Mental Health Awareness Week, held May 13-19, serves as an essential reminder of how critical mental well-being is to our lives. For over two decades, the week has promoted techniques for reducing stress and highlighting the value of mental health support.
In today’s fast-paced, often remote work environments, it is paramount to prioritize mental health to enhance people’s well-being and foster healthier communities. People spend most of their time at work, making it crucial to choose a place where you feel valued, cared for, and supported. Companies must understand employees’ needs and desires while implementing initiatives that promote a healthy work environment.
As part of Innovecs’ core value of Care, we actively organize initiatives that support the mental health of our team members. Let’s explore, together with Alla Bondaruk, HR Operations Specialist at Innovecs, what’s vital for the Innovecs team and how the company fosters a happy and healthy lifestyle.
Please tell us about InnoFlex.
I hold the HR Operations position at Innovecs. I directly manage the design of initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of our teammates and oversee the company’s benefits. When the idea of creating InnoFlex first appeared, I was fascinated by its unique and flexible approach, which allows each team member to choose valuable benefits personally.
During the development and implementation of the system, the entire HR team put in significant effort. We researched the market and incorporated the best benefit ideas for our team. I was responsible for finding providers and conducting tenders to select the best conditions and highest quality services. Currently, I supervise the administration of these benefits, collect feedback, analyze data, and generate new ideas.
How does the feedback from team members influence the program?
We highly value the opinions and feedback of our teammates, as they enable us to improve our program continually. We use several approaches: we regularly assess program satisfaction, allowing our teammates to share their impressions and ideas for improvement.
