The Leader’s Role in Employee Well-being: Creating a Healthy Workplace Culture

As a Leader you aren’t directly responsible for your employee’s well-being, but you absolutely have a role in supporting their well-being.

How do you go about supporting their well-being? First off, make sure you are leading by example. Show them what a wellness focused leader looks like, take time off, work reasonable hours and be open with your own well-being journey.

Other ways include creating/encouraging policies that support your people, push for better benefits, invest in your people! Show them that they are value and give them room to not only be their best selves, but allow them to handle their life outside of work, be flexible!

The last two things that I think are very important for leaders…the first is to make sure you focus and encourage innovation, if you aren’t growing your are dying. Lastly, you have to genuinely care about your people. If you don’t care…why are you in leadership?

I hope this was helpful! Thanks for being here! Take care!
