Your Liverpool office space might be winding down for Christmas, but for managers, you might be thinking less about the Christmas party and more about your resolutions to make your workplace better in the new year.
Well, 2018 promises some new trends in workplace initiatives reported by Irish News, so why not get on board early and see if you can achieve some measurable results.
Sit/stand desks
We’re constantly being told it’s not good for us to be sat down all day, so ergonomic convertible stand up desks have seen a great increase in sales. Giving the option, one way or another, is great – but when pushed, we doubt many employees would choose the stand up desk permanently for their workspace.
Digital detox
Brits, as a workforce, are overworked compared to their European friends, so ensuring your business champions taking a break from constantly being reachable is important for mental wellbeing and prevent digital burnout.
Financial wellness
Of course, a raise might be every employees dream Christmas present, however, investing in programmes to help workers manage their money could be just as effective. If employees find themselves in financial trouble, it will distract from their job, so having a helping hand in tackling financial woes could make for a more empowered workforce.
Healthy vending machines
Sometimes close at hand is the only option for a quick snack or lunch, but when that’s sweets and crisps, you’re doing your employee’s health no favours. New healthy vending companies are at hand to create an interesting new feature for your office which will help look after worker’s wellbeing.
