Are your leaders and managers modeling the desired qualities and behaviors to support organizational and individual well-being?
Culture comes from the top. So if you want every employee to possess certain qualities, or behave in specific ways, you have to be sure your leaders are mirroring that behavior first. That means cultivating leadership that not only believes passionately in the goals and values of the business, but in the way you execute those goals and values as well. By focusing on the culture and leadership qualities of your company’s management, Dimensions can help you determine the best way to cultivate highly engaged and energetic teams that perform incredibly well.

If the culture of a company could be boiled down to its most important elements, they would be trust, support, respect, civility, organizational values, and a feeling of safety and well-being.

If your team is disengaged, unhappy, and unsatisfied, then your company is part of the majority. 67% of the entire US workforce is unhappy with their job. Which leads to unhealthy lifestyles and far lower productivity than what could be achieved.
But by working to improve engagement, you won’t just see a happier group of employees. You’ll see huge gains in important areas such as:
SAFETY: 48% fewer incidents
QUALITY: 41% fewer defects
RETENTION: 25-65% less turnover
PRODUCTIVITY: 37% less absenteeism
PROFITABILITY: 147% earnings per share performance
But engagement doesn’t happen with that annual team building retreat. It’s the daily interactions that cultivate engagement. It’s a culture that focuses on care, trust, autonomy, and purpose that fosters engagement and satisfaction.
Organizational well-being and employee well-being are tightly linked. If the organization isn’t a great place to work – a place where employees feel supported and are happy to be – the organization’s well-being will suffer. As will your employees’ well-being.
There are three core goals that you need to cultivate to improve organizational well-being:
If you can build these three qualities, your employees will be happy, engaged, and productive, and your company will thrive.
Unengaged, unsafe, and unsatisfied employees cost your company in attrition, absenteeism, and productivity.
That’s why positioning of your wellness and safety programs as essential business strategies is truly vital to your business’ long term success.
The well-being of the organization is inextricably linked to the well-being and safety of your employees. We ensure that your wellness and safety programs include all of the essential dimensions to enhance engagement, performance, meaning and purpose, and well-being. As well as psychological, social, emotional, and physical safety. We partner with your leadership teams to ensure initiatives are a win-win for all.
