Keeping people motivated involves regular updates, reminders, and incentives through the app. Roundglass Living can send motivational prompts, celebrate milestones, and provide rewards for consistent participation and achievement in wellbeing activities. This helps build lasting habits that contribute to overall health and productivity.

Visibility with employees: HR and leadership should regularly engage with employees, not just in meetings but in wellbeing-related activities. 

Encourage wellbeing champions: Identify champions to help maintain energy and enthusiasm around wellbeing initiatives while driving participation and fostering a culture of health.

Reward and empower employees: When people have autonomy over their wellbeing journey, they’re more likely to stay engaged.

Address executive loneliness: Loneliness is a common issue at the executive level. HR leaders should focus on creating support systems for senior staff to ensure their wellbeing is addressed, just like for any other employee.  

Integrating wellbeing requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and social needs of employees. Here are a few ways organizations can do this:

Healthy food options: Providing balanced meals and snacks can have a significant impact on overall employee wellbeing and productivity.

Meditation rooms and gyms: Designate areas for physical and mental rejuvenation, such as meditation rooms to practice mindfulness and a gym for physical exercise.

Safe spaces for conversations: Create a safe place for employees to talk, vent, or seek support from mentors or coaches.

Encourage autonomy for breaks: Allow breaks for quick refreshment and rejuvenation. Simple practices like stretching or deep breathing can significantly enhance clarity and reduce stress.

Utilize Roundglass Living: Promote the use of our app which can provide structured guidance for employees to incorporate mental health breaks into their routines.

Background music: Play frequency-based music in the background to help improve brain health and create a calming atmosphere.

Meditations before meeting: Introduce brief meditation sessions before meetings to help employees center themselves and reduce anxiety.

Offer stress-reducing foods: Provide access to foods and beverages that can lower stress, such as herbal teas and nutrient-rich snacks. 

Foster a positive view: When employees understand that self-care supports and improves performance, they are more likely to prioritize it without guilt.  

Promote preventative practices: Highlight that self-care practices build stamina and resilience, serving as preventative measures rather than curative ones. 

Create comfortable spaces: Design the office with various areas for relaxation and focus, such as quiet rooms, break areas, and outdoor spaces. These environments allow employees to recharge and foster a sense of wellbeing. 

Normalize self-care: Encourage open discussions about self-care practices among staff and leadership. When management shares their self-care routines, it sets a tone that taking care of oneself is not only vital but supported.  

Work-life balance directly impacts an individual's overall sense of fulfillment and wellbeing.  By definition, work-life balance involves the minimization of work-related stress, and the establishing of a stable and sustainable way to work while maintaining health and general wellbeing.

The key to achieving work-life balance is not just what you do while you’re working (i.e., doing meaningful work, finding purpose in your work, feeling like what you do matters, and that you make a positive contribution), but what you do outside of work, as well. In other words, finding fulfillment in hobbies and having go-to methods for restoration are equally important to striking a healthy balance.   

Organizations can create inclusive wellbeing programs by recognizing that employees have unique needs and preferences. Here are some strategies to effectively tailor these programs: 

Open platform for goal setting: Providing an open platform for employees to select their wellbeing goals is essential. This approach acknowledges that everyone starts at a different point in their journey. Allowing employees to choose their objectives empowers them.

Individualized wellbeing preferences: Employees should be encouraged to express what they look for in wellbeing practices. By gathering input from employees, organizations can better align their programs with the needs of the workforce.  

Incorporate all five aspects of wellbeing:  

1. Physical wellbeing: Promoting exercise, nutrition, and preventive health measures.  
2. Mental wellbeing: Offering resources for stress management, cognitive health, and mental resilience.  
3. Emotional wellbeing: Providing mental health resources, meditation and mindfulness sessions, counseling services, and support for emotional regulation. 
4. Social wellbeing: Fostering community through team-building activities, team challenges, social events, and mentorship programs.  
5. Spiritual wellbeing: Offering opportunities for reflection, meditation, and personal growth.  

Time constraints: One of the most significant barriers is lack of time. The Roundglass Living app allows people to participate in wellbeing programs when it fits their schedules, with short but impactful practices, making it easier for them to incorporate wellbeing into their daily routines.  

Individual body clocks: People have varying body clocks and personal schedules, which means not everyone can engage in activities at the same time. At Roundglass Living, we offer a platform that enables people to tune into their personalized wellbeing programs at their convenience, empowering them to choose the timing that best suits their individual needs.  

Cultivating a culture of wellbeing: We don’t believe that wellbeing is something that starts and ends in the workplace. By encouraging healthy habits both at work and at home, organizations send a clear message that they value the overall wellbeing of their employees.   

Providing resources and tools: Organizations can offer resources such as the Roundglass Living app to help employees develop healthy habits outside of work. By providing access to tools that focus on nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and stress management, employers empower employees to take charge of their wellbeing.

Effective communication and listening skills: By fostering an environment where communication is prioritized, companies can enhance collaboration and create a culture of openness.  

Empathy as a core value: When employees practice empathy, they gain deeper insights into their colleagues’ perspectives and experiences. 

Connect with the self and others: These connections are foundational for building meaningful relationships with others, ultimately fostering a deeper sense of community in the workplace.  

Employee development as a collective effort: Recognizing that we all have a part to play in each other's development is crucial. This collective growth contributes to individual performance and overall organizational success.  

Understanding unique challenges: Remote and hybrid work arrangements can create feelings of isolation and disconnection among employees. Recognizing these challenges is the first step in developing an inclusive wellbeing program that addresses the diverse needs of the workforce.  

Structured engagement programs: To foster participation and commitment, we’ve created structured engagement programs that encourage employees to focus on specific wellbeing activities for 21 to 30 days. This time frame allows individuals to develop new habits and integrate wellbeing practices into their daily routines, creating a sense of continuity and support.  

Food equals mood: The saying "you are what you eat" should maybe be changed to “you feel what you eat.” Nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins maintain energy levels and support cognitive function.  

Avoiding processed foods: Employers should strive to limit the availability of processed foods, as these have been linked to negative emotions and increased depression. Educating employees about the importance of whole foods can empower them to make healthier choices.  

Beverage options: Incorporating options like teas, herbal infusions, and smoothies into workplace offerings can further enhance employee wellbeing. These beverages can be beneficial for hydration while providing additional nutrients that support overall health. 

Physical activity and endorphins: Regular physical activity is linked to the release of endorphins, often referred to as "feel-good" hormones. Studies show that exercise can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression while improving mood and overall wellbeing. 

Integrating nutrition and movement: To create a comprehensive framework for Wholistic Wellbeing, we have aligned nutrition, breathwork, and movement into every goal in the Roundglass Living app.   

Gym facilities: Providing access to a gym or fitness facilities on-site can significantly enhance employee engagement in physical activity. If an on-site gym is not feasible, employers can consider subsidizing gym memberships or offering fitness classes to promote an active lifestyle.  

Absenteeism: Frequent absences or tardiness can indicate that an employee is struggling.  

Lack of motivation: A noticeable decrease in motivation or enthusiasm may signal that an employee is feeling overwhelmed or unwell.  

Decreased ownership and responsibility: If an employee begins to show a lack of accountability for their work or stops taking initiative, this could be a sign of underlying issues.   

Possible HR responses:  

Communication: Regular check-ins and open lines of communication are essential.

Performance improvement plans: If performance issues arise, HR can consider a PIP to provide structured support.

Encouraging time off for burnout: HR should promote the importance of taking time off for mental health.
