Leadership and Employee Welfare in Improving Organizational Productivity
Main Article Content
Abstract
Leaders have an important role in creating a healthy work environment that supports employees' physical and mental welfare. This welfare, which includes both physical and psychological aspects, can improve productivity and organizational performance. Transformational leadership that prioritizes motivation and attention to employees' emotional and physical needs can contribute to the creation of a conducive work atmosphere. By paying attention to employee welfare, organizations can reduce stress levels, increase job satisfaction, and encourage employee engagement. Policies that support work-life balance, as well as the provision of facilities that support health, are also important factors in improving employee welfare. As a result, organizations that pay attention to employee welfare will see benefits in terms of productivity, efficiency, and overall performance. It is important for leaders to continue to prioritize welfare as a priority in every organizational policy.
