Wellbeing Wednesday — Revisit Your Flexible Work Policy
Flexible work hours have significant health and wellbeing results.
This is because they contribute to a healthy work-life balance, which makes employees happier, less stressed, and less susceptible to burnout. They're also easier to implement than ever, due to the rise of remote working.
Like all corporate initiatives, a periodic review and re-education keeps them fresh and relevant. Some examples of flexible work hour policies include:
Condensed work weeks
Working from home (on select days or full time)
Fully customised work hours
Partially customised work hours
Flexible holiday and/or personal days
Taking care of your employees' wellbeing is incredibly important and every organisation should make wellbeing a core element of their HR strategy. Helping your teams to take care of their mental health is a great step towards enhancing their overall wellbeing, and reducing absenteeism at the same time.
When people are happy and healthy at work they're more productive and take fewer sick days. Furthermore, with an increasing number of people taking time off to recover from stress, anxiety, and depression, prioritising your teams' health and happiness has never been more important.
