Level Up! Strategies for Virtual Engagement

In a recent Covid-19 Well-Being survey, conducted by SF Health Service System, 85% of employees reported that technology has helped them stay connected with colleagues in a collaborative way. Establishing social connections and engaging employees in a virtual setting can be challenging, but not impossible.  Capitalize on the virtual platforms your employees are using and explore opportunities to “level up” your well-being engagement game!

Virtual Engagement "Levels":  

  • Communication- Engage in dialogue and feedback to understand interest
  • Choose Health- Offer programs that are meaningful to employees
  • Community- Establish opportunities for employees to connect, socialize, and work together

Each of these "levels" of engagement offer an opportunity to introduce well-being concepts at the workplace. 

How will you Level Up?!
