Ministries and agencies represent a unique workplace where complex tasks and high demands intersect with political objectives and citizens’ expectations. For employees in these government bodies, this combination can create a challenging work environment where high workloads and constant changes are part of daily life.
Howdy enables ongoing insights into employee wellbeing and swift intervention when challenges arise. This creates a culture where wellbeing is taken seriously, with a continuous focus on employees’ mental and physical health
In a world where constant legislative changes and shifting political priorities create high demands, it is essential for ministries and agencies to adopt a proactive approach to wellbeing.
A healthy work environment not only reduces absenteeism and stress but also strengthens employees’ motivation and engagement in fulfilling the state’s objectives.
With Howdy, HR and managers gain access to data and tools that enable them to address wellbeing in real-time. By monitoring wellbeing, they can ensure that employees thrive while also establishing an evidence-based foundation for initiatives that can make a difference.
This allows ministries and agencies to create a long-term and sustainable workplace strategy that addresses both employee wellbeing and organisational goals.
Benefits of using Howdy in Ministries and Agencies:
When stress strikes, it has a price – both for the individual employee and society as a whole.
According to the National Research Centre for the Working Environment (NFA), workplace stress costs Danish society DKK 16.4 billion annually in absenteeism, staff turnover, and lost productivity. This makes it clear that it is not only about individual wellbeing but also about fiscal responsibility for state institutions.
An organisation that actively promotes wellbeing sees improvements in employees’ health and motivation, as well as higher productivity and a more stable workforce.
Through 9 years with Howdy, the Danish Nature Agency has learned that proactive wellbeing efforts works, that men needs an extra push in terms of being helped in time, and that you can easily be a present and good leader and at the same time need a helping hand to get the silent majority activated.
Both on an individual level and in relation to the Danish Nature Agency as an organization, Howdy has supported and helped the employees and management with valuable knowledge.
