Helping you and your team build a great place to work.
If we’ve learned anything over the past year, it’s that building healthy workplaces isn’t a nice to have. It’s a necessity.
We’ve all experienced an increase in uncertainty and rapid changes to what working means, both remotely and in-person.
At YMCA WorkWell we work with you to help:
- Build a workplace culture of well-being
- Make data-driven people decisions
- Develop your managers and teams
Our New Reality
The findings from our 2020 Insights to Impact Report emphasized an overall decrease in employee health, mental health, and overall well-being. Increased stress and uncertainty, especially in the midst of a global pandemic, saw our communities in already over-burdened states. Our first Special Issue Survey dug deep into the new realities of living and working through a global pandemic. And while not unexpected, the findings are startling.
Your staff teams need you, now more than ever. They’re looking for connection, clear expectations, and tactical steps in improving their well-being. The good news? We have concrete steps to help you meet your teams where they are, and work with them to build the conditions they need to thrive.
Insight + Action = Impact
All teams are different, which means there isn’t a one-size-fits-all (heck, there’s not even a one-size-fits-most) approach to building healthy workplace environments. Which is why we start all our projects helping you measure where your team is at.
Our Insights Survey provides us a baseline view as to where your teams are thriving, and where they need the most support. We then provide specific, actionable steps geared to helping you gain quick, lasting wins that begin to improve workplace well-being.
Over time, our Insights Survey continues to measure your team in the areas of engagement, culture, well-being and performance, allowing us to help you maximize your efforts. The result? Healthier, happier, and thriving teams.
Are you ready to build a great place for your teams to work?
