A practical, preventative approach to workplace learning
As a people leader, you’ll know that today’s workforces are under pressure. Stress, anxiety, financial strain and constant change are impacting focus, engagement and performance across industries.
According to Sonder data:
- 51% of people rate their current ability to manage stress in their daily life as poor or very poor. Only 19% rate it as good or very good (sample size: 453)
- 38% don’t feel confident about their financial decision making (sample size: 312)
- Only 29% feel completely in control of finances, and 16% are rarely or never able to manage their finances*
- 34% rarely or never feel they are able to achieve work-life balance*
- 43% of members are unsatisfied with their diet / eating habits*
- 64% of members wake up feeling anxious at least once a week*
- 79% of members exercise less than 5 days a week, and 24% never exercise*
*Sample size: 133,933
The impact of these personal challenges will often bleed into an individual’s professional life. However traditional approaches, such as one-off workshops or scheduled training sessions, often struggle to create lasting behaviour change.
Sonder’s digital learning programs take a different approach. They are designed to be:
- Self-paced and digital, allowing employees to learn when it suits them
- Evidence-based, grounded in psychology, behavioural science and health research
- Practical, with techniques that can be applied immediately in real situations
- Preventative, helping reduce risk before issues escalate
