- Creating a Wellbeing Plan from the Survey results
- Supporting the Wellbeing Initiative
- Have the plan led by Management (from the top down)
- Look at your absenteeism rates and see if there is a link to supporting wellbeing
- Look at your employee’s presentism (are they performing well at work as opposed to showing up?)
