No employee is the same. The evolving needs of employees demand a shift toward holistic support that spans all of life's challenges, from caregiving, to illness, to childcare. This is key to building a healthier, more resilient workforce.In this episode, we sit down with Derek Lundsten, President and Chief Culture Officer at LifeGuides, for a conversation about the different ways organizations can support their workforce, and what's missing in their efforts. We cover the importance of work-life balance, and how important it is for employees to get genuine downtime. Derek also shares how LifeGuides helps people who are going through challenges in their lives, and explains how more and more organizations are proactively addressing the needs of their teams.Finally, we discuss how to strike the balance between what is good for the business and what is good for the employee, and personal versus employer responsibility when it comes to ensuring wellbeing.Key moments: How LifeGuides matches people who are going through life challenges with someone who has faced a similar problem What methods employers can use to support their employees outside the workforce as well as inside Why jobs need to be matched with job descriptions Why employees need to be able to say ‘yes' and ‘no' The importance of having a learning budget The issues with employers providing benefits that their consultants are selling rather than asking their employees what they want Strategies to improve peer-to-peer support, from better listening to enshrining values and missionKey links:Subscribe to HR Unplugged Series: https://www.bamboohr.com/resources/podcasts/hr-unplugged/Join HR Heroes Slack Community: https://join.slack.com/t/hrheroesworkspace/shared_invite/zt-21ad3f1r8-dkWC2EdmyhxUAHw9cGLdQwBamboo HR Homepage: https://www.bamboohr.com/Connect with Derek on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dereklundsten/
