Rich Goddard’s Post

How do we create a high performance culture? It's a question that many leaders ask. And there are many answers: holism, leadership behaviour, communication training, measurement, purpose, office layout, education, fun challenges, job design, policies and benefits are many of the things leading companies talk about from the Wellbeing at Work Summit stages around the world. From Sydney to London and many places in between, we have heard and witnessed the evolution of 'Wellbeing' from the fringes to centre stage. The trouble is that 'Wellbeing' still feels a bit intangible to many leaders who are making decisions on the allocation of company resources. That's why Team Wellbeing at Work, specifically Rich Goddard, Chris Cummings and myself have pulled together some of the common themes into a simple framework that you can see below and dive deeper into via our Ebook. https://lnkd.in/gndnH9rk I know that there are many frameworks out there already, and our goal is not to just add to the noise, but quite the opposite. Our intention is to make the complex simple, and to give 'Wellbeing' structure and voice in a workplace that may already being do many things right, but needs an overarching strategy and a philosophy to connect the conceptual to the practical to deliver results. I hope it's helpful for you, let me know what you think. Feedback is always a gift. Here's that ebook link again: https://lnkd.in/gndnH9rk

Do incentives work? Here's your chance to ask top wellbeing experts at our next "Learn from the Leaders" webinar on May 28 at 12 pm ET / 9am PT. In our previous "Learn from the Leaders" sessions, we asked participants "Where are you in your employee wellbeing journey?" Fully 89% of you are "recalculating your route to wellbeing." Then we asked, "What are your barriers to change in wellbeing design?" More than half see "Competing priorities" as their biggest barrier, followed by budget, leadership alignment, and lack of a clear roadmap to get there. Our next webinar will focus on these challenges. Join wellbeing innovation leaders from Willis Towers Watson: John Bremen, Amy DeVylder Levanat and Regina Ihrke, in discussion with our own Eric Zimmerman. Discover: 1. What is driving wellbeing budgets now? 2. Where employer needs and employee wants intersect. 3. How wellbeing, culture and performance come together. 4. 3 Ways to inspire "change that sticks" vs. just paying for clicks.

Of course you care! Right? Well, the first step of caring is to understand what you need to care about….. Asking the question “What do you need?” All leaders has a very limited time to take care of all responsibilities. They want to care. They want to ask their employees what they need and how they feel about work but instead they run around with a bad conscience because they don’t have the time. I have the solution! It’s actually saves time and makes it so much easier to work with motivational leadership on an everyday basis. Would you like to have a free introduction and trial? Let me know!

Leadership is the most crucial factor in driving improvements in employee wellbeing. Leaders formulate the business strategy and ultimately decide where it sits on the agenda. However, 70% of CIPD respondents said that while leaders had employee wellbeing on their agenda, only 42% think they encourage a focus on this through their actions and behaviour. Therefore, it is important for leaders to address this and model healthier behaviours. Research has shown that adopting health-oriented leadership (Franke et al. 2014) can have a positive impact on employee health, wellbeing, job satisfaction, performance and engagement. This approach highlights the leader's active role in promoting employee health and wellbeing by looking after themselves (Self Care) and their employees (Staff Care). These two components—self-care and staff care—are built on three key dimensions: value, awareness, and behaviour. To lead in a health-oriented manner, leaders must be classify health as important (value), be aware of their own health status (awareness), and actively care for their own health (behaviour). Strong self-care practices in leaders and actions to take care of their staff, enable them to serve as role models, encouraging employees to practice their own self-care. To learn how to implement health oriented leadership, contact me for information on talks, workshops and training available on this topic. #workplacewellbeing #healthorientedleadership #leadership #selfcare #employeeengagement #culture #jobsatisfaction #employeewellbeing
