Employee Well-Being Begins with Work-Life Alignment: Putting Research into Practice
Tuesday, March 8, 2022 | 1:00 p.m. CT (2:00 p.m. ET)
The pandemic has prompted a heightened awareness of how difficult it can be for healthcare workers to juggle work, family and personal responsibilities on a daily basis. Today’s healthcare professional is expecting flexibility, hybrid work arrangements (in non-clinical positions), and leaders who show compassion for employee needs. And when those expectations are not met, workers are no longer hesitant to seek alternative employment.
In this webinar, we will provide you with the results of decades of work-family research conducted by leading social science researchers Dr. Ellen Ernst-Kossek and Dr. Leslie Hammer. According to their research findings, the direct manager plays the most critical role in an employee’s well-being. It also reveals that there is a 50% gap between managers’ views of their support of work-life alignment and their employees’ perception. More than company policies, yoga classes, or a supply of free healthy snacks, this research identifies the impact managers have on employees’ intent to turnover, job satisfaction and physical healthcare costs.
The presenters will unpack the four specific “supervisor supportive behaviors” that are key to improving work-life conflicts and obtaining stronger organizational outcomes and offer practical solutions to implement then in your organization. This session will also help you address the challenges in implementing flexibility in your workforce by sharing a model for true flexibility and how to best align work around five different work-life behavioral styles.
