We're building an employee wellness & support solution, and I'd love to get some information about current problems that'll help us solve for better practices. Please share your responses about:
1) Is 1-1 support for employees from the HR team considered a top priority? How many hours does each member spend over a month talking to employees about their concerns and wellbeing?
2) How often do these activities happen:
(a) employee engagement survey
(b) employee wellness survey
(c) town hall meetings
Thank you, really appreciate your help!

Dear Colleague,
QUESTION: You are building an employee wellness & support solution, and you'd love to get some information about current problems that'll help us solve for better practices.
In an employee wellness program, it is suggested to work out all 3 dimensions as we did in many of our past companies: A) Physical Wellness B) Mental Wellness C) Social Wellness. The organization has to focus on all 3 dimensions by having clearly defined/user-centric programs. A team including HR, Medical, and Health Care professionals may work together.
QUESTION: 1) Is 1-1 support for employees from the HR team considered a top priority? How many hours does each member spend over a month talking to employees about their concerns and wellbeing?
The post-Covid situation made it happen that the Top Management and all across the organization focus and work closely on Wellness programs, and companies are coming up with a lot of innovative ideas. Yes, it is a topmost priority in most organizations. There is no fixed hours for understanding the concerns, and it has to be done very informally. One good idea was what we did in one of the companies: HR Tea Time. Here, each department is covered twice a month for a very informal time slot with high tea to gather details and support required for each valuable employee.
2) How often do these activities happen:
(a) employee engagement survey - Employee Engagement Surveys can normally be done once every 6 months, which is an ideal timeline. We tried to reduce the cycle, but it did not work out because implementing the Action Plans from one survey on the identified points might take time to fully do justice. Apart from this, on a daily basis, we measure TODAY'S MOOD of talents when they punch their attendance, and if any important triggers are identified, immediate focus groups and meetings are done to address the concerns. Then, a RAG TAG analysis is done once every 6 months to identify engaged and disengaged employees, leading to clear action plans and feedback sessions.
(b) employee wellness survey - Employee Wellness surveys are done once a quarter, covering the Physical, Mental, and Social aspects of wellness on identified focus areas, with the focus points shifting from quarter to quarter. The identified concerns are addressed, and clear feedback is shared in the monthly organization meetings.
(c) town hall meetings - The TOWN HALLS are conducted once every quarter after the last quarter results are published, combined with the status of action plans on wellness programs/surveys, etc., shared in the meeting by the Action Team to all employees virtually.
Some good ideas are:
- Doctor on Call
- Daily health Tips
- Family Doctor
- Diet for the day suiting age group and climate
- Preventive Medical and Health Education
- Medical Checks and Camps for Families and Employees
- Health Portal as a Wellness Portal where any employee can log in and share their ideas/concerns/expectations, etc.
- Mental Health Coaching
- Spiritual Sessions segments by YouTube and live sessions
- Live YouTube Health advisory
and so on.

Dear Siva, thank you for explaining in such detail. It really helps with what I am looking to do; I can't appreciate your response enough.
If it's okay, could you talk about how useful each of these initiatives has been in helping to improve the overall employee experience at your organization? Have you also partnered with any third-party vendors for some of these services? It would be great to know. Thanks again!
