Resources to support the wellbeing of your staff

There’s no doubt that 2020 was an unprecedented year for workplace wellbeing and, as the pandemic continues, the health and happiness of employees will continue to remain a focus for many HR teams in 2021.

Westfield Health‘s 2020 wellbeing roundup report highlighted some of the year’s health and wellbeing search trends, including:

• ‘Covid-safe’ – searches for these terms continued to grow, implying a level of anxiety amongst those going into work and showing the duty of cre from employers in making their workplaces safe

• ‘Home workout’ – searches peaked during the first lockdown. As restrictions continue, physical fitness remains as important as ever, especially through the colder months

• ‘Ways to motivate staff’ – with many employees continuing to work in less than ideal conditions, this dilemma will continue this year

• ‘Mental Health First Aid online course’ – interest increased by over 800% during the summer and remains higher than pre-pandemic levels
