    【HR术语】什么是员工健康(What is employee wellbeing?) 什么是员工健康? 员工幸福感是指专业人员在心理、情感和身体健康方面的综合状态。根据盖洛普研究人员的研究,员工幸福感包括五个核心组成部分: 职业幸福感。人们对工作职责的满意度,以及他们每天在工作中花费时间的方式。 社会福祉。与朋友和家人建立健康、有意义的关系。 财务健康。能够成功管理个人财务。 身体健康。有健康的体魄和充沛的精力来维持基本功能和完成任务。 社区幸福。与他人建立联系,对所居住的地方有归属感。 人力资源领导为什么要关注员工福利? 作为公司最宝贵的资产--员工的监护人,人力资源部门应优先考虑员工的福祉。 幸福超越了健康。它表明员工在个人生活和工作中全面发展、发挥最佳功能并实现自身潜能。 员工健康和幸福有哪些优势? 身心健康可以增强心理耐力、情商和应变能力--这是提高生产力、创造力和效率所必需的三项软技能。 因此,员工身心健康是高绩效工作、蓬勃发展的员工队伍和成功企业的基石。 员工身心健康在很大程度上有助于: 实现目标 承担风险 为出现的挑战找到实用、明智的解决方案 减少缺勤 提高员工留任率和参与度 减少医疗开支 蓬勃发展的企业文化 人力资源领导者如何促进员工福利? 如果您想把员工的健康放在首位,就应将其作为公司文化的一部分。虽然每个人都必须关注自己的健康,但人力资源部门可以通过强调健康是一种工作价值来鼓励员工的健康。以下是将健康融入公司工作方式的三种方法: 平衡工作与娱乐。虽然保持工作流程是提高生产力的必要条件,但人不是机器人。要有精力工作,就必须有时间娱乐。组织员工徒步旅行或公园野餐等促进情绪、社区建设和社交聚会,让员工有机会充电和重新建立联系。 培养感恩之心。人力资源领导者可以通过表彰和感谢员工的辛勤工作和取得的成就来鼓励员工之间的友情和有意义的工作经历。表达谢意可为工作社区注入良好的氛围和意义。 鼓励正念。正念为明智的决策、高质量的工作、更好的沟通和发散思维奠定了基础。养成正念的习惯有助于人们调节情绪和思想。团队可以在开会前通过集体呼吸练习或冥想来练习正念。为了在个人层面上支持正念,公司可以指定一个房间或花园作为无技术区,让人们有安静、不受干扰的独处时间。 制定有效的员工福利计划和措施有哪些技巧? 虽然整合一个通用的健康计划可能很诱人,但还是要尽量考虑贵公司的具体需求。您可以通过以下方式做到这一点: 确定问题所在。这些问题可能包括职业倦怠、缺乏目标和动力以及工作与生活失衡。 评估影响福利的主要障碍。也许是管理不善、工作量过重,或者是工作场所的价值观不一致,阻碍了员工实现身心健康。 评估员工幸福感低的代价。缺乏幸福感会如何影响生产力和底线? 规划福利计划。贵公司目前正在采取哪些行动来促进员工身心健康,这些措施与内部和外部基准相比有何不同? 实施量身定制的健康计划。健康计划应为员工提供切实可行、量身定制的解决方案,应对他们面临的挑战和不同的人生阶段。例如,该计划可包括员工援助计划(EAP)、辅导和导师机会或个人财务咨询机会。 如何有效衡量员工福利? 幸福是综合的,因此您需要收集幸福拼图的所有部分,才能看到完整的画面。让我们来看看一些评估和衡量幸福感的方法: 通过脉搏调查收集反馈。通过提出正确的问题,人力资源部门可以了解团队成员的健康状况。与某一具体问题相关的问题,如果能让员工对自己的感受进行评分,就能提供有用的答案。开放式问题也能提供见解,但要确保有时间和资源来阅读和处理每个答案。调查可以包括涉及薪酬、参与度、归属感、工作量和职业目标等主题的问题。 跟踪员工数据。虽然数据不能反映一个人的内心挣扎,但它可以说明面临的挑战,如高缺勤率或低生产率--潜在潜在问题的迹象。 简短的检查。人力资源部门或经理可以定期与专业人士会面。无论是当面交谈还是通过视频聊天,都能提供调查和数据无法显示的反馈信息。 员工福利如何改善公司文化? 欣欣向荣的员工构成了欣欣向荣的企业文化。当整体的每个部分--每个人--都处于健康状态时,他们就能高效地工作,与团队成员有效合作,并为积极而充满活力的企业文化做出贡献。 以下为文章原文: What is employee wellbeing? Employee wellbeing refers to a professional’s holistic state of mental, emotional, and physical health. According to Gallup researchers, employee wellbeing includes five core components: Career wellbeing. The satisfaction people feel with work responsibilities and how they spend their time at work every day. Social wellbeing. Engaging in healthy, meaningful relationships with friends and family. Financial wellbeing. Being able to manage personal finances successfully. Physical wellbeing. Having health and energy for basic functioning and accomplishing tasks. Community wellbeing. Having a connection with others and feeling a sense of belonging in the place you live. Why should HR leaders care about employee wellbeing? As guardians of a company’s most valuable asset—its people—employee wellbeing should be a priority for HR. Wellbeing goes beyond health. It indicates that people are thriving holistically, functioning optimally, and actualizing their potential in their personal lives and at work. What are the advantages of employee health and wellbeing? Wellbeing can support mental stamina, emotional intelligence, and resilience—three soft skills necessary for productivity, creativity, and efficiency. Thus, employee wellbeing is the bedrock of high-performance work, a thriving workforce, and a successful business. Employee wellbeing largely contributes to: Goal achievement Risk taking Finding practical, intelligent solutions to challenges that arise Decreased absenteeism Increased retention and engagement Reduced healthcare expenses A thriving company culture What can HR leaders do to promote employee wellbeing? If you want to make your people’s wellbeing a priority, make it part of your company culture. While everyone must take care of their health, HR can encourage wellbeing by emphasizing it as a work value. Here are three ways to infuse wellbeing into your company’s approach to work: Balance