What is 

Employee Wellbeing 
In short, employee wellbeing is the way employees’ work, expectations,
workplace affects their overall health and happiness.

Employees might not feel well, even when you treat them like gold.
Even when your organization has clearly defined goals or when you pay
them money, bonuses, and titles. Not everyone will, but some employees
will not feel good. It’s because wellbeing has so many elements. 

Here are few dimensions of employee wellbeing: 

Social Wellness 

In simple words, it’s about connecting with other people at work.


Building and maintaining positive relationships should happen
consistently as that makes employees feel involved with the community. 

Emotional Wellness 

Organizations need to help their employees cope and deal with the
challenges at work. Long hours can affect anyone. Frequent breaks to
help people out should be the focus. Acknowledging mental health at
work should be the start, as most organizations don’t even do that. 

Environmental Wellness 

The work environment affects everyone. A toxic environment makes


employees run for their lives whereas an open and flexible
culture increases employee satisfaction. 
Physical Wellness 

Sudden health emergencies can derail an employee’s journey at the


company. It is connected to mental health as well. Lack of sleep gives
way to fatigue and in turn, leads to low creativity and productivity.
