Caring in the Workplace | Ron Pietosi
One of the reasons why employees leave a company was 79 percent of the time they feel unappreciated. Employee empowerment is essential in the workplace because it helps them boost their productivity and motivation to work. Who would not want happy and healthy employees?
Ron Pietosi is here with us to talk about the best things that you could do for your employees.
Caring for The Employees
Ron says that caring in the workplace is not just for the employees but also for their families. Ron shares that they have an application called the Chap App. It is an app where the employees can communicate with the Chaplains whenever they need to.
We also understand that our chaplains are not supermen and women. We have other resources that we have in each of the communities we serve in. If it’s above our head or pay grade, we go ahead, and we point them in the right direction, but we’re there to help walk through the to walk life out with them if that makes sense. – Ron Pietosi
Helping People with Depression and Anxiety
Ron shares that they have seen many people struggling with depression and anxiety this past nine months. He says that it is easy to miss out on those unless you have somebody that their sole purpose is to care for the employees. He is glad because their chaplains helped people walk through their lives and prevent possibilities of suicide.
That’s the kind of model that we have as we build relationships. They’re gonna share things with us, and they’re gonna notice things. – Ron Pietossi
EAP and Chaplains
Most of the companies have an employee assistance program where employees reach out whenever they encounter problems. Ron says that having that program is good, but Chaplains are more active because they offer a deeper connection. Also, Ron says that Chaplains can help increase the utilization rate of EAP.
“We’re able to help increase the utilization rate if we know what their EAP is, and they share it with us. We want to become part of that company’s culture, so if we find that out, we can point the employees to that EAP as well.” – Ron Pietosi
