Are your employees heading towards burnout?

The signs of burnout can creep up very quickly in employees when their physical, mental and emotional strengths are reaching close to exhaustion.

However, the effects of employee burnout are not just limited to their personal welfare alone. It can lead to significant complications like lower productivity levels, higher absenteeism rate, reduced employee engagement and increased employee turnover.

As part of the Human Resources or leadership team, you’ll know that staff burnout often results in additional costs – financial, reputational and cultural – for your business, too.

Recognising the early signs and risk factors of employee burnout can help you prevent these serious issues from occurring. After all – prevention is better than cure.

Fortunately, there are innovative tools like VibeCatch’s employee engagement QWL (Quality Work Life) Polls that can provide your organisation with relevant insights in addressing employee burnout before they happen.

5 Reasons Why HR Needs To Invest In Employee Pulse Surveys

Work has been challenging for everyone lately.

In particular, employees are having to bear the responsibility of producing consistent results despite the unprecedented turbulence and recent disruptions.

As part of a company’s HR or Management team, you have to check in on them more frequently to assess:

their overall welfare and mental health
if they feel sufficiently supported across all aspects of their job and
if they have the means to succeed, despite working remotely or under unusual conditions.

Most businesses have been doing this through lengthy surveys. Unfortunately, these tend to not be very effective in resolving employee engagement issues.

To bridge this gap between survey results and employee engagement, more companies are now investing in pulse surveys. Here’s what you need to know about pulse surveys and how they can address your business’ needs.

QWL: The Best Way To Conduct Employee Engagement Surveys

Employee engagement surveys, as discussed in our previous blog, have an important role in collating and understanding your team’s levels of motivation, involvement and satisfaction towards your company and the work they do.

Most of the time, employee engagement surveys are conducted through generic ready made pulse surveys that can include an option of creating your own questions.

While this is the default option, a Quality of Work Life (QWL) engagement survey offers a much higher and more useful level of insight.

Here’s why conducting a QWL engagement survey can help your business in many ways by learning more about your staff.

7 Best Practices For Conducting Employee Engagement Surveys

Hiring great people is one thing. However, to achieve growth and success, the key lies in retaining them over the longer term.

How things be different for your business in the ‘new normal’ of 2020

In the past few weeks, we’ve witnessed the impact of COVID-19 on the global workforce.

An estimated 2.7 billion employees globally have shifted to working remotely due to lockdowns and social distancing measures. There were also unfortunate cases of layoffs because some businesses were forced to close.

As every organisation struggled to survive during the crisis, the Human Resources (HR) stood on the frontlines, guiding employees, adapting policies and improving systems to ensure that the productivity of operations and workers remained.

However, things are beginning to normalise again.

Now that businesses are dealing with the aftermath of the pandemic, everyone from managers to staff members are having to face the “New Normal” work setting.

This means the HR team will once again play an important role in assisting employees and implementing new processes.

To help, here are a few changes to your business post-COVID and the ways you can provide support in the new era of 2020.
