Sincere Interest in Employee Well-Being
Background Information
Results for this statement reflect how strongly employees feel their direct manager values their wellbeing. This can be apparent when managers are making decisions and administering their department.
This can range from how dedicated managers are to formal company well-being programs to merely how well they listen and exhibit empathy for employees.
Why is this Important?
Well-being and performance go hand in hand. When employees do not feel they are valued beyond their work contributions; morale suffers, trust declines and employee engagement decreases.
Employees who feel their managers are looking out for their best interests are much more willing to accommodate requests and successfully navigate difficult periods of change and transition.
Managers play a pivotal role in the well-being of their employees (both in their personal & in their professional lives). Organizations must set up managers with the right tools to set them up for success.
Recommended Action Items
Consider implementing the following action items as part of your personalized strategy to improve the level of employee engagement within your team.
Manage Workloads
Successful and engaged staff need to be challenged. If they are consistently overworked, they risk feeling burnt-out. Employees’ goals and responsibilities should be consistently reviewed to provide attainable targets and feedback. Otherwise, they may feel they are being set up to fail.

Make Feedback Personal
When sitting down with employees to review goals and provide feedback, managers should explicitly include questions about personal well-being. Employees feel more valued by managers who try to understand their personal challenges and circumstances.

Open Communication
In addition to discussing business development, management should support an environment where employees feel comfortable sharing their feedback. Managers will understand any issues that are going on with their team (both personal and professionally).

Promoting Wellness
Managers should lead by example by taking their well-being seriously. Through actively participating in company wellness programs and balancing work with breaks, it is important that employees understand the importance of work life balance. Additionally, they should consistently act fairly and respectfully towards all team members. This helps staff feel valued and confident that any personal issues will be equally treated with care.
