“Sometimes doing nothing makes way for everything. Don't underestimate the power of resting. It builds you back unlike anything. Silence has all the powerful answers you are looking for. Give it a chance to flow through you. Birds chirping around you is a beautiful realisation that life in incredibly good. Let this sound be a gentle break in your routine. Explore yourself in silent contemplation." ― Hiral Nagda #selfcare #takeabreak #mindfulness #silence #resting

"Investing in organizational culture outperforms therapy and self-care. Historically, mental health support from employers has primarily centered around a productized, individualized approach — therapy, apps, time off. This equips workers with the resources to self-manage their mental health on their own time outside of work. At the same time, it also implies that it should be dealt with personally in private. Burnout in was defined by the World Health Organization as fundamentally rooted in poorly managed workplace stress. Leading burnout researcher Christina Maslach identifies six main causes of burnout: unsustainable workloads, perceived lack of control, insufficient rewards for effort, lack of a supportive community, lack of fairness, and mismatched values and skills — all workplace factors. This year’s respondents rated how helpful the following were to their mental health: Mental health treatment Self-care resources for mental health A safe and supportive culture for mental health A healthy and sustainable culture of work A healthy and sustainable culture emerged as the clear winner, with 78% rating it as moderately, very, or extremely helpful. This remained true when segmenting outcomes across gender, generation, LGBTQ+ identity, race and ethnicity, caregiver status, and seniority levels. Next highest was a safe and supportive culture for mental health at 67%. Workers are seeing mental health as a collective workplace responsibility rather than an individual one. Increasingly, supporting mental health at work means fundamentally realigning an organization’s culture with human well-being. Entering 2023, workers’ comfort with talking about their mental health to senior leaders nearly halved from 37% in 2021 to just 19% in 2023. There will never be a one-size-fits-all vision of what a mentally healthy workplace looks like. Achieving this requires a collective re-envisioning of what workplace mental health means to everyone in the organization — leaders and workers alike — tailored to its size, stage, industry, region, individual roles, and more. This starts with understanding your organization, what mental health looks like within it, and ultimately, what your people want. Culture change requires both top-down and bottom-up approaches. From the top, leaders can tell their own mental health story within their organization, and model healthy work practices. Leaders need to offer ways to cope and solve for root causes.  This means measuring mental health and workplace factors, asking about workers’ perspectives on a regular basis, and enacting real, meaningful change tailored to the needs of your people. Further embedding these efforts into your organization’s culture, systems, employee life cycle, and business strategy ensures that well-being is built into the business itself, not simply relegated to an HR wellness program. Recommit to the foundations of work itself. Safety. Autonomy. Belonging." https://lnkd.in/e-3p3Z7y