work with play. While maintaining workflow is necessary for productivity, people aren’t robots. To have energy for work, there must be time for play. Organizing mood-boosting, community-building, and social gatherings, such as staff hikes or park picnics, gives people a chance to recharge and reconnect. Cultivate gratitude. HR leaders can encourage camaraderie and meaningful work experiences by recognizing and thanking people for their hard work and accomplishments. Communicating appreciation infuses good vibes and meaning into the work community. Encourage mindfulness. Mindfulness sets the foundation for smart decision-making, high-quality work, better communication, and thinking outside the box. Making mindfulness a habit helps people regulate their emotions and thoughts. Teams can practice mindfulness through group breathing exercises or meditations before conducting a meeting. To support mindfulness on an individual level, companies can designate a room or garden as a tech-free zone for people to have quiet, uninterrupted alone time. What are some tips for building effective employee wellbeing programs and initiatives? While it may be tempting to integrate a generic wellness program, try to consider your company’s specific needs. You can do so by: Identifying the problem areas. These may include burnout, lack of purpose and drive, and work-life imbalance. Evaluating the major barriers to wellbeing. Perhaps there is poor management, too heavy a workload, or a misalignment of workplace values preventing people from achieving a state of wellbeing. Assessing the cost of low employee wellbeing. How does a lack of wellbeing affect productivity and the bottom line? Planning a wellbeing program. What actions is your company currently taking to promote wellbeing, and how do these initiatives compare with internal and external benchmarks? Implementing a customized wellness program. The wellness program should provide practical, tailored solutions for staff, addressing their challenges and different life stages. The program could include, for example, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), coaching and mentorship opportunities, or personal financial advising opportunities. How can you effectively measure employee wellbeing? Wellbeing is integrative, so you’ll need to gather all pieces of the wellbeing puzzle to see the complete picture. Let’s look at some ways to assess and measure wellbeing: Gather feedback through pulse surveys. By asking the right questions, HR can narrow in on team members’ state of wellbeing. Questions that relate to one specific issue and give people the option to rate how they’re feeling on a scale can provide helpful answers. Open-ended questions can also offer insightl, but make sure you have the time and resources to read and address each answer. Surveys can include questions that touch on topics such as compensation, engagement, belonging, workload, and career goals. Keep track of workforce data. While data doesn’t reflect a person’s internal struggles, it can illustrate challenges such as a high rate of absenteeism or low productivity— signs of a potential underlying issue. Brief check-ins. HR or managers can routinely meet with professionals. Getting together to talk, whether in person or through video chats, can provide feedback that may not have been apparent through surveys and data. How can employee wellbeing improve company culture? Thriving people make up a thriving company culture. When each part of the whole—each person—is in a state of wellbeing, they can work productively, collaborate effectively with team members, and contribute to a positive and vibrant culture.

