Considering decision support, educational, different motivational types, team building tools across each of the key dimensions for applying this program. For example, for emotional well-being programs, consider decision support tools to help employees find the right behavioral health provider or treatment facilities. Employees are looking for more than financial incentives when it comes to participating in employer-sponsored health screenings or savings vehicles.

Four dimensions of integrated well-being We believe an integrated approach that encompasses four dimensions of employee well-being – physical, financial, emotional, and social – is the key to creating greater employee engagement. 1. Physical well-being: To thrive physically means understanding and managing one’s health, taking appropriate preventive measures, improving health status where needed, managing chronic conditions, navigating, and recovering from an acute illness or unexpected stressful event, and successfully returning to peak functionality at home and at work. 2. Emotional well-being: Being emotionally balanced means being self-aware, maintaining good mental health, being resilient by managing stress, coping with positive and negative emotional triggers, dealing with life crises, and maintaining stability through illness 3. Financial well-being: Achieving the state of being financially secure means having the ability to manage budgetary commitments, meet financial goals, protect against risks, save for contingencies or future needs like college or retirement and cope with financial shocks. 4. Social well-being: Social employee well-being is about being connected by understanding how to interact well with others, accepting diversity, being inclusive, knowing how to support and collaborate with others, being able to successfully resolve conflicts and adapting to change. Being connected applies across one’s family and friends, one’s workplace and the larger community. Each dimension is unique and intertwined with the others. Integrated well-being begins with individuals and, when achieved, extends throughout their company, families, and the larger community. As a result, the ideal state of well-being â?¯ physically thriving, emotionally balanced, financially secure, and socially connected â?¯ places the employee at the company and is truly integrated across all four dimensions.
