The holistic approach consists, according to the HR Director website, of focussing on the four main pillars of the well-being of employees and trying to support these as much as possible.
Physical comfort
The first component of well-being at the workplace is physical comfort. The aim is to arrange a healthy and comfortable working environment that allows employees to focus on their work. Implement modern technologies, control such parameters as humidity of air and temperature, remember to have enough plants in your offices, as well as ergonomically suitable chairs and furnishing. In a wider sense, you should also support your employees in sport and a healthy lifestyle.
Mental comfort
Psychological comfort plays a crucial role both in the health and work performance of employees. Create a stimulating, safe and friendly working environment where everybody may use their potential to the fullest. Have a zero tolerance policy towards bullying or any form of pressure, ensure the company listens to employees, who will then not feel inferior or frustrated, and enable employees effectively to balance their personal and work lives.
Social comfort
This aspect of well-being is often neglected. It refers to the satisfaction of employees with the role they play in the team and in the company as a whole. It also refers to certain social securities within the given company. It is important in the overall well-being of employees that they can ask colleagues for a favour or, in the event of difficulties, turn to their manager.
Financial comfort
An important part of the overall well-being of any person is also financial comfort. This means that the given employee need not worry about their wages or that they will get paid on time, and they do not have to count every penny to live in a dignified manner. This pillar also includes a transparent bonus policy and effective communication on the part of the employer about matters related to finances.
