The best strategy is to empower employees to be more aware of the importance of their wellbeing ( mental & physical) and inspire them to prioritize it by providing them with the adequate resources to do so; For example giving them the chance to track their time, understand how they are spending it, see how much time are they allocating for focus work, for their wellbeing etc these kinds of insights will eventually help them make more informed decisions relative to their wellness.

@rihab_zd You're right, providing resources like time tracking and insights isn't just about managing work – it's about empowering employees to make mindful choices and prioritize their well-being. This can lead to greater motivation, productivity, and overall satisfaction in both work and personal life.

Congrats on the launch, supported you! ♥️ In my opinion, it’s more about the culture of ownership and trust. People are always trying to be their best selves when they’re given some kind of freedom and clear goals the need to achieve.

@anliamets You're absolutely right! When employees feel ownership and trust, they're more engaged, motivated, and invested in their work. This leads to greater creativity, productivity, and overall well-being. At Triibe, we want to help unlock that potential for every team. We love your perspective! What are some specific ways you've seen a culture of ownership and trust lead to positive outcomes in the workplace? And how can platforms like Triibe further support these values? Let's keep the conversation going!

Providing "wellness" time off. I think its so easy to get burned out, and having some allocated days to take off is really helpful.

@mayaa17 That's a great point! I'm curious to hear more about how you think wellness time off could be structured effectively. How many days do you think would be ideal? At Triibe, we're passionate about supporting employee well-being. That's why we've developed features like mood tracker and activity challenges to help people prioritize their self-care during the workday.

@mayaa17 Wellness time off is an interesting idea, but how could we deploy it into the organization?

@mayaa17 @tranggpham Deploying wellness time off successfully requires buy-in from leadership. It's crucial to communicate the benefits of this policy to managers and executives, highlighting how it can improve employee well-being, engagement, and ultimately, productivity. Once leadership is on board, they can champion the initiative and help overcome any potential challenges with implementation. We'd love to explore ways Triibe could help your organization implement and optimize your wellness time off policy.

I think a simple thank you or well done at the right time works wonders for team moral and wellness. Leaders should also rest sometimes and that could set a good example!

Employee wellness goes beyond physical health. We've incorporated mental health days into our leave policy.

@abigailwiliam11 We couldn't agree more! Employee wellness encompasses mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and prioritizing mental health days is a fantastic step. We're thrilled to see more companies like yours recognizing its importance. While offering mental health days is commendable, how can we ensure employees feel comfortable taking them without stigma? What other creative approaches can companies adopt to support mental well-being in the workplace? Let's share ideas and learn from each other!

Do you have any tips for leaders on how to effectively offer genuine appreciation in the moment? And how can we create a culture where taking breaks is encouraged at all levels, not just for the top brass?

I feel gamification is a strong approach to engaging employees, far better than any other strategy. It keeps employees hooked.

One unique strategy that I have found effective is implementing flexible work arrangements, such as allowing employees to work remotely or in hybrid.

@michael_gammon Absolutely! A timely "thank you" or "well done" can make a world of difference in someone's day. It's such a simple gesture, but it shows that their work is valued and noticed. And you're right, leaders setting the example by taking breaks is crucial. When they prioritize their own well-being, it sends a powerful message that it's okay for everyone else to do the same. Do you have any tips for leaders on how to effectively offer genuine appreciation in the moment? And how can we create a culture where taking breaks is encouraged at all levels, not just for the top brass? At Triibe, we're working on features that can help celebrate achievements and encourage peer recognition. We also believe in promoting work-life balance, and our flexible scheduling tools can help leaders and employees alike prioritize their well-being.

Respect and listen to employees, always ensure annual health checks for employees. I believe that as long as a boss does these things well, the quality of work will improve.

@duy_huynh4 I agree with you. Nowadays, bosses just want to exploit their employees to the end but they never get the reward they deserve.
Share
Vipin Raj K
@duy_huynh4 Absolutely! Treating employees with respect, listening to their concerns, and prioritizing their well-being are powerful motivators. When employees feel valued and cared for, they're more engaged, productive, and dedicated to their work. It's a win-win situation! Respectful communication and valuing employees' voices create a positive work environment that fosters trust, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. It's like planting a seed of respect that grows into a thriving garden of engagement and productivity. What are some specific ways you've seen leaders demonstrate respect and prioritize employee well-being? And how can we, in Triibe further contribute to building a truly positive and supportive work culture?

Expressing gratitude or appreciation at the right moment can have a positive impact on team morale and well-being. Leaders should also take breaks occasionally, which could serve as a good model for others.

@lilybelle Triibe wholeheartedly agrees! We believe in building tools that make it easy for leaders to express appreciation and encourage healthy work habits. For example, our rewards and recognition module lets you celebrate achievements publicly or privately, and our wellness features help everyone track their progress and identify areas for improvement.
