More and more businesses and other organizations are implementing employee wellness and wellbeing initiatives. Why? Because they enhance workforce productivity, strengthen the organization’s bottom line and maximise stakeholder value, while also attracting and retaining the best possible talent (for more, read the ‘Related Articles’ below, or visit ConnectedApart’s Business Center). Happy, healthy employees are more effective and deliver greater results. Its not rocket science.
While official travel might sound like a glamorous bonus to some, for frequent travellers and deployed personnel, it’s often not. Instead, official travel can fast become a considerable source of personal anguish and job dissatisfaction. In turn, on-the-job performance suffers and results decline. While, as one study highlights (read more), there are a number of contributing factors, for a vast majority of these hard working, dedicated professionals, one of the largest stressors is trying to keep in touch with family, in particular the children they love. So much so that before the business objective, the mission or the trip, staying connected with the children they love becomes the primary consideration of travelling or deployed personnel.
Its not hard to understand, then, that helping travelling or deployed personnel stay connected with the children they love is good for business. But don’t take ConnectedApart’s word for it: the research is out – it really does work! As one study recently noted, “children help to emotionally sustain employees while on business trips” (read more). In layman’s terms, staying connected to the children they love makes travelling or deployed personnel happier and, as noted above with respect to health and wellness programmes above, happy, healthy employees are more effective and deliver greater results.
