Beyond Wellbeing: From Good Intentions to Real Change
For years, we have been aware of how important it is to support wellbeing at work. More often than not, however, awareness rarely leads to action. On the occasion that action does happen, it scarcely data driven and can be misdirected where the right intervention is focussed on the right thing.
During this month's North East Recycling Forum, Dr. Ollie Bell from Kalobrate described the relationship between work, culture, and wellbeing. He highlighted how leaders who don’t focus on nurturing a good workplace culture can hit the business hard. We can see culture impacting absence, people turnover, productivity, conflict, or grievances. These all costs both time and money. But those costs are rarely explored, or articulated which means culture is not longer as serious as we would like. Without a strong business case, culture slips down the list, nothing get’s done, and culture get’s worse.
Culture, or the behaviours we all exhibit at work, not only influence the wellbeing of our people, they also impact how inclusive we are as an employer, or how sustainable we are as a business. Culture, inclusion and sustainability, on the other hand, are often delegated to different divisions meaning they are rarely all prioritised at the same time.
And we want to know why.
Kalobrate have been working with Genee and Positive About Inclusion to better understand how culture, inclusion and sustainability are prioritised in your business. Your insights can guide us to help.
By sharing those insights in this 5 minute, anonymous survey, we can begin to build services which shape the future of the waste industry, the people in it, and the environment it contributes too:
