Technology to deliver staff wellbeing is good for employers
and employees, though privacy and data concerns must be
addressed.
With employee wellbeing moving up board agendas, a number of
major multinational firms and small enterprises alike have embraced
initiatives or technologies in the area. Telecommunications giant
Vodafone, for example, provides employees with an app to manage
various dimensions of their wellbeing, monitoring their use of
online services and making recommendations for healthier
behaviours. Likewise, banking group BNP Paribas uses wearable
technology to provide employees with personalised data to help them
make healthy lifestyle choices.
From fostering a more productive workplace to reducing
absenteeism and improving employee satisfaction, the right use of
wellbeing technology can benefit both employers and staff.
