Experts have advocated role modelling by leaders to create an employee friendly environment of psychological safety and de-stigmatizing mental health, to mark the World Health Day.
The paradigm shift that is required is to ensure wellbeing is an integral part of workplace culture and business strategy, and not just a response to crisis.
According to Preeti Malhotra, co-owner & practice head - Wellbeing, Great Place To Work India, “As India Inc. moves towards creating organizations that are agile, high performing, ready for growth and resilient, health and wellbeing become the foundation for creating such organizations. Leaders at great workplaces take ownership of creating a culture of holistic wellbeing and tracking their Workplace Wellness Index like any other key business metric.
According to a research done by Great Place To Work in India shows that employees at organisations that are able to create such a culture show a much higher intent to stay and display more discretionary effort,” The research reveals that these organizations are also able to address the challenge of burnout which is significantly lower at 15% for companies in the top quartile among the best workplaces in health and wellness as compared to the companies in the bottom quartile where 39% employees are experiencing burnout. Wellbeing is thus non-negotiable today and provides a distinct competitive advantage to the organisations that have been able to successfully integrate it as a part of their culture.
