Flexibility is the name of the game in the modern workplace.
After over a year of juggling personal and work-related responsibilities, professionals have a deeper understanding of what is best for their productivity and mental health.
While choice has played a significant role in accommodating employee needs, there are other aspects of the workplace that professionals desire to support their personal wellbeing.
This isn’t just necessary to appease the needs of workers — by offering services and amenities that directly support employee wellness, employers can improve productivity levels and attract top talent.
But how?
One method of solidifying a company’s dedication to wellbeing is to offer virtual wellness activities such as yoga classes, meditation sessions, exercise classes and similar activities that can directly improve the mental health of workers.
Offering affordable healthy snacks and meals is another way to ensure that employees are mentally and physically supported. Keeping in mind dietary restrictions and the nutrients needed to boost productivity will be key here.
Another way to address the needs of workers is to provide them with access to remote work communities in their area. With many employees feeling the burden of working alone in their homes, offering them access to a coworking space or a virtual remote working group can help ensure that they do not feel isolated.
