Building Workforce Wellbeing
Increasing awareness of employee wellbeing may be the most significant movement in the business world in our lifetime. According to a 2009 survey by WorkUSA, companies with highly engaged employees have 26% higher revenue per employee than companies with disengaged employees.

Changing organizational culture to value employee wellbeing is the most important step towards engaging your workforce. NBDC's Workforce Wellbeing program provides a unique technology-enhanced process for increasing employee satisfaction in key areas.

Collaborative Software, Collaborative Employees

With the guidance of NBDC facilitators and special decision support software, employees brainstorm, evaluate and prioritize ideas to improve their wellbeing at work. This is not just another employee satisfaction survey. It is a plan with concrete steps to real improvement in job satisfaction.

Support and guidance from experienced trainers encourages your employees to take responsibility for their own wellbeing

  • Create employee-driven collaborations capable of producing results without top-down direction
  • Develop a wellbeing plan that has more potential for leadership buy-in
  • Generate creative, out-of-the-box ideas
  • Achieve higher levels of consensus that result in faster, better decisions.

New collaboration and decision support software provide tools for faster results

These tools will help your employees develop, evaluate and prioritize ideas faster, easier and with significantly more likelihood of implementation.
  • Guarantees diverse voices are heard
  • Promotes creative brainstorming and daring outside-the-box thinking
  • Reduces many ideas to best ideas to final outcomes dramatically fast

Program AGENDA

The twenty-hour program begins with an employee steering committee selected by your organization's leadership. NBDC instructors train these employees to strategize, utilize the software, evaluate and prioritize ideas and support them as they select a plan to present to management. After vetting by company executives, a celebration ceremony is videotaped for publication on the web and company intranet. The final step is measuring and reporting results. This process can be repeated annually for continuous improvement.