    【HR术语】什么是内部流动?(What is internal mobility?) 什么是内部流动? 内部流动是指员工在公司内部向新角色或职位的流动。这包括晋升(纵向流动)、调动和角色变化(横向流动)。 目前,许多企业都在使用内部流动战略来应对日益增长的人员流动率。良好的内部流动可以培养员工的技能,提高他们的工作满意度,甚至可以为企业节省时间和金钱。 为什么内部流动很重要? 在当前人员流动率居高不下的趋势下,内部流动可以成为提高员工留任率的有力工具。 通过为员工提供获得新经验的成长机会,可以提高整体工作满意度,从而降低员工离职另谋高就的可能性。 除了提高工作满意度,内部流动还能最大限度地发挥员工的才能。让员工体验不同的角色或部门,有助于他们发展新技能,使公司更加自给自足。 通过促进内部流动,你将拥有一支才华横溢、技能高超的团队,可以填补可能出现的大部分技能缺口--这样你就不必经常到公司外部寻找人才,从而节省了时间和金钱。 内部流动的例子 角色到角色的流动--员工在公司内部调动到相同资历的新角色。 调动--员工在不同地点继续担任组织内的相同职务。 晋升--团队成员晋升到公司更高级别的职位。 基于项目的流动--由具有不同专长的员工组成的团队为某一特定项目工作。 岗位轮换--员工在不同岗位或部门之间临时流动,以获得新的经验和学习新的技能。 发展计划--组织提供培训或发展计划,帮助员工掌握新技能,为在公司内担任不同角色做好准备。 内部流动的好处 降低成本--招聘新人的成本可能很高。企业可以通过聘用已经了解企业文化和流程的内部候选人来填补空缺职位,从而降低成本。 提高员工留任率--当员工感到自己有机会成长和晋升时,他们就更有可能长期留在公司。 提高参与度--有了在公司内学习、成长和接受新挑战的机会,员工会感到更有参与感和动力。 提高生产力--内部流动让员工接触到新的人员、流程和思维方式。这为团队成员提供了宝贵的知识,他们可以将这些知识运用到工作中。 如何促进内部流动? 您可以从建立内部流动计划开始。与每个部门的员工分享新的晋升或岗位轮换机会,明确表示欢迎每个人申请。 您还可以提供培训、在线课程和会议,帮助员工获得新技能和新知识。 通过招聘启事、内部通讯和定期的一对一交流,确保所有团队都了解这些机会,并激励员工去争取。给予他们追求发展目标所需的时间和支持。 另一种促进内部流动的方法是鼓励不同部门和团队之间的合作。这可以让员工接触到他们可能不熟悉的公司领域,并帮助他们与那些能为他们提供职业发展指导的人建立关系。 员工希望学习和成长。如果公司支持员工的发展和学习机会,那么最终也会帮助内部流动成为公司文化的一部分。 内部流动最佳实践 对于内部流动而言,重要的是为公司的每个职位制定清晰的职业发展路径。同时,要向所有员工开放机会,让他们可以尝试转换角色和传授技能。 说到这些机会,可以尝试组建一个招聘团队,寻找内部人才并从内部提拔。 为使这一做法行之有效,应在组织内部开展定期岗位轮换,以便对员工进行交叉培训,让他们在不同的岗位上积累经验,从而使他们具备所需的可转换技能,以便在他们愿意的情况下抓住这些机会。 内部流动是一项长期投资。但从长远来看,促进内部流动的企业会从中获益,创造一个高效的工作场所,让员工更加快乐。 以下为文章原文: What is internal mobility? Internal mobility is the movement of employees within a company to new roles or positions. This can include promotions (vertical mobility), as well as transfers and role changes (lateral mobility). Many businesses are now using an internal mobility strategy to address the increasing rates of turnover. Good internal mobility develops employees’ skills, increases their job satisfaction, and can even save an organization time and money. Why is internal mobility important? With the current trend of high turnover, internal mobility can be a powerful tool for boosting the retention rate for employees. By giving employees opportunities to grow with new experiences, it can increase overall job satisfaction—reducing the likelihood of them leaving for a new job elsewhere. Besides increasing job satisfaction, internal mobility makes the most of what employees have to offer. Giving employees experience in different roles or departments helps them develop new skills that can make your company more self-sufficient. By promoting internal mobility, you’ll have a talented, highly skilled team that can fill in most of the skills gaps that may appear—so you won’t have to regularly look outside the company for talent acquisition, saving you time and money. Examples of internal mobility Role-to-role mobility – When an employee moves to a new role at the same level of seniority within the company. Transfer – When an employee continues their same role for the organization, but at a different location. Promotion – When a team member is promoted to a higher-level position in the company. Project-based mobility – When a team of employees, with different kinds of expertise, is put together for a specific project. Job rotations – When an employee moves temporarily between different roles or departments to gain new experiences and learn new skills. Development programs – When an organization provides training or development programs to help employees acquire new skills and prepare them for different roles within the company. Benefits of internal mobility Reduced costs – Hiring new people can be expensive. Businesses can reduce costs by filling open positions with internal candidates who already understand the organization’s culture and processes. Improved employee retention rates – When employees feel that they have opportunities to grow and advance, they’re more likely to stay with the company long-term. Increased engagement – With opportunities to learn, grow and take on new challenges within a company, employees feel more engaged and motivated. Improved productivity – Internal mobility exposes employees to new people, processes, and ways of thinking.This gives team members valuable knowledge that they can apply to their work. How do you promote internal mobility? You can start by establishing an internal mobility program. Share new opportunities for promotions