Smooth cooperation, mutual understanding, and the well-being of every employee within the team are essential to ensuring the high quality of the services we provide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to support employees\u2019 psychological well-being at work, and taking into account the challenges of working during the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine, we included an employee psychological well-being survey in the 2021 Annual Plan of the Valakampiai Social Services Home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darbuotoj\u0173 gerov\u0117s tyrim\u0105 Valakampi\u0173 socialini\u0173 paslaug\u0173 namuose vasario &#8211; kovo m\u0117n. atliko VU Organizacin\u0117s psichologijos tyrim\u0173 centro vadov\u0117 psicholog\u0117 doc. Dr. Jurgita Lazauskait\u0117-Zabielsk\u0117.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The institution\u2019s employees were invited to complete an anonymous online questionnaire. A total of 98% of all employees participated in the survey. The study examined how employees assess working conditions within the organization and their own strengths, as well as how these factors affect employee well-being (engagement and exhaustion), work performance, and their relationship with the organization.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey results were presented to the employees via the Zoom platform.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey results pleasantly surprised us. It was found that the work motivation of employees at the Valakampiai Social Services Home is higher than that of the average employee in the European Union. Although employees indicated that their work is emotionally demanding, they are able to maintain a good balance between their work and family life. The survey also revealed a high level of prosocial motivation among employees, as well as a strong commitment to developing their skills and striving for professional growth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u016bs\u0173 \u012fstaigoje auk\u0161tas \u012fsitraukimo \u012f darb\u0105 lygis\u00a0 &#8211; 77 proc.

We have committed to strengthening cooperation between managers and employees and therefore plan to hold annual employee review meetings after six months. During these meetings, employees and their managers will have the opportunity not only to discuss the completion of annual tasks and professional development, but also to talk about their well-being, work-related concerns, challenges, achievements, and professional aspirations. We also plan to review and update the Employee and Resident Safety and Health Plan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A positive psychological climate within an organization and employees\u2019 psychological well-being cannot be created in a week or a month; it is an ongoing process. It is important to recognize that the quality and continuous improvement of services, employee retention, and the transfer of good practices to less experienced colleagues largely depend on employees\u2019 psychological well-being.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us create a positive atmosphere and a friendly work environment so that our work brings us both self-fulfilment and joy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virginija Paulauskyt\u0117<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Director for Social Affairs<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Socialinis darbas yra prasminga profesin\u0117 veikla, kurios poreikis visuomen\u0117je auga d\u0117l \u012fvairi\u0173 prognozuojam\u0173 socialini\u0173 proces\u0173 ir netik\u0117t\u0173 poky\u010di\u0173 visuomen\u0117je.
