Elevating employee wellbeing by developing a strong learning culture‍

A recent McKinsey report sheds light on the critical shift from addressing burnout to promoting holistic health within organizations. We’re highlighting the key takeaways below.

Understanding holistic employee health

The landscape of employee wellbeing has expanded beyond traditional health measures. Today, wellbeing encompasses mental, emotional and physical health, underlining the need for a comprehensive approach.

• Holistic health includes mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
• Today’s employees demand more health support from their workplaces.
• The gap between current wellbeing offerings and employee needs is widening.

Cultivating a learning culture

A strong learning culture supports employee engagement and development. High-quality learning experiences can bridge the gap between current practices and the desired state of continuous growth.

• Traditional learning solutions often fail to meet employee expectations.
• Companies with intentional learning cultures engage and upskill employees.
• Live, interactive learning experiences are highly valued by employees.

Addressing the challenge of learning at scale

Implementing live learning programs at scale poses significant challenges for People leaders. Many bandwidth and budget constraints, including logistical challenges, can get in the way. Strategic live learning solutions can simplify the process of building a scaled-up learning culture.

• Scalability is a primary concern for People teams trying to develop a learning culture.
• Budget and resource constraints hinder the adoption of scaled, comprehensive programs.
• Employees seek quality learning experiences that are broad, accessible and impactful.

Additional insights about holistic wellbeing programs:

• Employee wellbeing directly influences engagement and productivity.
• A holistic approach to wellbeing can differentiate your company as an employer of choice.
• Continuous learning supports skill development, employee satisfaction and retention.

Here’s how People leaders can create a strong learning culture:

• Regularly survey employees to understand their wellbeing and learning preferences.
• Assess current wellbeing programs to identify gaps in holistic health support.
• Foster partnerships with providers, like Electives, who work with you to understand your organization's unique needs.
• Develop a learning strategy that incorporates holistic wellbeing and aligns with employee needs and organizational goals.
• Leverage technology to facilitate live learning sessions without overwhelming People team resources.
• Integrate individualized learning options like Electives Membership into your wellbeing strategy.
• Introduce regular "health and learning" check-ins or updates within the organization.
• Celebrate and share success stories of employees who benefit from your wellbeing and learning programs.
