Well-Being in the Workplace

Nowadays, organizations are emphasizing the importance of promoting employee well-being. When companies construct an environment that encourages well-being, it betters the employee’s quality of life while enhancing employee performance, improving the company culture, and impacting the company’s bottom line [1].

To better understand how to promote well-being in the workplace, companies can refer to theories of employee motivation. One of the most well-known theories is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which posits [2] that individual needs can be laid out in a pyramid, ranging from basic physiological needs like shelter and food to self-actualization. Maslow defined self-actualization as the state in which people realize their full potential and fulfill their personal goals and aspirations; in other words, at self-actualization, a person realizes their full potential.

Organizations looking to improve their team member’s well-being can use this theory as a guide for cultivating a healthy work environment. Basic needs can be met by ensuring that all employees have a secure and comfortable work environment, while psychological needs can be fulfilled by establishing a supportive company culture. The need for belonging can be satisfied by creating inclusive and well-rounded [3] teams. Companies can implement performance evaluation systems to acknowledge achievements that can meet the esteem needs. Lastly, encouraging employees to tackle new challenges and grow within the company can allow them to reach self-actualization.

Promoting well-being cannot simply be a one-off [4] measure, rather organizations must commit to providing employees with an environment where they feel appreciated, motivated, and respected. This allows for a win-win situation where the team members and the company can succeed.

직장에서의 웰빙

요즘 회사들은 임직원 “웰빙”의 중요성을 강조하고 있습니다. 기업이 직원의 웰빙을 장려하는 환경을 구축하면 직원들의 삶의 질이 향상되는 동시에 직원들의 실적이 좋아지고 회사 문화가 개선되며 회사의 수익성에도 영향을 미칩니다.

직장에서 웰빙을 증진하는 방법을 더 잘 이해하기 위해 기업은 직원 동기 부여 이론들을 참고할 수 있습니다. 가장 잘 알려진 이론 중 하나는 매슬로우의 욕구 단계설로, 이는 개인의 욕구를 맨아래 주거 및 음식과 같은 기본적인 생리적 욕구부터 맨위 자아실현에 이르기까지 피라미드 형태로 나타냅니다. 매슬로우는 자아실현을 사람들이 자신의 잠재력을 최대한 실현하고 개인적인 목표와 열망을 성취하는 상태라고 정의했습니다. 다시 말해, 자아실현 상태에서 한 개인은 자신의 잠재력을 최고로 실현합니다.

팀원의 웰빙을 증진하고자 하는 조직은 이 이론을 건강한 업무 환경을 조성하기 위한 지침으로 활용할 수 있습니다. 모든 직원에게 안전하고 편안한 업무 환경을 제공함으로써 그들의 기본적인 욕구를 충족시킬 수 있는 반면, 서로를 지원하는 회사 문화를 구축함으로써 심리적 욕구를 충족시킬 수 있습니다. 소속감에 대한 욕구는 포용적이고 전체적으로 균형이 잡힌 팀을 만들어 충족시킬 수 있습니다. 기업이 성과 평가 시스템을 도입하여 개인의 업적을 인정해주면 이는 자아 존중 욕구를 충족시킬 수 있습니다. 마지막으로 직원들이 회사 내에서 새로운 도전에 맞부딪치고 성장하도록 장려하면 직원들은 자아실현을 이룰 수 있습니다.

웰빙의 증진은 단순히 일회성 조치로 끝날 수 없으며, 조직은 직원들이 인정받고 동기를 부여받고 존중받는 환경을 제공하는 데 지속적으로 노력해야 합니다. 이를 통해 팀원과 회사가 모두 성공할 수 있는 “양쪽에 다 이득이 되는” 상황을 만들 수 있습니다.
