We will all have heard the latest set of Covid announcements yesterday.
Whereas a few weeks ago we were told, ‘Go back to the office,’ it is now best practice to ‘work from home.’
Whilst these announcements weren’t unexpected they do bring with them a new sense of change, a sense of dread for some people and even some fear. We are told the next six months will be hard.
What does this mean for you and your staff teams? How do you keep connected and keep that sense of team working when work environments look different. Some teams will all be in. Some will all be based from home. Some will be a mix of both.
We’re six months in to this Covid journey and people are getting weary. Our wellbeing has been and will continue to be affected by this. We’ve talked on this website about building resilience and coping with the stress of home or office working. But with these new changes how do we as organisations care for our teams in the midst of that?
We have been working with a number of organisations to deliver our Wellbeing Audit. In this time of uncertainty, the audit provides an opportunity for your organisation to take the pulse of people’s wellbeing. It enables us to find out what is happening right now across your team and to support and plan for how we support our teams over the next six months in what is likely to be an unpredictable landscape.
The Wellbeing Audit is an anonymous online survey-based diagnostic tool for organisational wellbeing. We use a questionnaire which is sent to each employee and takes between 5 and 10 minutes to complete. We then provide a written report of findings within 7 days of the completion of the survey.
The audit includes questions which cover three areas:
Personal wellbeing through the nationally recognised Warwick Wellbeing Scale.
Psychological safety and workplace culture questions.
A creative exercise using images to allow people to speak imaginatively about their wellbeing.
The Wellbeing Audit, as part of a package of wellbeing support for your business, can be booked today for £250.
The audit is a wonderful way to take the pulse of wellbeing where you work. Once it’s completed and our report is issued, it may open the door for a more targeted and informed wellbeing support for staff at this tricky time.
Making space for 1:1 support for staff.
Creating the climate for focused training around issues.
Informing a discussion on workplace wellbeing.
We can tell you more about the audit and these services today. Book an audit for your organisation or contact us below to find out more.
