Using Technology to Help Your Employees’ Wellbeing

Posted on July 24, 2019 by Aaron

Now that technology has been integrated into almost every layer of the modern workplace, many employees also expect these developments to benefit them. There are many ways that employers can harness their technical capabilities to support, accommodate and care for their staff. This trend is even more pronounced in industries that revolve around emerging technology and are in constant need of new qualified talent.

Wearable Devices

Personal health monitoring devices have become a popular addition to the modern workplace, particularly in conjunction with a fitness awareness initiative. Employers can encourage workers to participate in voluntary programs to monitor their health and wellness throughout the day. Some companies also incentivize a healthy lifestyle through challenges or competitions to engage their workforce. Just having these devices on helps employees be more mindful of their activity levels, which can have positive results on overall health.

Opportunities for Automation

Automation is a scary word in some occupations, but it can also be a tool that makes life easier and more productive for workers. Managers and company leaders should stay connected and observant to look for opportunities to improve workflow processes. Outdated scanners, printers and shredders are prime candidates for an automated upgrade to cut down on time spent performing mundane tasks.

Maximizing Value with Managed Services

Without a team of dedicated and experienced IT professionals, many businesses simply don’t have the expertise to maximize their computer and information systems. That’s why many companies turn to business managed solutions to address technical needs that their staff isn’t qualified to handle. Developing a relationship with professional service providers can provide more value for less investment than developing an internal department.

Data-Oriented Benefits Selection

Employers can also leverage the technology of data science to provide customized and optimized benefits packages to employees. Analyzing the potential for future health concerns based on personal information can help employees pick packages that cover their most likely expenses. Integration of health analytics into the benefits process also allows for more flexibility when choosing alternatives or modifications to an existing plan.

Technology is a powerful tool that can be used to fuel business growth as well as foster employee loyalty and engagement. Companies must learn how to use these tools to accomplish both goals if they want to maximize their growth potential and return on investment. To do this, business leaders need stay on top of new developments and consistently encourage innovation at all levels of their company.
