engage to engage and basically new
workplace metrics so I’m going to touch
up on very critical component in our
lives but at the same time very
technical tonight I hope you can enjoy
that okay so how many times do we hear
about workplace performance metrics
productivity right how to measure and
what’s working what’s not working right
mm-hmm we constantly hear about these
terms but stunning stories we constantly
hear are also people are disengaged in
the workplace according to Gallup
surveys we hear constant stories
one-third of people are only engaged in
the workplace yes it’s dooming the world
is doomed right and two-thirds of people
are disengaged in the workplace and this
is not only in the US this is across the
world and threw out the timelines and
when it comes to Millennials this is
more doomed yes they are less less less
engaged hmm so what’s happening what’s
happening why are we disengaged and what
makes us disengaged in the workplace we
are facing a huge challenge in our life
that’s a cold quality of life we are
experiencing diminishing health and
well-being in the contemporary society
according to world obesity organization
thirty-five percent of males in the US
are obese and when it comes to female
the we have more serious problem over
forty percent of females are obese in
the US and as you all know obesity is
city is related to many chronic diseases
right can you name one diabetes high
cholesterol all kinds of chronic
diseases right this is one of the
challenges we are facing in the
contemporary society the next along with
the physical health issues we are facing
cognitive overload on a daily basis
accrington study conscious brain process
only 40 bits of information per second
but our senses receive 11 mega bits of
information per second and if you can
understand the equation between bits and
megabits yeah 1 million bits equal one
megabit there’s so much information more
than we can digest ever per second right
even writing is tired of thinking mm-hmm
right yeah so why is it matter in the
workplace because this engaged means
lost I’m lost time means lost
productivity lost productivity means
lost finance revenue and bottom line in
the workplace so this is a very
significant problem in the workplace
according to the US standard for mental
health we lose a substantial amount of
revenue n bottom line due to
presenteeism and absenteeism are you
familiar with presentism and absenteeism
ok absenteeism means people are absent
from work because mainly they are sick
or not healthy ok presenteeism is more
problematic in the workplace because
people come to work they are physically
there but they are not mentally engaged
so they are thinking something else like
an old you know I’m going to have with
Susan tonight right so they are punching
the clock but they can’t wait to go home
so that’s a present ism according to the
US standard for mental health we lose
substantially more bottom line due to
presenteeism
twice more than absenteeism okay so
what’s workplace and well-being and how
can we achieve workplace well-being i
define workplace to well-being as
physically being healthy emotionally
feeling good and cognitively being able
to think well in the workplace so there
are many studies and K fittings cases
they show benefits of workplace
well-being and I created five categories
for you to be able to understand clearly
what benefits we have from workplace
well-being as you can see here healthy
organizational culture so you can have
stronger engagement in morale and then
loyalty data increase the higher
retention the second improved individual
health and wealth health and safety
which is also related to financial
return because of reduced health care
premiums and then third against the
company reputation over curse people
like to go go to and work for companies
who care for their employees right and
then higher productivity higher
productivity from reduced absenteeism
presenteeism and reduced over time from
covering absent workers the last leap
financial savings finer savings from
improve the productivity and reduce the
health care cause so we have these
substantial benefits from workplace
well-being so how can we achieve
workplace well-being okay so I present
here to you six dimensions workplace
well-being and basically these are
categories how and where you can address
workplace well-being so physical
activity and Phineas cognitive of
well-being social well-being emotional
well-being non-toxic and clean
environment and physical comfort the
first one physical activity and Phineas
can be achieved through various
strategies facilities space spatial
accommodations or even policies for
people to move around and get healthier
have you ever heard Stenson
it or see it stand table where people
can get stand while they’re working yes
and the stationary bike people can write
when they are working yes this is all
part of the strategies to increase
physical activities and Phineas
activities at work the next package of
well-being we can increase the cabinet
to well-being through various strategies
such as mechanisms to capture the ideas
from ideation to execution IT
technologies or proximities of spaces
these are critical strategies that you
can apply to capture cognitive
well-being the social well-being is a
critical component in human life right
and I know that you guys have body
systems because human bonding to another
human is critical component in human
life this is the same in workplace
emotional well-being can be achieved
through daylight or strategies to
