How to organize your QVCT week?

The week dedicated to Quality of Life and Working Conditions (QLWC) is approaching, and you're still unsure about the best way to organize it in your company? With a well-structured action plan, this week can considerably improve health in the workplace and strengthen your employer brand.

Here's a guide to implementing an effective approach and optimizing your employees' well-being at work.

What is QWL Week?

Let's start with the basics: what does this week dedicated to QVCT really represent?

Initiated by ARACT (Agence nationale pour l'amélioration des conditions de travail), this week aims to encourage companies to consider the challenges of health at work. Each year, it encourages organizations to take concrete initiatives to improve their teams' quality of life at work.

For one week, companies are invited to organize targeted actions to boost well-being at work and review working conditions to better meet their employees' needs.

QVCT Week: what are the benefits?

Guaranteeing a good working environment for all our employees means ensuring that they can work under the best possible conditions, carry out their missions successfully, and maintain goodmental, physical and relational health.

But beyond the human impact, improving QWL also benefits your company! By rethinking managerial practices, optimizing internal communication and facilitating teamwork, you can improve your organization's overall performance.

QWL week is therefore an opportunity to revisit and improve what can be improved, so that employees are healthier, more motivated, and ready to invest themselves fully in their work. In concrete terms, an optimized QWL reduces absenteeism, lowers turnover and boosts productivity. And best of all, a good QWL improves your employer brand, attracts new talent and simplifies recruitment.

What's on the agenda for your QVCT week?

Before rushing off to the massage and spa catalogs, it's essential to be well-prepared to maximize the benefits of this week.

Defining clear objectives to improve health in the workplace

It's important to define your objectives before choosing which actions to implement. If your objective is to improve managerial practices, for example, opt for workshops related to this need. If your employees are showing signs of stress, a stress management workshop could be particularly beneficial.

The best thing to do is to take stock of the current situation by asking your employees about their needs and expectations. This will enable you to define clear objectives and organize a QWL week that meets the needs of your teams while aligning with corporate objectives.

Involving employees in QWL Week

QWL week is primarily aimed at your employees. Why not ask them directly what could be improved? Organize workshops like "Objectif mieux-être", based on the Rose - Thorn - Bud method, to identify what's working, what needs to be improved, and what can be put in place. This feedback will give you an excellent starting point for planning a relevant and impactful week.

Choosing the right actions

Are you wondering what concrete actions would be worth organizing? To guarantee a return on your investment, focus on sustainable actions that will have positive effects well beyond the QVCT week. To achieve this, there's nothing like offering your teams useful and, above all, reusable resources. A case in point is Ikea, which, in addition to its annual actions, has chosen to set up specific conferences on an important topic to encourage change management: "Faut que ça change: développer sa résilience."
