Taking care of the Human Factor
Too often we see companies trying to raise productivity, purely by optimising processes and technology. Although those are necessary, they are only as good as the people working at your company. How are they feeling? Motivated? Or disengaged? Productivity is much more than a mathematical equation, it is driven by the Human Factor.
Even more, ignoring it has a vastly negative impact. Research by Gallup shows that stagnating engagement in employees has direct consequences for organisational productivity.
Your workforce can’t be forgotten. Investing in emotional wellbeing, mental health and personal growth of employees is crucial to raise productivity.
What exactly is the Human Factor?
The Human Factor can best be described as the total sum of motivation, engagement, relations and (collective) wellbeing at the workplace. Expecting productive results only by adjusting systems leads to disappointment. You need passion. You need motivated employees. Understanding and improving the Human Factor within your organisation is key in taking steps towards success.
Investing in the Human Factor is investing in wellbeing
Many companies put effort into improving the human factor. Maybe you have too. After all, there are lots of wellbeing initiatives out there. Chances are those might not be the most effective. To really make a difference, you have to look at the whole picture.
Corporate Wellbeing does just that. By following up on the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental health of your people, you address all aspects of life. Are your employees satisfied at their job? Are they eating, sleeping and moving well? Are they able to face challenges? How is their work-life balance? Only a holistic approach offers a sustainable answer to all these questions. The improved health and happiness of your people leads straight to business success.
The results of healthy employees
Investing in corporate wellbeing leads to better productivity. You create a culture where people strive for goals instead of just going through the motions. The synergy of motivated employees, open communication, cooperation and innovation leads to the ability to easily improve and adapt. To reach higher productivity you need an engaged and healthy workplace.
Extensive research by Gallup supports this claim. It gathered data from more than 183,000 business units, across 53 industries and 90 countries. The result? A 10% rise in engagement results in 14% more productivity and 18% more sales.
Performance, productivity and wellbeing are all connected. A healthier workforce means a healthier workplace means healthier business results. Simple as that.
