Top 4 Workplace Wellbeing Trends Not To Miss in 2022

April 13, 2022 |

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. An important month when you consider that 51% of workers have reported that their mental health has deteriorated since the beginning of the pandemic. Despite the fact that companies are taking this more and more into account, the problem is still present and affects many workers. 

That’s why we wanted to shed some light on this topic and give you our top 4 solutions for workplace wellbeing in 2022. 

The current state of mental health in the workplace  

On the subject of mental health in the workplace, companies are constantly changing and evolving. Some businesses are already very up to date while others are just discovering the benefits of investing in their workforce over the long term. Here are some statistics every employer should know before trying to implement the right solutions👇🏼

•  1 employee out of 3 has experienced burnout over the past year (Lyra)

•  90% of employers are planning to invest more in mental health in 2022 than any year before (2022 Employee Wellness Trends

•  49 percent, however, had not formally articulated a well-being strategy for their workforce (Wellbeing Diagnostic Survey, 2021

How companies can support Mental Health 

In light of these statistics, here are the top 4 practices to implement if you want to successfully design a wellness strategy for your organization this year. 

1. Talk about mental health regularly to help break down misconceptions around it.

Talking and asking your employees about the subject is a first step in raising awareness. This will allow you to better understand their needs and expectations and thus be able to understand what would be best to implement in your company.

2. Allow flexibility 

With a growing trend toward returning to the office, companies will need to pay attention to the flexibility that employees used to have, such as working from home. In fact, 69% of employees said that flexible work policies are “very important” to them. Taking this into account when implementing solutions will be crucial. 

3. Actively encourage breaks from work (5-minute meditations, walking, power nap,…)

Encouraging your employees to take real breaks is essential. Motivate them to move, take care of themselves, spend time away from their screens, etc.  Show that you care by leading by example.

4. Offer social activities to help team members connect (virtual, or in-person)

A study published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Review indicates that people who feel more connected with their coworkers are healthier and happier and less likely to burn out. Investing in solutions that bring employees together, virtually or otherwise, is a key to improving mental health in the workplace.
