Welcome back to the workplace well-being series! In our previous discussion, we explored the Surgeon General's Workplace Wellbeing Framework and its significance in fostering healthier work environments. Today, we're delving into the first foundational element of this framework: "Protection from Harm."
At its core, "Protection from Harm" entails establishing an environment where individuals feel secure both physically and emotionally. It's about safeguarding employees from any form of harm or threat, thereby fostering a culture of trust and well-being.
Creating a workplace where safety is paramount not only enhances employee morale but also contributes to increased productivity and retention rates. When employees feel safe and supported, they're more likely to be engaged and motivated, leading to a positive work environment.
