Labor well-being, key to achieving better performance in companies

Today, employee wellness is so important that even developing it has become good business for many organizations.

In this sense, many companies are implementing initiatives to give priority to the way in which their employees interact with each other and carry out their day-to-day activities.

Débora Bonetto, NotCo’s director of Latam people, stated that “well-being actions within companies have brought a better quality of life to employees and have led them to develop a ‘delicious’ culture that generates positive impacts on the business.” .

On the other hand, Carolina Borzatto, marketing director of SAP Concur in Latin America, stated in this regard that “the objective is to understand that having people with good physical, mental and emotional health generates happy collaborators and, consequently, greater commitment ”.

He considered that companies, while achieving their objectives as a team, must faithfully believe that having people at the center is a practice that generates a high return on investment, which is why business leaders must consider it among their priorities.

The productivity

In addition, Borzatto highlighted that policies focused on collaborators lead businesses to perceive improvements in productivity, with people who make the most of their time and are willing to optimize their efforts to the maximum in favor of a better personal and professional life.

He considered that “at the end of the day, companies will have salespeople who sell more, designers who are more creative, customer service staff who are more concerned with attention, and motivated leaders who see their team as the group that will take companies to a higher level. ”.

Bonetto added that in his company the corporate culture avoids hierarchies and adapts to the type of work depending on the activities of each area.

He stressed that “during the pandemic we learned and understood the importance of rest and mental peace of mind. That is why we add days so that we can all share with our families on important dates such as Christmas and New Year ”.

Sandra Veloso, executive manager of the Alagev agency, spoke about the union of business and leisure trips, where people give themselves the opportunity to visit museums, bars, restaurants, and take tours.

According to Veloso, “of these trips, about 40% last for two days and 30% for one day. Employers are now thinking about how this type of travel can help people to have a space for leisure and that is not only for work”.

The experts concluded that, thinking of increasingly competitive business scenarios, companies that have not made changes focused on the labor well-being of their employees have an outstanding debt, since it will largely depend on that to achieve the objectives and that they can there be a higher performance to meet the challenges of the market.

Finally, Bonetto added that “during the pandemic we learned and understood the importance of rest and mental peace of mind. That is why we add days so that we can all share with our families on important dates such as Christmas and New Year.
