Follow up on employee well-being with ongoing well-being surveys

Ongoing wellbeing surveys have become a necessity. Covid-19 and the lockdown of large parts of Denmark has put companies, schools and organizations under great pressure. For most people, this has meant a big adjustment, where working from home and homeschooling have become part of many people's everyday lives.

However, prolonged repatriation and social isolation can have a significant impact on both employee wellbeing and mental health. As a leader of a company, organization or school where employees, teachers and students are repatriated or working from home, you should also have an increased focus on promoting wellbeing during this difficult time.

Here you can HRM-Nordic Pulse be a great tool for getting ongoing feedback and measuring the wellbeing of people who work at home or are deployed.

Get continuous feedback on wellbeing via SMS with HRM-Nordic Pulse

HRM Nordic Pulse is a tool that makes it possible to conduct online surveys and get feedback on different focus areas such as wellbeing. With the tool, you can set up and send out questions to the people involved that can help provide greater clarity on how they are thriving.

The questions can be sent out via email or SMS, making it even easier to get feedback on the questions - especially with employees or students who may not have an email, but will often have a phone on them.

In the SMS sent to the recipient, there will be a link to the questions. Each question is answered on a scale. When all the people have answered the questions, you will receive a report of the answers, which you can use to continuously follow up on wellbeing.

In this way, the tool allows you to easily and quickly get ongoing feedback from employees, so you can keep your finger on the pulse and closely monitor the development of employee well-being. Du kan læse meget mere om værktøjet her.

Follow up on well-being on an ongoing basis

You can use the ongoing feedback you receive to follow up on employee wellbeing on an ongoing basis. Based on the questions that employees have answered, you can create a dialog with the people involved about what's going well, what's going less well and what can be done to improve wellbeing.

By conducting regular well-being surveys and engaging directly with employees, it's possible to address unhappiness faster and create new initiatives aimed at increasing well-being in the company, organization or schools.

HRM-Nordic Pulse can thus be used to improve communication between employees, managers and students with ongoing well-being surveys to monitor the well-being and mental health of those who are deployed or working from home.

At the same time, the tool can help management gain knowledge about how the Corona crisis affects the well-being and mental health of employees and students, which can be used to take concrete actions to improve well-being.

Tips to increase well-being and the psychological work environment

There are several ways in which a company, organization or school can improve wellbeing. As a starting point, it's a good idea to look at the feedback that management has received from employees and, based on that, start a dialog with employees about what could help them improve their wellbeing.

Below are 9 general tips on how to improve wellbeing and mental health in the workplace:

• Make clear statements and ground rules about how you handle the Corona situation and how you comply with the guidelines.
• Recognize employees for their efforts - both those who work at home and those who are furloughed.
• Follow up with employees to talk about how the day went, what went well and what didn't go so well, and finish with a good story of the day to end the workday on a high note.
• Make sure to provide the necessary support to employees who need it and intervene at signs of overload, stress or unhappiness.
• Help employees set the boundaries between work and play if they need it.
• Make sure all employees know what their role is and what tasks are their responsibility.
• Maintain an ongoing dialog with employees through phone and video meetings.
• Make sure you have a close dialog with employees regarding new initiatives, challenges, experience sharing and the like.
• Focus on creating a close collaboration between employees and management to create a good psychological work environment.
