Human Resources Consulting

   Workplace Wellness it not just a concept or a program. It is a culture based on certain assumptions:

• The mind and the body are not only linked. They are the same thing.
• Wellness culture starts at the top. Good leaders give their followers permission to be authentic.
• Moods are contagious. Emotional Skills are important in determining the quality of work-life.
• People matter. If you chose good people, give them direction, meaningful work and genuinely care about them, they will be productive, and will create a workplace of choice, which increases shareholder value.
• No worker is meeting their full creative potential unless they can balance their work and life.

How do we accomplish this? 

• Organizational Cultural Assessments
• Health Risk Assessments
• Teaming Skills Training
• Employee Health Promotion
• Performance Management
• Disability Management

Organizational Culture is the backdrop that sets the stage for the work people do: it promotes or inhibits worker traits, performance and behaviors. Culture is based on the set of assumptions that we have about the way things are done and are reflected in the organization’s norms, values, written (and unwritten) rules, policies and procedures; and it is exemplified in how employees work and behave.

Why assess your culture? Because more than anything, if you don’t change the underlying beliefs about what it means to be successful in your business, no amount of planning will ever be able to change your situation. Research shows that healthy cultures promote worker health and safety, morale, job satisfaction, which in turn decreases health care costs, absenteeism, and turnover, and increases productivity, service, quality, and profit. Leaders and managers who identify and understand their culture and its impact on business performance are in a better position to make effective strategic interventions that promote organizational success.
