Why ARE COMPANIES investing more TODAY INCORPORATING employee Self Care Programs?
Here are three reasons:
- Management tends to focus most on the here and now. In this environment, managers natural focus on essential day-to-day operations and less interested in longer-term activities that can have more bang for the buck.
- Upper management incorporates bureaucratic exercises on paper but seldom acted upon concepts for problem-solving. Thus, front line managers spend more time trying to fit employees into their matrix and not resolving the problem(s). Today’s workforce since returning back from COVID, front line managers are experiencing managing burnout, stress and mental health challenges.
- The bottom line, there’s just no time for it. This is, an opinion, the “lamest” excuse of all. There’s always time for important activities. If you believe that development planning is a valuable managerial function, just make it a priority and carve out the funding, minutes and hours for it.
Why development planning makes good business sense:
- People care if you take a genuine interest in their future.The emphasis here on “genuine.” Employee Development planning should be something a manager takes a real personal interest in – not an HR-driven mandate.
- It helps builds loyalty, and loyalty increases productivity. Taking an honest human interest in someone health and well-being builds loyalty. Loyal employees are more engaged. Engaged employees are more productive.
- Good talented people naturally want to advance, and appreciate meaningful support in the process. Capable ambitious young employees want training, mentoring and coaching. They want to feel valuable to an organization and that their health and well-being is important to. If a company doesn’t provide it, enterprising employees will go elsewhere for it.
Challenge:
In today’s interconnected society, and employees are feeling overwhelmed, pressured to perform, short-staffed on projects and suffering epidemic levels of chronic stress and mental emotional challenges. Repeated studies show that prolong stress levels will lead to chronic health issues, heart disease and possible suicide, and alcoholism and drug abuse. This is a costly side effect.
