    Join the Community of Safety Pros today! From Gallup As the U.S. and its workplaces start to eye post-pandemic normality, there is an urgent need for organizations to press forward with the progress made in employee wellbeing during the COVID-19 era. That's because after increasing to near 50% during the early months of the pandemic, the percentage of employees who strongly agree that their organization cares about their wellbeing has eroded, losing 13 percentage points since last spring. Here are 10 critically important best practices for enhancing employee wellbeing in 2021 and beyond. Maintain a strong and sustained leadership voice regarding the importance of wellbeing. Demonstrate a shared and consistent definition of what is meant by "wellbeing." Keep the line of communication constantly open. Lead by example. Include family members. Re-promote wellbeing programs and offerings. Scientifically evaluate the effectiveness of wellbeing programs. Leverage employee engagement to drive employee wellbeing. Develop a network of local wellbeing coaches and champions who serve as resources to collect and share best practices. Aim strengths at wellbeing.
