"Instead of trying to spot the signs of declining mental health, focus on creating an environment where it is as normal to share our emotional challenges as it is to talk about going to the gym."
As the world we operate in continually changes, with COVID-19 challenging the way we physically work, as climate change questions the corporate impact on the Earth and as a corporation's relationship with its employees evolves, corporations need to continually to reinvent the way we do business.
Shareholders and employees alike want their companies to go beyond the profit principle and to make a positive contribution to the world. Instilling a connection to greater purpose is a game changer. Similarly, individuals are looking for organisations that align with their core values and beliefs. Embedding emotional intelligence and a culture of compassion, support and kindness takes a conscious strategy, time and commitment.
Emotional wellbeing support is a leading attraction for new talent, staff-retention and growing each year. Furthermore, a psychologically nurturing environment can transform how an organisation relates, performs and connects. It can create a workplace that people are excited to be part of and make a lasting difference to the wellbeing of its staff, their family and friends.
We all have struggles, we all have emotions and we all have good days and bad days. When we create an environment where it is normal to talk about this, we don’t need to learn to spot the signs of distress, burnout or fatigue. The question about an emotional wellbeing framework for today’s world is no longer, ‘do I need this’ but more ‘how can I integrate this into our company DNA’? What is your corporate wellbeing plan?
Many corporations offer webcasts, intellectual presentations and insights, however practical actions, pragmatic tools and experiential workshop complemented with emotional story telling is often missing. To blend the intellect with the personal, the head with the heart, offers the holistic corporate marriage which help create lasting change.