or job rotations with employees from every department, making it clear that everyone is welcome to apply. You can also offer training, online courses, and conferences to help employees gain new skills and knowledge. Make sure that all teams are aware of these opportunities through job postings, internal newsletters, and regular one-on-one check-ins—and inspire your people to go for them. Give them the time and support they need to pursue their development goals. Another way of promoting internal mobility is by encouraging collaboration between different departments and teams. This exposes employees to areas of the company they may be unfamiliar with, and helps them build relationships with people who can give them guidance on advancing their careers. Employees want to learn and grow. If a company supports employee development and learning opportunities, then it will also end up helping internal mobility to become an established part of company culture. Internal mobility best practices For internal mobility, it’s important to develop a clear career path for each role in your company. At the same time, keep opportunities open to all employees, so that they can try switching roles and transfer their skills. When it comes to these opportunities, try putting together a recruitment team to find internal talent and promote from within. For that to be effective, start regular job rotations within the organization so that you cross-train employees—giving them experience in different roles so that they have the transferable skills needed to take those opportunities, should they wish to. Internal mobility is a long-term investment. But the businesses that promote it in the long-run reap the benefits, creating a productive workplace with happier employees.

    【HR术语】什么是员工忠诚度?(What is employee loyalty?) 什么是员工忠诚度? 员工忠诚度是指员工选择长期为公司工作,因为他们喜欢这样做。他们对工作环境感到满意,积极进取,为实现公司目标而努力工作,并相信企业的使命。如果忠诚的员工发现了其他地方的机会,他们就不太可能跳槽。 如果能提高员工忠诚度,不仅能提高员工保留率,还能对企业整体产生积极影响。 为什么员工忠诚度对企业很重要? 员工忠诚度对企业非常重要,因为它对有效的人力资本管理以及企业的整体成功有着巨大的影响。它能为企业带来诸多好处,包括: 提高利润 降低员工流失率 提高生产力和员工参与度 对客户产生积极影响 提升品牌形象 健康的企业文化--因为忠诚的团队成员会以积极的态度感染他人 如何衡量员工忠诚度? 衡量员工忠诚度的方法有: 开展调查。定期开展员工敬业度调查和员工满意度调查,有助于了解员工的工作积极性,以及他们对为公司工作的感受。 计算员工净促进者得分(eNPS)。这是一种评估员工忠诚度的方法,也是一种确定改进方法的方法。 召开一对一会议。鼓励营造一种坦诚的工作环境,让员工能够自如地与经理或其他相关人员进行一对一谈话。这种形式可以是定期、有计划的会议,也可以是非正式的聊天。这是与专业人士沟通,了解他们感受的好方法。 是什么保持了员工的忠诚度? 员工满意度与忠诚度息息相关。人们会对关心他们并拥有积极工作文化的公司感到忠诚。 但究竟是什么让员工保持忠诚呢?有几个共同的特点: 有竞争力的薪酬 专业成长、学习和职业发展的机会 雇主认可员工的成就,并对他们的辛勤工作表示赞赏 积极、友好、没有欺凌的社交办公环境 专业人员可以灵活安排上班时间,也可以自由选择混合工作或远程工作 雇主信任员工的专业知识,让他们有责任做出与工作相关的决定 雇主尊重专业人员,关心他们的个人和职业发展 良好的工作与生活平衡 专业人员拥有有效开展工作所需的一切工具的环境 鼓励员工诚实反馈和开诚布公的雇主 管理团队在日常工作繁忙时提供帮助,让每个人都能感受到支持和站在同一条战线上 忠诚员工如何表现? 忠诚的员工真正关心他们为之工作的公司,因此他们会确保向你提供诚实的建议和反馈,以帮助你改进工作。 他们会充满好奇心,寻找创新和帮助公司发展的方法,同时也愿意倾听和学习。 忠诚的员工对工作充满热情,因此他们的工作效率会更高。他们以出色完成工作为荣,兢兢业业,并愿意在需要时努力工作--他们会付出额外的努力。忠诚的员工是快乐的,他们会对同事和公司文化产生积极影响,鼓励团队精神。事实上,他们的热情会激励团队的其他成员,帮助企业大步向前。 拥有如此强大的影响力,忠诚的员工对企业的成功至关重要。 如何提高公司员工的忠诚度? 一旦您衡量了公司的忠诚度,请确定您可以在哪些方面加以改进。 在员工满意度调查中,工作与生活的平衡是否多次作为建议出现?还是更具竞争力的薪酬?一旦您意识到可以通过哪些方式更好地支持员工,您就可以制定长期战略。想方设法开始实施保持员工忠诚度的共同特征。 请记住,忠诚的基础是你与团队之间牢固、长期的信任关系。这种关系的建立需要时间,因此可能需要一段时间才能看到员工忠诚度的提高。 毕竟,你要改变的是企业文化,这不可能一蹴而就。 您制定的任何战略都可以包括每周为改善企业文化而采取的行动。一个很好的开始就是定期表彰员工,通过每周的奖品--甚至只是一次谈话--来表达你对员工辛勤工作的感激之情。 通过每周的定期行动,你可以向员工表明,你在倾听他们的心声,你关心他们。因为,归根结底,真正重要的是,你和你的管理者要表现出对公司每个人的关心。这样才能培养长期的关系,让员工也关心你,这样才能建立员工的忠诚度。 以下为文章原文: What is employee loyalty? Employee loyalty is when your people choose to continue working with you for a long time because they love doing so. They’re happy with the working environment, are motivated, work hard to achieve company goals, and believe in the business’s mission. Loyal employees are less likely to jump ship if they spot opportunities elsewhere. If you improve employee loyalty, you won’t just boost your employee retention rates—you’ll notice a positive effect on your business as a whole. Why is employee loyalty important to companies? Employee loyalty is very important to companies because it has a huge bearing on effective human capital management, as well as on their overall success. It can provide a number of benefits, including: Boosted profits Reduced employee turnover Increased productivity and employee engagement A positive impact on customers Improved brand image A healthy company culture—because loyal team members have a positive