Why Employee Relations MatterIncreased employee engagement, satisfaction, productivity, wellness, morale, and motivation, along with less absenteeism, are just a few of the many advantages of a strong company brand and culture, and an effective method for communicating it. Yet many employers do not know how to build an effective employee relations program, and shrinking HR staffs and budgets may limit resources to keep up with one. Given the ROI however, it is surprising to discover many companies, even larger ones, mishandle employee communications.
Culture – employees desire to work in thriving environments. Communication of your company values and rewards for employees who excel and align with those values, or supporting employees who may need help go a long way to promote a great workplace culture.
Communications – information needs to flow both ways. Not only do employees need to be informed of company policies, values, goals, etc, they need to be able to respond both positively and negatively to certain situations, and they need to be responded to which shows a company is committed to resolving issues they may be experiencing.
Compensation, benefits and perks – employees need to feel valued. The risk is that the substantial investment you’ve made in your employee may not produce full value for the organization, if the employees do not understand their benefits or how to use their benefits.
Partnering with Inspire Culture First is a cost effective way to take your employee relations to the next level. In fact, surveys show inadequate or miscommunication can end up costing a company more in the long run than engaging the expertise of an HR professional.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We invite you to close this window and browse our entire website to learn how each service we offer is geared towards creating a workplace culture that values and inspires your people, which bottom line, matters to your bottom line.
Why Employee Wellness MatterBottom line, employee wellness affects your bottom line. When an employee is stressed, or not healthy, it affects performance and productivity. Recent surveys confirm that employee stress has risen more than 20% over the past few decades for a variety of reasons that range from financial worries to conflicts with the boss or coworkers. If an employer wants to reduce healthcare expenses, and prevent productivity loss, which are eating at an employer’s bottom line more than any other time in history, there are several related factors that fall under the concept of “employee well-being” that greatly influence their efforts.
Inspire Culture First offers practical, innovative solutions that help employers support well-being by creating a workplace culture that inspires employees to be their best. Here’s a few examples:
Employee Assistant Programs or EAPs – take employee wellness to a higher level. EAP programs help employees deal with substance abuse, occupational stress, limited financial resources, major life events, legal concerns and many other personal issues. An effective EAP will show your strong commitment to your employee’s overall wellness and help them stay productive through life’s inevitable, and sometimes tough, times.
Health Benefits – utilize data and technology to keep employees healthy. Health benefits that are tailored to fit your employees needs, and personalized with smart technology providing mobile access and decision-making tools gives your employees access to the right care, at the right time – when they need it most.
Voluntary Benefits, sometimes referred to Ancillary or Worksite Benefits – alleviate financial worries. Voluntary benefits offer employees supplemental insurance that goes beyond traditional coverage. They can be implemented at little or no cost to the employer and go a long way to connect all of the components of employee wellness with valued products and services that actually help employees enjoy life, while being better prepared for the unknown, and without stretching the budget.
Wellness Plans – Incorporating wellness into the health benefit package can pay large dividends. So much so that many carriers have invested heavily into research that shows which wellness strategies keep its members the most healthy and out of the doctor’s office. As a result, many carriers include basic wellness benefits in the core health coverage. In addition to preventative health screenings and telemedicine, these include onsite or virtual fitness programs, nutrition classes, gym memberships, counseling, substance abuse help and more. For employers wanting to go beyond the basic wellness coverage, Inspire Culture First can evaluate your needs and recommend wellness plan vendors that offer the most ROI.
Effective Employee Relations – get the most from your benefit programs. If your employees don’t understand their benefits, they don’t appreciate their value. Often, valuable benefits go unused because of lack of information, or employees are overwhelmed with too much information. Inspire Culture First can help you promote engagement and ensure success of your benefit programs. And, we handle everything, leaving you more time to focus on running your business.
