This article explains the well-being measurement feature in Frontliners and why it benefits both employees and managers.
Researchers from CBS have discovered something interesting – people's well-being when they arrive at work often depends on things at home, and on bad days, they become HAPPIER from being at work. Good colleagues, busy shifts that make time fly, and the feeling of doing something meaningful can turn a bad day around.
Of course, it can also be the other way around, and there can be differences depending on the workday in terms of busyness, team composition, etc.
That's why this is an exciting area to study, as it allows us to illuminate that wellbeing is more nuanced than work always being the villain.
We know you're busy enough already. That's why we've made it simple - employees answer one question when they punch in and out. It takes 2 seconds.
What does it mean for you?
In the future, you may gain access to insights into patterns in your business related to job satisfaction, which you can use to strengthen it. For example, insights into which types of workdays and team compositions create better well-being for your employees. And get help from Frontliners to plan the best possible workdays with the highest benefit for both the business and the employee.
