The human touch in the social domain: this is how to keep employees resilient

In the social field, you work with your heart and head. But what if the pressure becomes too great? Municipalities play a crucial role in social tasks, but employees in these domains often feel the pressure the most. Too many cases, too little time. The risk? Overwork, dropout and demotivation.

Especially in teams where the human touch is so important, you must also keep an eye on the people behind the work. Regular feedback moments help to guard that balance. No long questionnaires, but short pulse measurements that signal what is going on.

For example: Has the workload increased this month? Do people feel adequately supported? Where is there room for improvement? Thanks to real-time insights, you can make early adjustments - before signals develop into problems.

And this delivers:

  • Resilient teams with more ownership
  • More job satisfaction and better service to residents

The human dimension starts with listening to your own people. Not just once a year, but structurally.
