The Emojot Wellness Program: An Innovative Approach to Monitoring and Improving Employee Wellness

Introduction Employee wellness has become an increasingly important concern for companies and organizations worldwide. The well-being of employees not only impacts their individual health and happiness but also affects overall organizational performance. As a result, many organizations are implementing processes and tools designed to monitor and improve employee wellness. An Empowering Solution to Improve Employee Wellness  The Emojot Wellness Program is an innovative approach to monitoring and improving employee wellness. It involves sending weekly Emotion Sensors™ to employees that measure their stress level, fitness, and overall well-being. The Emotion Sensors™ are made up of straightforward, emoji-based questions allowing employees to promptly and effortlessly provide responses. One exceptional feature of this procedure is that employees can record their workout hours monthly, and the winner for each month is selected based on the number of hours logged. This incentivizes employees to prioritize their fitness and exercise more regularly, improving their fitness levels. In addition to monitoring fitness, the Emojot Wellness Program tracks employees’ stress levels. If an employee’s stress level is consistently high, an alert will be sent to the top management, allowing for timely intervention and support. Metrics Breakdown The organization analyzes wellness metrics by categorizing data by department to gain insights into each team’s well-being and identify potential areas of concern. The fitness challenge metrics are shared with the entire team on a monthly basis to motivate and engage employees, while stress management-related metrics are shared only with senior management, with personally identifiable information anonymized to protect employees’ privacy. This enables senior management to make informed decisions to support and empower their workforce. Stress management notifications are sent exclusively to trained HR personnel to ensure responsible handling of sensitive information and protect employee well-being.

5 Reasons Why Employee Engagement Surveys Need to be an Ongoing Process

While many organizations may realize the importance of employee engagement, it appears that they continue to achieve little in the way of improving it. In fact, a 2017 report released by Gallup shows that only 33% of U.S. employees feel engaged. If that isn’t bad enough, the worldwide engagement rate is even lower – a dismal 15%. So why is this so low? While there are many factors at play, one major contributing factor is that the surveys used to measure engagement are infrequent and often very generic. That being said, let’s look at five reasons why employee engagement surveys need to be a continuous process. 1. Progress Needs to be Monitored Gallup explains that “Many companies simply conduct an annual survey…but they don’t sufficiently follow up. This has never worked and will never work. It’s not what our most successful clients do.” In other words, checking up on engagement once a year may help measure annual milestones, but it doesn’t give employers a chance to see how engagement is evolving for the other 364 days. Consequently, employee engagement could plummet, and nobody will know that there’s a problem until a full year later. During that time, it’s safe to say that people will have left the organization or lowered their productivity. 2. Workforce Changes As older employees leave the workforce, members of the younger generation inevitably take over; however, different age groups have different needs. What may have kept someone in their 50s engaged isn’t necessarily going to work for a person in their 20s. Case in point, baby boomers valued loyalty and job security. It wasn’t uncommon – even expected – for these individuals to stay with a company for decades. Millennials, on the other hand, want a job that offers autonomy and flexibility for things like vacations. […]
