Promoting Worker Well Being

Want to know how your employees are feeling? Just look at them.

Oh wait, you can’t look at them because you’re all working remotely?

This has been the conundrum of a lot of leaders in the last year or two. And they — and perhaps you — have come up with plenty of new techniques for gauging both worker wellbeing and productivity. Things like:

✔️  Creating new communication practices and rituals on Zoom, Slack, and other virtual forums

✔️  Learning to quantify work in terms of output rather than hours logged

✔️  Most importantly, encouraging and supporting wellbeing practices — even if that means letting up the pressure about productivity at times

It’s all about normalizing — whatever “normal” means for your organization today. All of the companies I recruit for are going through it.
