Mental health has become more relevant over the years. In the Laboral scene, Emotional well-being is one of the main challenges that companies face since they must respond to the new needs of employees.
In this sense, there is still a long way to go since, generally, corporate wellness programs involve financial and physical aspects, rather than emotional ones. In fact, in accordance with “The 2023 Human Resources Trends Study”prepared by Sodexo Benefits and Incentives, only 12% of Spanish companies have emotional well-being programs for their employees despite the fact that for workers it is a determining factor in their work. This percentage varies if we take into account the number of employees of the company, it drops to 2.8% in those with less than 50 employees, increases to 17.6% in companies with 51-250 employees and stands at 20 % in those with more than 250,
The same study reflects that The main reason why more than half of employees are dissatisfied with their benefit plans is because they consider them insufficient. Therefore, companies must improve their corporate well-being models by adding aspects related to emotional and psychological well-being, which, in essence, are the implementation of measures that contribute to taking care of the mental health of workers and help reduce stress.
And an adequate level of emotional well-being in people translates into a pleasant work environment as well as happy and productive employees. Therefore, Companies must work to create a professional environment with programs that promote this aspect. Many of them are already considering it, in fact, according to data from the same study, Emotional well-being programs are the third benefit that companies that currently do not have a benefits program for their employees will incorporate the most with 23.1%the same percentage as other historically more popular benefits such as the transportation card or the contribution to the pension plan.
To mention some examples of how to incorporate these programs into the day-to-day life of the company, it is possible to offer psychological assistance that involves professional advice that goes hand in hand with employees at different stages of their working life. The Programs of well-being corporate can help enhance emotional intelligence and stress management through dialogue and exercises. For their part, the conciliation policies can help reduce work stress by allowing a balance between the employee’s personal and family life, while flexible remuneration It offers useful services for everyday life, at a lower cost than if it were contracted individually.
“Promoting the emotional well-being of employees should be one of the main objectives of companies, since having healthy work environments is essential for workers to be motivated and committed to their company. At Sodexo we support companies that wish to implement programs and benefits to promote and give visibility to emotional well-being.” declare Miriam Martín, Director of Marketing and Communication at Sodexo Benefits and Incentives.
