Dr Shaun Davis for discussed how he stitches a variety of data together to create a company strategy that can be interpreted by workplaces in different countries. Shaun illustrated the importance of being flexible as a one size fits all approach doesn't work for an international company.
Some key takeaways from the session:
• Help people help themselves in a way that works for them.
• Communicate with different groups of people in a way that works for them on topics that are relevant.
• Listening to people's needs is integral to creating a wellbeing programme that adds value for employees.
• Over communication can create problems too, it's a balancing act of asking the right questions at the right time.
• Taking the formality out of conversations builds relationships and trust between employees.
• People are at the heart of wellbeing. Ask them what they want, don't give them what they get.
• As a wellbeing professional, networking and asking for feedback from others can be incredibly useful to find out if your strategy actually works. Don't mark your own homework!
• Be brave, try things, it's ok if it doesn't work - you're still making progress.
