- 2.28pm - Involving staff in picking charity partners: engagement and caring?
@LilMsB86 @MT_editorial Totally agree we asked our employees to vote on our new charity partners, 1 national and 1 local #healthybiz- @LilMsB86 @MT_editorial By allowing them to be involved helps them become engaged with the partners.#healthybiz
- 2.26pm - Employers need to find of ways of working to suit all generations, says Isabelle Minneci of L'Oreal Paris UK >>> http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/unumtable …
- 2.23pm - Aaarrrrgh
@MT_editorial great example of how @AskUnum look after their employees: enterting a team in our Dragon Boat Festival pic.twitter.com/C9bnt2nblB- 2.21pm - Employees need skills to be resilient, not complain like kids says Claire Genkai-Breeze, a business behaviour researcher. Harsh but fair? Should employers be helping teach those skills? http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/unumvideos …
- 2.19pm - If you want to engage your employees, you need to treat them as human beings not human resources says David MacLeod of Engage4Success. Watch this video >> http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/unumtable …
Does your company treat its employees as just human resources? Here at MT we're not fans of being another cog in a big machine - 2.16pm - 'Employee engagement' - just another management fad?
Employee engagement is just a management fad says @UniofBath professor @Rob_Briner http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/unumvideos Do you disagree? #healthybiz
@MT_editorial @UniofBath @Rob_Briner We disagree with that one. Employee engagement = better retention and productivity #healthybiz- 2.15pm - Employee wellbeing is now sitting at the top of many boardroom agendas, reckons Unum CEO Peter O’Donnell. Watch this video http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/unumtable … Does employee wellbeing get that kind of priority in your company?
- 2.13pm - Lots of love for flexible working here
@MT_editorial flexibility motivates me. Being trusted enough to have the freedom to create a work/life balance.
@MT_editorial flexitime would be great! #healthybiz
- 2.07pm - A good Employee Assist Programme could help you with stress, but also selling a house and even relationship advice, says Tim Jackson of Unum. A usage rate of 2% is good though - what can be done to increase awareness and encourage people to use them before problems get too much?
- 2.01pm - In our MT survey, conducted in association with Unum, a whopping two thirds of our readers told us that they believe responsibility for their wellbeing (and presumably stress levels) lies with their employer. Is that how you feel? http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/go/unumsurveyresults …
- 1.58pm - Is stress inevitable in the workplace? Can companies help?
Stress is always a factor in modern workplaces. But not a problem if cleverly dissipated. @MT_editorial @AskUnum @MarcoForato #healthybiz
@MT_editorial agree 100%.. i think for me it comes down to treating people like you would like to be treated, and not "just an employee"
@laird_nick @MT_editorial @MarcoForato Employers can encourage staff to take proper breaks, get away from desks at lunch to re-energise.
@JamesHeath9 With 1 in 6 workers suffering #mentalhealth in the workplace EAPs should be utilised more - 30% only in uk #healthybiz- 1.56pm - Employees want to feel empowered by their company
