with problem-solving
Some wellbeing teams offer employee counselling and support and can help employees solve any issues they may be having. Assisting people to work through their problems can help improve problem-solving skills and make it easier to solve problems in the future, boosting workplace resilience.
Reduce stress levels and risk of burnout
Using an employee wellbeing team can also reduce stress levels at work, giving employees more headspace to build workplace resilience. Whether it’s reward days, team building activities or training, learning about health and wellbeing and prioritising conversations about wellbeing at work can reduce stress levels. With lower stress levels, employees are able to practice resilience, improve resilience skills and reduce the risk of falling into burnout.
Boost confidence
Many employee wellbeing programmes are designed to boost confidence and self-esteem amongst employees, improving resilience skills. Investing in your staff can boost their confidence and help reduce any insecurities or anxieties at work. Higher confidence levels go hand in hand with better resilience skills, both personally and at work.
Improve communication
By using an employee wellbeing team, you can start a conversation around wellbeing at work and open communication channels between teams and colleagues. Taking part in training sessions, reward days or other wellbeing activities can help boost team bonding and improve communication skills between teams. Improved communication skills mean increased workplace resilience skills.
Support goal setting and change planning
Setting goals and being comfortable with change is a clear sign that someone has strong workplace resilience skills. A good employee wellbeing team can help with goal-setting training, planning for change and managing any difficult reactions to big change. By encouraging colleagues to set goals and plan for change, you can subconsciously boost workplace resilience.