enhance your circadian rhythm body
rhythm like you wake up in the morning
when Sun rises and then you go to sleep
when the moon rises right when your body
doesn’t follow this circadian rhythm
cycle that you get into trouble so chair
to sleep disorder yes and then next one
non-toxic and clean environment we can
support this through lowering VOCs
volatile organic compound components in
the building materials furnishings of
finishes and clean indoor air quality
and then lastly physical comfort through
organ a mix that supports our body body
movement and then lumbar structure of a
human body and thermal comfort indoor
air quality these things okay so in this
section I like to critically emphasize
the importance of recharging activities
at work as part of six dimensions of
workplace well-being so why is
recharging so important to us according
to study the people who took regular
breaks every 90 minutes
were able to concentrate better thirty
percent more than people who didn’t take
regular breaks also they were able to
produce more creative ideas fifty
percent more than the people who didn’t
take a break so recharging is very
important component in workplace
well-being recharging is not only
important to cognitive overload but also
important to generating innovative ideas
how many times have you heard people
created innovative ideas when they were
disengaged which means they were
daydreaming they were taking a shower
they were resting there waiting somebody
they were not thinking anything then
suddenly you recall something came up oh
I got this idea i can solve this one
I’ve been thinking about this one for
two weeks but then suddenly it came to
me when I was daydreaming yeah you hear
this story’s a lot of times because when
you or brain is a little bit to stay
engaged and resting and recharging you
can create you can generate more
creative and innovative ideas that’s why
you’re charged activities are very
important okay I propose these four
activities as part of recharging
activities in the workplace play
solitude contemplate fitness and social
play play through the playing activities
you can build a bond with your
co-workers or colleagues right you can
build a commodity easily while you’re
having a phone and your disengaged from
work in the second solitude lounging and
contemplating activities you’re
internally recharging to go back to
engage with your work and then the third
fitness your deliberative body movement
gives you your boost right boosting
energy so Phineas Phineas activities are
important in your recharging activities
and social of course while you’re
talking and greeting meeting with other
people you’re bonding with them
and then you’re building commodity at
work so social activities are also very
important how do six dimensions of
workplace well-being finally contribute
to innovation or workplace performance
okay so I here present to you a
framework the six dimensions of work
placing well-being effect three critical
components of organization which is
religion culture or process and people
right mm-hmm and these are critical
attributes of organizational culture in
innovative workplace have you heard all
any of these things and freedom autonomy
right good communication open to new
ideas these are critical components to
innovative organizations right now
process these are a critical attributes
of work process in innovative work
places such as interaction collaboration
workflow managing time right all
important in process and then people
their cognitive style creative thinking
skills and their physical health and
well-being these are very important to
their innovative ideas basically so six
dimensions of workplace well-being
affect critical components of
organizational culture process and
people and finally affect innovation
which can be measured by product
innovation process innovation
organizational innovation marketing
innovation in intellectual property and
these measures are combinations from the
as law and UCD innovation measures in
u.s. innovation measures so this way it
can be a framework for you to use how
workplace a well-being can contribute to
the organization bottom line and
innovation okay so why innovation is so
important innovation is defined is
producing new or significantly improved
products
services managerial structures business
models they create a new value for
customers or financial returns for the
companies in the traditional economy
output was only increased by increasing
input accordingly right but innovation
economy this doesn’t work that way
output can be increased without
increasing input accordingly so that’s
why innovation is very important in
knowledge economy and that’s why we’re
talking about workplace well-being that
contribute to innovation okay so this is
the last slide that I’m going to talk
about this came from my recent study to
analyze the difference between
high-performing companies and
low-performing companies in terms of
workplace well-being and you can see a
consistency or a consistent high
performance from high-performing
companies compared to low performing
companies in terms of six well-being
dimensions right so there’s a
correlation between high performance of
the company’s innovation and workplace
welding as a closing remark I like to
encourage you to think about how do you
implement workplace well-being and what
it means to people in the workplace and
how to develop effective workplace
metrics and measures so we can we can
improve quality of life at work as well
as create a sustainable workplace thank
you [Applause]
