Workplace Wellbeing
Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.
From a business perspective, workplace wellbeing should be at the heart of an organisation. Happy and contented staff with good mental and physical wellbeing will be more able to assist with driving a business forward and, regardless of results, an ethical business must always be concerned about the wellbeing of their employees.
If you feel you or your team are suffering from issues such as mental exhaustion or stress, then it could be time to get in touch to see how I can help.
Different levels of wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is very much about what people in the workplace are thinking and feeling. If they are unhappy or stressed about something in the workplace, this can have a bearing on mental health and performance at work.
Mental wellbeing also has an impact on the body, creating problems for physical wellbeing.
Individuals and teams that are stressed or unhappy are less likely to eat and sleep well and, as we all know, having a healthy, well-balanced, nutritious diet is vital to long term good health.
The causes of poor workplace wellbeing
There are many reasons why people might need support. Working long hours, or in a highly stressful environment, for example, can cause executive burnout or mental exhaustion.
Likewise, conflicts among team members or issues around working conditions can also have an impact on physical and mental wellbeing. Addressing these issues needs to be approached in a considered way that shows empathy and care for anyone involved.
The power of professional coaching
Having the external support of a professional coach helps to provide a fresh perspective on the situation, without any judgements being made. I like to work with organisations who care about the wellbeing of their teams and actively engage in corporate stress management programmes. Putting people first is the ethical way to do business and protecting your own and others mental health is the foundation for this.
