SOUMTANG BIME Valentine, Cameroon, DES-P, your feedback underscores a significant paradox confronting many international organizations: how to remain efficient while investing heavily in the development and well-being of people. To strike the right balance between operational efficiency and investment in employee well-being, flexible work modalities (e.g., remote work and flexible hours) should be developed based on 'work outcomes' rather than inflexible presence requirements. This flexibility helps them to achieve a better work-life balance, decreases stress, and increases motivation. On the other hand, it's crucial that mental health and wellness support avenues, such as counseling sessions or stress-relieving workshops, are made available and workload managed to achieve this. When you build a culture where kindness and support are appreciated, teams themselves become more resilient and can deliver sustainable performance. Combining agile work modes with a strong well-being policy therefore also boosts engagement, creativity, and team effectiveness, while satisfying employees' legitimate expectations of quality of work life.
