What is Holistic Support?
Holistic support in the workplace goes beyond traditional performance management. It encompasses a comprehensive approach that addresses employees’ physical, emotional, and professional well-being. According to the O.C. Tanner Institute, there are six essential elements of a great workplace culture: purpose, opportunity, success, appreciation, well-being, and leadership. By integrating these elements into your workplace, you create an environment where employees feel motivated, engaged, and aligned with the company’s mission.
The Benefits of Holistic Support
The impact of holistic support is undeniable. The same study from O.C. Tanner shows that companies that invest in employee well-being and recognition see significant improvements in key areas:
- 19% increase in productivity
- 20% increase in teamwork
- 38% increase in employee retention
- 28% increase in innovation
- 89% job satisfaction among employees with excellent well-being
These statistics highlight the tangible benefits of creating a workplace where employees feel valued and supported. When employees are happy and engaged, they are more likely to contribute to the company’s success and stay committed for the long term.
Building Holistic Support: A 3-Step Process
At the heart of holistic support is meaningful communication between managers and team members. Here’s a simple 3-step process to foster these connections:
- Reflect
Before engaging in development conversations, managers should take time to reflect on their team members’ strengths, challenges, and goals. This preparation ensures that the conversation is aligned with both the employee’s and the company’s objectives. When employees feel that their managers understand and appreciate their strengths, they are more likely to feel engaged and energized by their work. - Collaborate
Collaboration is key to creating a performance plan that works for both the employee and the organization. During these conversations, employees should feel empowered to share their career aspirations and goals. Managers, in turn, can provide guidance and support to help employees achieve these objectives. This collaborative approach ensures that employees leave the conversation feeling motivated and ready to grow. - Review
Regular check-ins are essential to keep employees on track and address any obstacles they may face. These reviews allow managers and employees to celebrate successes, adjust goals, and identify areas for improvement. Employees who feel they are progressing in their careers are 20% more likely to stay with their company, making these check-ins a critical component of holistic support.
