Wellness in global mobility

It is well documented that a healthy, engaged and happy workforce is more productive, more loyal and more open to and able to manage change.

Most employers understand this and genuinely want to create the right environment for people to thrive in. Yet despite their great intentions, what they offer can fall short of the mark. In today’s complicated, fast paced and increasingly virtual world, the problem is exacerbated.

The situation can be even more complicated for those employees working in overseas locations given both the logistical complexities of staying connected across different time zones, as well as the impact of working in different cultures and languages. These individuals often have multiple stakeholders with conflicting priorities. Sometimes they can feel out of sight and out of mind – and perhaps not looked after by either the home or the host location.

How can you get a better handle on how they are feeling? How will you know if there is an intervention that needs to be made to prevent an assignment from failing?

As a starting point, in collaboration with our friends at FormScore, we can offer you access to their web-based tool that enables you to capture, in real time, how your team and your movers are feeling. Through an easy-to-use check-in tool, you can see how your people are doing in terms of wellbeing, effectiveness, and commitment. 

The tool allows you to gain real-time feedback on the day-to-day challenges that face someone working in an overseas location, as well as to cross reference the impact of specific company and world events on your people. The FormScore reports enable you to identify the factors impacting the wellbeing, effectiveness, and commitment of your people, before they become detrimental to performance.

Stepping back and considering the wellness of people in its widest context, we believe that wellness is a holistic concept, with interdependent facets of wellness as shown opposite. We also believe that each person’s wellness is individual – what works for one might not be the answer for another. So, we have developed a Complete Wellness programme that takes people on a journey - examining what wellness means to them individually, where they are now and where they want to get to. We help them set meaningful goals and offer coaching to help them reach those.

Our programme has the aim of preventing burn out and stress, enabling individuals to understand what they need to do to keep well, to build resilience and to recognise triggers.

We would love to chat to you about our Complete Wellness offering and how working with FormScore can get you started on the journey to helping your international movers cope with today’s world.
