<\/p>\nAt ArchTam, we have long understood the importance of supporting the well-being of our employees so that they can bring their best selves to everything they do \u2014 personally and professionally. As the world \u2014 and our company \u2014 has evolved, we\u2019ve increased our commitment to cultivating a culture of holistic well-being. Ensuring our employees have the tools and support to put their well-being first is more important than ever, especially during the current global health crisis, protests and civil unrest over systemic injustice and police brutality. This year, instead of a monthlong celebration of global well-being, we\u2019re extending our program over the course of the year for employees around the world.<\/p>\n
With many of us working from home to adhere to shelter-in-place guidelines and processing the events of the past two weeks that have been heartbreaking to witness, our employees may be feeling disconnected or experience increased levels of stress. It\u2019s important to acknowledge that people are dedicating time and energy to process current events on top of maintaining a household that is suddenly together all the time. These sudden changes can negatively impact our physical and emotional health. Through our global employee network of more than 250 Well-Being Ambassadors and Well-Being Champions, we\u2019re sharing tools and resources to strengthen our connection to employees and their families \u2014 from informational webinars about having difficult conversations during a time of unrest, to virtual bootcamp fitness classes, ideas for 30 days of self-care and more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Building a culture of well-being has been a labor of love. For more than a decade, we\u2019ve supported employee well-being through the Wellness at ArchTam<\/em> program in the U.S. In 2018, we expanded our well-being program globally and kicked off \u201cGlobal Well-Being Week\u201d which focused on helping employees understand the importance of well-being for their personal and professional success and its alignment with our one of our core values: safeguard. As part of this effort, we introduced the five pillars of well-being (physical, emotional, financial, social and the planet) and launched WellBeingatArchTam.com, which gives employees easy access to resources, tools and action plans to help them prioritize well-being in all areas of their lives.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been exciting to watch the program evolve. In 2019, we expanded to a \u201cGlobal Well-Being Month\u201d in June and saw a 200 percent increase in the number of countries hosting well-being events and activities, with more than 140,000 touchpoints (e.g. resources accessed, page views, event participation, downloads, posts and more). A surge of employees reported that they felt their well-being was supported by their managers. We\u2019ve gone from a week to a month and now we are building on our culture even further with a year-round program.<\/p>\n Our efforts over the years have earned us a number of honors, including a 2019 Best Employers award for Excellence in Health & Well-Being<\/a> by the National Business Group on Health, international<\/a> and U.S.<\/a> Silver Stevie Awards and an APEX Award of Excellence<\/a>. As a leader at ArchTam, I\u2019m proud of the work we\u2019ve put into advancing this program, and that our focus on well-being is recognized \u2014 but we\u2019re ecstatic to see our employees and their families make it a success and embrace our culture of holistic well-being around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At ArchTam, we have long understood the importance of supporting the well-being of our employees so that they can bring their best selves to everything they do \u2014 personally and professionally.
