Investment in employee well-being: Key to productivity
Investment in employee well-being: Key to productivity
Sep 26, 2024
Companies that focus on employee well-being see a significant increase in productivity—up to 31%. A key aspect of the work environment is the proper organization of office spaces. With the pandemic, the role of these spaces has shifted, and it is now important to rethink why employees go to physical workplaces.
Mental health has gained prominence within human resources departments. Research shows that when employees do not feel mentally well, productivity and motivation decrease. According to Beltrán Benjumea, director of PageGroup Colombia, ignoring employee mental health not only harms business results but also generates higher costs. For this reason, it is essential to invest in welcoming work environments and actively listen to employees.
Leadership also plays a crucial role in creating environments where employees feel valued and motivated to share ideas and work on innovative projects.
The impact of well-being
Investing in employee well-being has clear benefits: it increases productivity, reduces errors, and fosters creativity. In fact, studies reveal that companies prioritizing well-being are not only more productive but also achieve a more positive work environment. In Latin America, 8 out of 10 employees believe their companies are committed to creating psychologically and emotionally healthy environments.
Óscar Jiménez, from Great Place To Work, highlights that interest in mental health has grown both in companies and society in general. After the pandemic, offices are no longer just for individual work—they have transformed into places for collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
Offices of the future
Eliana López, from Michael Page, suggests that the success of new office dynamics will depend on the adaptability of organizations. Furthermore, sustainable offices not only support employee well-being but also generate energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions.
Finally, open offices without fixed desks and with more flexible spaces promote a more agile, collaborative work environment with a strong sense of belonging.
