A calm mind helps you to think more clearly, analyze situations more accurately, and make better decisions.
It's for this reason, alongside many others, that modern workplaces implement a series of steps known as the Six Pillars of Workplace Wellbeing. Essentially a comprehensive framework for the promotion of a healthy and supportive work environment, organizations can follow the six steps to create calmer, happier, healthier, and more engaged employees.
The six pillars – job security, financial security, health, support, protection, and work-life balance – are an ethos that derives from the idea that employee performance is linked to six key areas of wellbeing in the workplace. An example of one pillar is health which encompasses aspects such as ergonomic workstations, healthy eating options, and opportunities for physical activity. Prioritizing physical well-being helps employees maintain good overall health, reduce absenteeism, and increase productivity.
Social well-being is another key aspect of the approach, this focuses on building strong interpersonal connections and a sense of community within the workplace which in turn encourages collaboration, teamwork, and open communication channels - something which doesn’t just benefit individuals, but truly makes teams stronger while increasing productivity.
Regarded as a leader in their field, injection molding stalwarts Jeremy Svoboda and Marc Ammerlaan dedicate a significant part of their time to ensuring that the six pillars are understood and recognized across each of their businesses. With decades spent managing teams globally, they recognize that to maintain the highest standards that they and their customers expect, they need to ensure their teams on the ground are supported in the best possible way.
Jeremy summed up the thinking very clearly when he stated: “Investing in employees' intellectual growth not only enhances their skills and knowledge but also boosts morale and engagement”.
Staying calm during difficult times helps all of us release our inner character which in turn provides a positive impression to others. Forward-thinking companies such as those within the ADIS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP fully embrace this thinking and the motion behind these six pillars. Perhaps it's time to question whether other suppliers do the same?
