Building on common values, and nurturing the wellbeing of your people is the best way of creating a working environment where people will really love to work.
Many leaders are asking themselves if they could be doing more to take care of their people and retain talent.
The isolation of homeworking has probably changed the behaviour and attitudes of our workforce forever. And as we all establish an embrace our new hybrid-working world, showing people they are appreciated by doing all we can to keep them psychologically safety is fast becoming the top agenda item for the best kinds of organisations.
If you are reviewing your talent retention strategy and would like to talk to Orbit, we can help. Orbit Culture Programmes are designed to enhance engagement, resilience and wellbeing.
Mental health has suffered for many throughout the pandemic for all sorts of reasons, including the pressures of the changes in the way we work. And although for decades the workplace has taken physical health and safety seriously, it is only in the last decade that psychological safety has started to become officially recognised as a priority.
Just as with physical health and safety, there is an educational piece to be done in terms of sharing knowledge with staff on how to keep themselves mentally healthy. There is also a piece of work to be done to equip managers so they can confidently support workers who are struggling with mental health issues and anxiety. Then there is a duty-of-care, in terms of signposting and recognising where an employer’s responsibility ends and where a professional needs to be asked to step in.
Orbit is working with a number of organisations to develop bespoke culture and wellbeing programmes so that nurturing your people’s mental wellbeing becomes as natural as ensuring your people’s physical safety already is. If you want to shift your mental wellbeing strategy from a simple list of activities you offer/carry out, to a real business-as-usual cultural ethos – then talk to Orbit today.

What our clients are saying
“Current numbers show volume sales for Consumer Finance will be up by at least 20% by for the financial year.

“Gill has been acting as my coach for the past 6 months since my promotion to the CEO role. This step-up has happened at a time of significant change and challenge for the organisation. She has been instrumental in my development of a stronger and authentic ‘voice’ to better manage the diversity of my stakeholder community, be that internal, my Board or the broader, external market. Between our face-to-face sessions, Gill is always available to offer advice and support, and regularly sends over articles, models and insights to further my leadership and strategic development.”
“We wanted something tailored to really help those Senior Managers step up to that next level, as we are very keen to promote fantastic talent from within. Orbit took the time to understand Alpha, what we stand for, our core values and what drives us as a business. This has been absolutely key to tailoring the programme, and the great results we have seen.”
