Why the workplace is the next frontier in wellbeing<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Toxic workplaces certainly existed before COVID-19, but it took a pandemic for companies to stop and notice that employees were overburdened and burned out. For many, this shift towards corporate wellness programs, flexible work and valuing diversity and inclusion has been a long time coming. And like many pandemic-induced movements, this isn\u2019t just a trend. Workplace wellbeing is here to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

This issue of MarketWell explores the working world and how wellbeing doesn\u2019t just fit in, but how it needs to be fully ingrained. When was the last time you did a check-up on wellbeing in your workplace? You may know what you do \u201cwell\u201d in support of wellbeing, but is your team aware? Need help? I\u2019d be happy to chat about developing wellbeing strategies and communications for your team.<\/span><\/p>\n

This interactive article highlights the results of a McKinsey survey about the health and wellbeing of working parents. Employee wellbeing is an integral part of overall wellbeing, and it looks like parents are losing out \u2013 and losing it \u2013 when it comes to thriving in their workplaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

The takeaway: <\/em>As marketers, there\u2019s a tendency to fall into the trap of focusing narrowly on consumer behaviour as it pertains to our brand only. But it\u2019s important to zoom out so we can understand the challenges our consumers are facing in their lives, and then doing what we can to address them. So, while we may not be able to tackle their office culture, we can empathize and offer support to consumers where possible. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