attitude that’s infectious go to promotion How do you measure employee loyalty? You can measure employee loyalty by: Running surveys. Regularly running employee engagement surveys and employee satisfaction surveys helps you understand how motivated your people are to do their work, and how they feel about working for you. Calculating your employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS). This is a way of assessing employee loyalty and identifying ways in which you can improve it. Having one-on-one meetings. Encourage an honest working environment where people feel comfortable having one-on-one conversations with their managers, or with other relevant people. This can be in the form of a regular, scheduled meeting or an informal chat. It’s a good way to connect with professionals to gauge how they feel. What keeps an employee loyal? Employee satisfaction is linked to loyalty. People feel loyal to companies that look after them and that have a positive work culture. But what exactly keeps an employee loyal? There are several common features: Competitive pay Opportunities for professional growth, learning, and career advancement An employer that recognizes people’s achievements, and shows appreciation for their hard work A positive, friendly, and social office environment that’s free from bullying The possibility for professionals to have flexible start times, as well as the freedom to choose between hybrid or remote work An employer that trusts their people’s expertise, giving them the responsibility to make decisions associated with their work An employer that treats professionals with respect, caring about them both personally and professionally A good work-life balance An environment where professionals have all the tools they need to carry out their work effectively An employer that encourages honest employee feedback and openness A management team that helps with the day-to-day tasks when it’s busy, so that everyone feels supported and on the same side How does a loyal employee behave? Loyal employees genuinely care about the company they work for, so they’ll make sure they give you honest advice and feedback to help you improve. They’ll be curious, and look for ways to innovate and help the company grow, but they’re also willing to listen and learn. Loyal employees are passionate about the work they do and will be more productive as a result. They take pride in a job well done, are dedicated, and are willing to work hard when needed—they’ll go the extra mile. A loyal employee is happy and will have a positive influence on their colleagues, and on the company culture, encouraging team spirit. In fact, their enthusiasm will inspire the rest of the team, helping your business to take great strides forward. With such a powerful influence, loyal employees are crucial to your success. How can you improve employee loyalty at your company? Once you’ve measured company loyalty, identify what areas in particular you could improve on. Did work-life balance repeatedly come up as a suggestion in an employee satisfaction survey? Or more competitive salaries? Once you’re aware of the ways in which you can better support your people, you can create a long-term strategy. Find ways to start putting in place the common features that keep people loyal. Remember that the foundation of loyalty is a solid, long-term relationship of trust between you and your team. This kind of relationship can take time to develop, so it may take a while before you see an increase in employee loyalty. After all, you’re changing the culture of the business, which is unlikely to happen overnight. Any strategy you put in place could include actions that you take every week to improve the culture. A great place to start is with regular employee recognition, showing how much you appreciate your people’s hard work through weekly prizes—or even just a conversation. By taking regular action each week, you’ll show your people that you’re listening, and that you care. Because, at the end of the day, what really matters is that you and your managers show that you personally care about each and every person at your company. That’s what nurtures a long-term relationship where your people care about you too, and that’s what will build employee loyalty.

