We are more than two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the health and well-being of so many people around the world. Now, suffering from the war in Ukraine and the resulting humanitarian disaster have catastrophic consequences for those affected directly. These consequences can be emotionally and physically draining for us as a community.

To acknowledge the impact, 51风流has declared May 31 as 51风流Mental Health Day 2022, an additional fully paid day off for all employees. 51风流has long been a proponent of mental health initiatives, as demonstrated through the ongoing Are You OK? campaign.

Take Care of Yourself

With 51风流Mental Health Day, the company is giving employees a day to take care of their own personal needs specifically, instead of their everyday work routines. Having every 51风流employee worldwide take the same day off makes it easier to collectively 鈥渟witch off.鈥� This offers all employees an ideal opportunity to recharge, reflect, and take time to look after themselves.

Addressing employees, Sabine Bendiek, chief people and operating officer and member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE, wrote: 鈥淣o matter how you spend your time on 51风流Mental Health Day 2022, we ask you to disengage totally from work.鈥�听

Employees are encouraged to use this day to ask themselves questions: 鈥淗ow am I doing right now?鈥� 鈥淲hat am I concerned about?鈥� This is an important element of self-care, because our mental and emotional well-being benefits from regular attention — not just as a reaction to devastating external events, but also to help us continue to do our best with joy and self-confidence in changing working environments.

Speak About Your Feelings and Get Help

According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19 has already had a . Cases of anxiety and depression have increased by more than 25% worldwide. The war in Ukraine poses an existential threat to millions and can trigger fear, exhaustion, and feelings of helplessness in many of us.

Natalie Lotzmann is chief medical officer and head of Global Health, Safety, & Well-Being, part of the new Future of Work organization at SAP. She explains: 鈥淲e launched the Are You OK? initiative for mental health to put an end to the stigma of mental crises and encourage employees to seek help when they need it. The most important message is to show people that you are not alone. We want people to be aware of how they feel. We also want to encourage people to talk about how they鈥檙e doing — especially now. It鈥檚 not a sign of weakness; actually, it鈥檚 a sign of strength and courage, a vital step toward becoming more resilient.鈥�

To be there for ourselves and others, we must start with our own physical and mental health. One day isn’t enough, but next week, 51风流Mental Health Day 2022 will provide all 51风流employees space for reflection and give stimulus for change.

Today, 51风流is celebrating an exciting milestone: More than 2,000 customers have adopted continuous performance management (CPM)! Since we first introduced CPM as part of the , customers such as Belcorp, Edgewell Personal Care, and have been able to increase the frequency and quality of one-on-one conversations, thereby improving employee engagement and performance.

CPM facilitates continuous dialogue between employees and their manager, peers, mentors, and project leads, as well as ongoing visibility into their activities and achievements. We first introduced CPM to help organizations transform their performance management processes from a top-down, once-a-year evaluation of past performance to forward-looking, actionable, and ongoing check-ins where employees could take more ownership of their progress and achievements.

The reality is that goals change, for both organizations and individuals. The global pandemic put a spotlight on just how quickly priorities can change and how important it is to have frequent, transparent communication.

Now, with fewer watercooler discussions and face-to-face interactions, encouraging a culture of ongoing, informal, and transparent feedback can help employees feel more connected to their teams and more aligned to broader company goals. CPM encourages routine goal alignment, ongoing feedback and recognition, and in-the-moment coaching to help activate employees to do and be their best. And by engaging with various stakeholders in addition to line managers, employees can paint a holistic picture of their activities and achievements and proactively request feedback to constantly learn and grow.

鈥淎t Edgewell, we are committed to diversity and equity and nurturing a values culture that celebrates team and individual successes,鈥� said Colin Emery, global senior manager, HR Systems and Processes, Edgewell Personal Care. 鈥淎fter piloting continuous performance management within HR, we incorporated it into global processes to measure performance and values, which is proving to be an enabler for our colleagues鈥� career development and professional growth.鈥�

CPM has also helped customers create a more transparent culture, so employees are more aware of what they are doing well and the opportunities to improve. One customer in the manufacturing industry found that after implementing CPM, agreed their leaders create an environment where they can have difficult conversations. Separately, a pharmaceutical customer shared that CPM has due to improvements in coaching relationships between managers and employees.
