What role or responsibility do employers have when it comes to employee wellbeing?
Dr. Diane Dye, EdD, MCM, an expert in helping organizations solve existing people operations and performance problems, while building stronger systems to prevent future risks, is back this week, and we’re tackling the intersections of employee wellbeing and organizational risk management.
Dr. Dye explains that effective risk management requires leaders to embrace humility, move beyond ego, and create environments where employees can safely disclose personal challenges. Her fresh perspective shows how supporting employee wellbeing isn't just compassionate, it directly impacts the bottom line by reducing turnover costs and operational disruptions.
In this Episode:
🎧Successful organizations must develop robust risk frameworks to navigate increasing uncertainty – as with other key points throughout history, "it's evolve or die"
🎧True leadership requires balancing visionary thinking with practical risk assessment, creating contingency plans before emergencies arise
🎧Organizations often overlook "thought capital" – the knowledge and skills that leave when employees depart, creating significant operational risks
🎧Supporting employees through personal challenges (caregiving responsibilities, hidden disabilities, domestic situations) isn't just compassionate, it directly impacts performance and retention
🎧Effective accommodations can actually improve compartmentalization between work and home life, increasing loyalty and productivity
🎧Role clarity and defined success metrics are essential for employee performance; organizations often create their own risks by changing expectations after hiring
🎧Replacing skilled employees can cost up to three times their salary, making thoughtful accommodation strategies financially sound as well as ethically responsible