Employee enablement means empowering employees with the tools, resources, and knowledge they need to do their jobs effectively and reach their full potential. It can have a positive impact on an organization and its performance—as well as its profits. Why is employee enablement important? Employee enablement is important because it can have such a powerful effect on a business. If it’s ignored, then employees won’t be able to work effectively. They’ll feel frustrated and may be more likely to resign. But if it’s promoted, then it can bring a number of benefits, including: Increased productivity. When employees have the resources they need to do their jobs, they’re more productive and deliver higher-quality work. Boosted revenue.

Innovation. In a workplace that promotes employee enablement, employees are encouraged to make their own decisions, contribute their ideas, and communicate openly.

    【HR术语】什么是员工援助计划?(What is an employee assistance program?) 什么是员工援助计划(EAP)? 员工援助计划,简称 EAP,是以工作为基础的计划,旨在发现并帮助团队成员应对可能阻碍他们在工作中发挥最佳水平的个人挑战。 从人际关系问题、心理健康问题到药物滥用问题,员工援助计划都是一个组织致力于营造健康、心理稳定和提高生产力氛围的象征。 员工援助计划范例 EAP 可以根据每个工作场所的独特需求进行调整和定制。它们可以包括一系列服务,例如: 保密咨询。为员工提供一个安全的避风港,让他们可以就个人和工作相关的问题和压力获得指导。 法律指导。为从家庭法到财务问题等各种法律情况提供可靠的建议。 健康计划。通过以健康为中心的举措(如健身房会员资格和营养咨询)提升员工的幸福感。 转介服务。帮助您的团队成员找到有用的外部资源,如康复中心或托儿服务。 财务咨询。允许员工获得财务规划方面的援助,尤其是在人生重大转折时期。 员工援助计划的益处 员工援助计划可为团队成员和组织带来多种益处: 提高士气和工作效率。EAP 可以通过解决对员工的注意力产生负面影响的任何个人问题来提高工作效率。 减少缺勤。有了 EAP,许多导致缺勤的问题都会得到解决,缺勤率也会大幅下降。 增强工作场所的心理健康。EAP 通常会提供心理健康服务,营造一个更健康的工作空间,让员工认识到健康心理的重要性。 减轻工作压力。EAP 提供压力管理资源,有助于营造更轻松的工作环境。 留住员工。通过为个人问题提供支持,企业可以提高团队成员的忠诚度,降低员工流失率。 员工援助计划的缺点 尽管员工援助计划有很多好处,但它也有一些潜在的缺点: 费用。实施和维护 EAP 可能会造成经济负担,尤其是对小型企业而言。 利用率低。团队成员可能会因为缺乏认识、认为有污点或担心保密性而不使用该计划。 有效性。EAP 的成功取决于服务质量。如果服务质量不佳或处理不当,该计划可能不会有效,反而会浪费时间和金钱。 如何实施员工援助计划 推出有效的 EAP 是一个精心策划的过程,涉及多个步骤: 第 1 步:确定需求 首先要对团队成员进行调查或组织焦点小组,以了解他们的需求以及造成他们压力的原因--无论是经济压力、工作与生活的平衡、人际关系问题还是心理健康问题。这有助于您定制 EAP,以应对团队面临的具体挑战。 第 2 步:选择计划 现在是时候选择一个能满足团队需求的 EAP 了。这可以是由人力资源部门管理的内部计划,也可以是由第三方专家提供的外包计划。 第三步:沟通 既然您已经选择了 EAP,下一步就是向您的团队成员介绍它。您可以通过电子邮件、通讯或团队会议等各种沟通渠道,让他们了解该计划的所有细节、服务和好处。营造鼓励使用的环境。其中至关重要的一点是向团队成员保证计划的保密性,减轻他们可能存在的任何潜在恐惧。 第四步:培训 除了沟通,提供培训课程或研讨会向团队成员介绍 EAP 也很重要。他们应该知道如何使用该计划,并了解该计划能为他们做些什么。 第 5 步:监控和调整 实施 EAP 并不是整个过程的最后一步;计划的成功取决于持续的监控和调整。定期收集团队成员的反馈意见,审查计划的使用率和成果。它是否有助于减少压力和缺勤?团队成员是否更满意,工作效率是否更高?根据这些信息,您可以做出或大或小的调整,帮助改进 EAP,确保它始终对每个人有益。 EAP 如何影响公司文化?

