Recently we released the “Ranking of companies that take care of their employees in Argentina”list that is made annually since 2021.
Beyond the companies that obtained better scores, we now set out to ask ourselves, What does it mean today, take care of employees? Is it a concept linked to health, emotionality, security, financial balance?
The answer, it could be said, covers a bit of all that and much more too.
Already before the pandemic, but with a strong deepening from it, Companies began to glimpse the importance of employees enjoying psychic and physical health.
During the pandemic, and immediately after it, the coverage of good prepaids, the plans to stimulate physical exercise and emotional containment acquired great relevance.
In many cases, what is included in the concept of “Welfare” It happened to occupy an increasingly prominent place in the results of the work climate surveys. Companies took note of this and began to improve and create new benefits to respond to these needs.
In parallel, or perhaps with some incidence of the aforementioned pandemic and its changes in work modalities, strong emotional wear began to be received by the collaborators. Anxiety, burnout and other novel trends such as silent exit became increasingly common.
Therefore, today taking care of is much more than going out to respond to these symptoms, especially when these answers appear later. It is not, to use a common metaphor, quickly and well turn off the fire, but to deal with prevention, preventing focuses for it to happen.
The “care” of the employee
If we had to synthesize the “careful” In some actions, we could talk about listening, accompanying, being close, transmitting values from the leaders, having commitment from the management and making a constant evaluation of how collaborators are.
It is, to synthesize, a strategic decision that is reflected in the way of leading, how the purpose is lived, in equilibrium policies and in the conscious design of environments that prioritize the human.
The companies that take care maintain high and sustained levels in credibility, respect and camaraderie that reinforce their cultures based on trust, emotional containment and human ties.
In the companies that take care, leadership is not perceived as a distant figure: it feels close, human and present. It is there where trust begins to be built.
The companies that take care understand that the economic performance of the business sustained over time is born of balance. Therefore, they not only promote it: they allow it. With concrete policies, healthy environments and real margins for people to manage their personal life without guilt.
In turn, they allow them to make mistakes, the best way to encourage innovation. Their leaders encourage active participation, value suggestions and recognize achievements, but also understand that involuntary errors are learning opportunities.
Conclusion
In summary, these are organizations that have made care a central axis of their culture, demonstrating that the well -being of people, mental health, active listening and human leadership are not only ethical values, but also key engines for sustainability and long -term success.
