As a business owner, you personally could be against change related to implementing a workplace-wellness-program, and your employees may be seriously against change as well. Let's face it, not many people like change. However, i want to explain to you an experience that I had in a certain region of the world (I'm not going to name that place) however you know it's very difficult. I was on my own as a consultant advising senior high level personnel, and ultimately there were many many stakeholders involved, so change from the top all the way down the chain to the bottom - the person at the bottom is ultimately the employee. There was a lot of friction along the way, so it was an uphill battle but I / we collectively had a lot of success. It took a lot of immersion, integration, teamwork and trust because we had to get the backing from leadership. If leadership was against change then that struggle was even more amplified to get the end goal so we had many many uphill battles and that's sometimes what you need for success - it's not always going to be clear-cut. Workplace wellness programs are not off the shelf, and they have to relate to the internal culture AND the external culture as well. You have to bear in mind the environment your'e working in AND the internal environment of the mind of every single participant that you wish to implement the plan for. You have to notice that at all levels there's so many different types of leadership as well - all the way to the top. Similarly, even if you've got the the say so, the go-ahead from the top level (which fortunately we did out there - from most levels) there it's still a struggle with implementation. It's so easy to say yes the top leadership want this change, but in reality, as you start filtering that information down you will still come up against barriers but we always managed to get success in the end. So if you're a business owner let us know ''if you've tried to implement a program before?'' ''What experiences you've had with wellness?'' and let us know ''How do you perceive your workplace culture to be at this moment in time?'' ''Have you done a needs analysis, if so is there a big gap between what you want as the business owner and what the employees want?'' ''Have you done that analysis?'' LAMBERT Wellbeing can do that for your company, but ultimately these videos are to give you pointers in how you can implement changes and the struggles you may come up against. This video was recorded to specifically share with you about culture change, so to summarise change is one thing, culture is another...and to combine the two there may be problems along the way. Success is possible, but with a lot of chipping away but success can be found. There are so many workplace wellness programs out there that try and implement culture change, without really realising that culture change is two separate things changes. So if you've tried to implement a workplace wellness program before, this may have been the problem. Ultimately the way you make changes has to complement your business, and also the employees themselves. If you can interact with us, and let us know if you've tried anything before that would be great, and we can communicate with you in the comments below or on any of our platforms at LAMBERT Wellbeing. We look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck.