Employee assistance programs, or EAPs for short, are work-based programs designed to identify and assist team members in handling personal challenges that might be holding them back from performing their best at work. From relationship troubles and mental health issues to grappling with substance abuse, EAPs are a symbol of an organization’s dedication to cultivating an atmosphere of wellness, mental stability, and boosted productivity. Employee assistance program examples EAPs can be adapted and tailored to fit every workplace’s unique needs. They can include a range of services such as: Confidential counseling. Offering a safe haven for your people where they can get guidance for both personal and work-related issues and stresses. Legal guidance. Providing reliable advice for legal situations, from family law to financial issues. Wellness programs. Promoting employee happiness through health-centric initiatives such as gym memberships and nutritional counseling. Referral services. Helping to connect your team members to helpful external resources, like rehabilitation centers or childcare services. Financial advice. Allowing access to aid for financial planning, particularly during significant life transitions. Employee assistance program benefits EAPs provide a wide range of benefits for both team members and the organization: Boosted morale and productivity. EAPs can elevate productivity by addressing any personal issues that are negatively impacting an employee’s focus. Reduced absences. With access to EAPs, absenteeism can significantly drop as many issues leading to absence get resolved. Enhanced mental health in the workplace. EAPs often incorporate mental health services, fostering a healthier workspace that embraces the importance of a healthy mental state. Less workplace stress. Offering resources for stress management, EAPs can contribute to a more relaxed work environment. Employee retention. By providing support for personal issues, an organization can increase team member loyalty and reduce turnover. Disadvantages of employee assistance programs Despite the fact that EAPs come with multiple benefits, EAPs do come with a few potential downsides: Expense. Implementing and maintaining EAPs might be a financial burden, especially for smaller businesses. Under-utilization. Team members might not use the program due to a lack of awareness, perceived stigmas, or confidentiality concerns. Effectiveness. The success of an EAP depends on the quality of services. If subpar or mishandled, the program might not be effective and can be a waste of both time and money. How to implement an employee assistance plan Rolling out an effective EAP is a carefully planned process involving several steps: Step 1: Identifying needs Start with conducting surveys or hosting focus groups with team members to understand their needs and what is causing them stress—whether that’s financial stress, work-life balance, relationship troubles, or mental health concerns. This helps you to tailor your EAP to address the specific challenges facing your team. Step 2: Selecting a program Now it’s time to choose an EAP that caters to your team’s needs. This could be an in-house program managed by your HR department, or it could be an outsourced program provided by a third-party specialist. Step 3: Communication Now that you’ve selected your EAP, the next step is telling your team members about it. You can let them know all of the details about the program, its services, and its benefits through various communication channels like emails, newsletters, or team meetings. Create an environment that encourages its usage. A crucial aspect of this is to assure team members about the confidentiality of the program, alleviating any potential fears they may have. Step 4: Training In addition to communication, providing training sessions or workshops to introduce the EAP to your team members is important. They should know how to access the program and understand what it can do for them. Step 5: Monitoring and adjusting Implementing the EAP is not the final step of the process; the program’s success depends on continuous monitoring and adjusting. Regularly gather feedback from team members and review the usage rates and outcomes of the program. Is it helping to reduce stress and absenteeism? Are team members more satisfied and productive? Based on this information, you can make small or large adjustments that help to improve the EAP and ensure it remains beneficial for everyone. How do EAPs impact company culture? EAPs can positively influence a company’s culture. They communicate the organization’s genuine care about employee wellbeing, beyond their professional contributions. By offering tools to manage personal and professional challenges, EAPs cultivate an inclusive, supportive environment with the result often leading to increased team satisfaction, engagement, and loyalty—contributing to a vibrant company culture. Fostering a happier, healthier working environment Through a comprehensive understanding of what an employee assistance program is, we can harness its benefits to create healthier, more resilient workplaces. EAPs remind us that our team members are not just employees but real people navigating through complex life situations. By supporting them, we invest in the strength—and the overall happiness—of our organization and help build a strong, lasting company culture.

