1. Understand me

Let’s face it. One size just doesn’t fit all. One person’s stress might be fuelled by
finding it hard to say no. Another person’s might be more about feeling under-valued. Individually tailored programmes are essential.

2. Make it a treat

It’s time to banish boring! And while we’re at it, let’s give everyone a choice. Allow employees to pick from a number of programmes, so they can decide if they’d rather tackle Work Life Balance or Emotional Intelligence. Smoking Cessation or Leadership. Keep it short and engaging so they want more.

3. Be active

The beauty of digital is that people are engaging with it out there in the big wide world. So make sure your digital wellbeing and development programmes are too. Forget pages of learning or endless modules on a PC. Give them micro-behaviours on their mobiles, that they apply in their working lives. We call it ‘Active Wellbeing.’

If you want to help people make changes, you have to break existing habits. So interact at different times. Mix it up. Target different behaviours. Challenge them to push their comfort zone. Make it personal. We achieve the best results when people feel that they have got a real insight into their own behaviours.

5. Help me belong

They might be learning remotely, but they don’t want to feel alone. Give them somewhere online they can meet and chat with others. Where they can upload photos. Have conversations. It may be digital, but let’s make sure, that above all else, it’s human.
