In many sectors, good employees are harder to find than capital and customers. How can organisations get the work done, run a healthy business, and create value for customers, investors, society and employees alike? This book provides employers, managers, leaders and professionals with the answer. Fundamentally improving employee wellbeing through human-centric business is key to attracting and retaining employees, and helping them thrive. It fosters pride and commitment among employees and leads to a significant and sustainable increase in productivity.
Increasing wellbeing in business requires a sound strategy based on three practices: see, share, change. Not isolated initiatives, but a systemic approach in which leadership, teams and organisational culture move forward together. The process starts with measuring how employees are actually faring in terms of livelihood security, health and their opportunity to flourish. Based on insights on these three dimensions, board members and managers work with employees to identify areas for improvement and address them structurally. Stronger outcomes demonstrably lead to higher productivity, lower staff turnover and lower absenteeism. This book offers concrete tools for a structured approach to change, delivering clear and measurable results for customers, investors and, of course, employees themselves.
