How to Get More of That “Wellbeing” in Employee Wellbeing? 😊💡Blog

Hi there Community, 👋we welcome the new week and the beginning of March with one of the most important topics, and that is employee wellbeing. We all know that when you feel "well", depending on the definition, you simply feel healthier, you feel more productive, you have more energy and much more. It is therefore all the more important for companies and HR to promote precisely this. The scope for this varies from company to company.Sounds great right, but how do you get more of that “wellbeing”?Now, before we dive into the discussion, let's first define the multi-layered term "wellbeing" in more detail. One approach to understanding the aspects of wellbeing is to divide wellbeing into different 'pillars'. This can include mental, physical, financial and social wellbeing. Let's take a closer look at each of these areas, how they impact the work environment and create a foundation for employee wellbeing. 🧠 Mental WellbeingNurturing or promoting mental wellbeing in the workplace is ess

🌟 Mental Health Awareness Day: Supporting HR Professionals 🌟Blog

Hi Community and Happy Monday! ✨ 🩵 As we stand on the brink of World Mental Health Day tomorrow 10th of October, I'm compelled to address an issue that remains one of the most critical challenges faced by HR professionals.HR professionals are the unsung heroes of any organization. They hold the delicate responsibility of safeguarding employee well-being, nurturing performance, and fostering development. Yet, beneath this noble task lies a world of challenges and stressors, from the daily concerns of employee well-being to the arduous task of navigating difficult conversations.It has been a truly eye-opening experience for me to engage with HR experts through our Personio events. They've shared their tales of navigating through uncomfortable situations, from the heart-wrenching task of announcing layoffs to managing the most extreme cases of burnout. 🫶🏻Mental health is a common struggle that we all have (and will) faced. From the common strains of stress and anxiety to the more form

Let's explore together how love in all its forms enriches, inspires and connects our lives. 💡 Did you know? In some countries, such as Finland, February 14 is also celebrated as 'Friend's Day', where friendships are celebrated in the same way as romantic relationships. This tradition, known as "Ystävänpäivä", provides a beautiful opportunity to honour the importance of friendship and interpersonal relationships, making Valentine's Day a day of love in all its forms.This is exactly the interpretation we want to continue in our community and emphasise the different facets of love. For this, we are starting the discussion topic "What do you love about your job?" today.

🍋 Feeling the Squeeze: HR Leaders Under PressureCommunity Discussion

Hi Community, 🫶🏻 How are you preventing burnouts and keep a positive attitude in your professional life?🫶🏻 💬 Let’s discuss about pressure and demand in your day to day work life. A recent study by Barnett Waddingham reveals a startling reality: 28% of HR professionals feel overwhelmed by the multitude of demands on their time. With 22% reporting high stress levels and 17% struggling to keep pace with rapid changes in the workplace, it's clear that HR's role has become more challenging post-pandemic. Pete Cooper of Personio highlights an important issue: despite HR's critical contributions during the pandemic, many teams are not receiving the recognition they deserve. Overburdened with current tasks, they find little time to prepare for future challenges, leading to a feeling of always playing catch-up. Julia Turney from Barnett Waddingham points out the importance of employee voices but emphasizes the need for C-suite support to meet these demands. She advocates for a data-drive

💥 HR discussion: What factors do you think influence the success of remote work?North America

Good morning Community,Today is the official start of our End-of-Year campaign! The first stop on our voyage around the world is North America. 🚀In the past few years, the North American labor market has changed significantly. Digitalisation and technological advances have transformed not only how we work, but also where we work.In terms of "where", a particular trend has emerged in North America. The concept of remote work has become a widespread practice in the modern workplace, and more and more companies are implementing it effectively. Even after the peak during the pandemic, many companies have continued with this concept and recognised its benefits, to the point that it is now a must-have for some organisations and employees. 💡 Last year, a 25% increase in remote work was forecasted in North America. It was also predicted that this trend will continue beyond 2023. (Source)🤝 From a global perspective, North America and Europe are similar in terms of remote work. The proportion