    提升员工福利和幸福感的七个关键 在当前的职场环境中,对员工的关怀不仅仅是提供基本的福利和津贴。雇主们意识到,关注团队的健康和心理福祉不仅是人类的行为,也是明智的商业行为。 为什么这么说呢?因为当员工有积极性和良好的状态时,他们就会对工作充满热情。这并不是一个简单、好听的理论;事实证明,培养工作满意度和员工满意度的组织始终会取得更好的业绩。 在本文中,我们将探讨全面关爱员工的理念。本文将分为七个关键方面,每个方面都涉及员工生活的一个重要部分,以及在这些方面的投资不仅能让员工更快乐,还能创建一个以员工为本的组织。 1. 支柱 1:身体健康 对于人力资源专业人士、决策者和首席执行官来说,确保员工的全面福祉非常关键,因为身体健康是这种福祉的第一支柱,实际上也是员工健康及其生产力整个概念的主要支撑。 各组织可以通过举办研讨会,宣传经常参加体育锻炼和营养均衡饮食的必要性,从而促进健康的工作场所,鼓励员工采用健康的生活方式。这对员工的整体健康和工作表现都会产生积极影响。 世界卫生组织的一项研究显示了促进体育锻炼的经济效益。在促进身体健康方面每投入 1 美元,就能在医疗保健方面节省 3.20 美元,回报显著。认识到员工健康与经济责任之间的这种联系并付诸行动,是培养一支稳定的高绩效员工队伍的基本步骤。 2. 支柱 2:职业健康 对于人力资源专业人员、管理人员和团队领导而言,了解并培养员工的职业幸福感至关重要,因为它可以直接影响员工对自身角色的看法、工作满意度以及组织的成功。 将职业幸福感放在首位的原因在于,让员工感到自己的技能不仅得到了认可,而且还得到了积极的发展,从而产生使命感和满足感。那些投资于支持专业成长和创造职业晋升机会的项目的组织,其员工的参与度会明显提高。 盖洛普公司的一项研究表明,87% 的千禧一代认为专业发展和职业成长机会是他们选择工作的重要因素。承认这些方面并将其纳入战略,是使个人职业抱负与公司集体成功相一致的关键。 3. 支柱 3:财务状况良好 人力资源专业人员和首席财务官必须关注财务健康。 现在的问题是:应该优先考虑财务福利吗?财务压力会对员工产生重大影响。它不仅会影响员工的钱包,还会影响他们的整体健康,进而导致压力。为了解决这个问题,许多决策者正在引入财务健康计划。这些计划通常包括预算研讨会和退休规划帮助等实用元素。 这些举措的积极成果显而易见。建议投资改善员工财务健康状况的首席财务官们发现,他们的工作效率提高了,缺勤情况也减少了。普华永道的 "2020 年员工财务健康调查 "显示,56% 的员工认为财务压力会严重影响工作。解决财务健康问题不仅能缓解个人压力,还有助于提高员工的专注度和参与度。 4. 支柱 4:社会福祉 在工作场所获得认可和建立社区感会直接影响员工的满意度和参与度。 优先考虑社会福祉的原因显而易见。积极包容的工作文化会提高员工的满意度。有了社区感和包容性,就能为团队成员之间的协作和支持创造条件。 Harvard Business Review的一项研究表明,在工作中拥有稳固社交关系的员工,其参与度要高出七倍。对人力资源专业人士来说,投资于工作中的社会福利计划具有实际优势,是一项战略性举措,旨在提高员工满意度,培养一支更加敬业的员工队伍。 5. 支柱 5:社区福利 积极参与社区服务和社会责任倡议会影响员工士气,从而形成积极的组织文化。 当组织和行业领导者将社区服务融入其企业文化时,就会提高员工的满意度和使命感。 德勤志愿服务调查显示,89% 的员工一致认为,支持志愿服务活动的组织能提供更好的工作环境。了解社区福祉与员工满意度之间的联系并付诸行动,不仅是一种社会责任,也是人力资源专业人员和组织期待培养一个更加积极、目的性更强的工作场所的战略举措。 6. 支柱 6:情感幸福 "实现职场梦想的最佳途径是照顾好自己的情绪"。我们都知道,心理健康是幸福感的一个重要组成部分,而那些致力于提供咨询服务和压力管理计划等资源的组织也看到了实际的好处,比如员工缺勤的情况减少了,从挑战中反弹的能力提高了,这在竞争激烈的商业世界中确实很突出。 世界卫生组织的一项研究强调了投资心理健康的经济效益。在治疗常见的心理健康问题上每花费 1 美元,就能在改善健康和提高生产力方面获得 4 美元的可观回报。对于人力资源专业人士和决策者来说,认识到情绪健康问题并将其纳入组织战略不仅是一种富有同情心的做法,也是一种明智的投资,可以提高员工的健康水平、应变能力和工作效率。 7. 支柱 7:以目标为导向的幸福感 对于首席执行官和组织而言,承认并整合目的驱动型幸福感具有重要意义。 优先考虑目标驱动型幸福感的基础是认识到个人价值观与工作相一致的深远影响。将目标感融入使命和价值观的企业,员工会更加坚定地投入工作。这种由共同目标感驱动的承诺有助于提高员工保留率。 Imperative 公司和 LinkedIn 公司进行的一项调查显示,认同其角色使命感的员工更有可能留在当前的雇主身边。对于寻求提高员工承诺和长期参与度的人力资源专业人士和决策者来说,将目的驱动型倡议纳入组织计划不仅是一项战略决策,也是一个文化因素。 取得成功: 照顾员工的明智之举 关爱员工不仅是做正确的事,也是明智之举。数据和实例表明,投资于员工福利的方方面面都会带来好处和积极影响。 员工不仅能提高工作效率,还有助于降低医疗成本。我们知道这似乎是一种幻觉,但这正是全面关爱员工的实际优势所在。 在现代工作场所,事情可能会变得复杂,确保员工的快乐和健康不仅是一件很好的事情,也是在竞争激烈的商业世界中脱颖而出的必要条件。
