What's Climate Action got to do with Employee Engagement?
Written by: Paula Antalffy | 2-3 minute read
A higher level of employee engagement means better performing teams, better productivity, and ultimately increased profitability, so we all know that employee engagement is high on every agenda.
If you’re an employee, working in an environment where you feel engaged means you’re more likely to feel valued, to apply yourself and do your best work, and to provide the kind of excellent customer service that’s likely to build strong customer relationships.
The challenge though, is how do we prioritise and improve employee engagement, whilst at the same time prioritising all of the other needs of the business and its people - like wellbeing and sustainability, for example.
Our belief at MyDay is that engagement isn’t a problem to be solved in isolation, but one that’s best tackled using an holistic, multi-faceted approach.
Most people management solutions seek to solve one problem at a time - an app for wellbeing, a forum for preventative health, an intranet to build community, workshops to instil culture…
What if all of these things were brought together in one platform - a platform that leveraged the best of tech to create an engaging, employee-led experience.
And because our ultimate goal at MyDay is to bring the climate agenda to the forefront of everyone’s mind by linking it to our everyday habits, app users not only feel more engaged, more connected and, better able to manage their own wellbeing, but they also collect carbon credits as they go about their day-to-day life in the app.
With the climate crisis at the forefront of everybody’s minds right now - and climate anxiety on the rise - committing to tangible daily climate action through these small everyday habits benefits the planet of course, but will also have a positive impact on the engagement, satisfaction and productivity of your people too.
Here’s how.
Employees use MyDay daily to:
Track steps and log their daily physical activities
Engage with co-workers in a social media-style feed
Give and receive kudos to colleagues in recognition of performance & achievements
Access employee data like leave schedules
Manage and improve daily wellbeing practices
Access clinically moderated support groups
Access physical & mental health resources & support
Earn MyDay Planet Points for positive wellbeing, engagement & culture activities in the app
The result?
Our goal is that employee engagement, wellbeing and culture enjoys a measurable improvement - measurable using aggregated, anonymised app data - whilst at the same time, Planet Points accumulated contribute to your business’ net zero goals.
By bringing all of these important areas of people management, wellbeing and sustainability together under one roof, we’re addressing several areas of huge social significance that we know will add massive value to your company, your people, and the planet.
