Ripen

What stressors have been weighing you down lately? It’s easy to carry these burdens alone, but talking to someone can be a powerful way to lighten the load. Across The Transformation Group, we place mental health and wellbeing at the forefront of our business strategy for Talenza and Tranzformd. Through Ripen’s world-class diagnostic tools, we help our teams reflect on their current challenges, understand their outcomes, and identify the wellbeing areas they want to improve. We’re fortunate to have Matt Hughes, Principal Owner of Ripen and Group Director of People & Performance, leading the charge on mental health, ensuring it's a strategic priority for the business. His work is building resilience across our team and making wellbeing an everyday focus. See his advice below for managing the mental and physical loads we carry. #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #WorkplaceWellbeing #TheTransformationGroup #Talenza #Tranzformd #RUOKDay

What do you do if performance evaluations lack fairness and objectivity? We loved this insight from Matt Hughes 😍 "Critical feedback threatens our social connectedness. And when that feedback feels unfair, unreasonable or unjustified it is especially hard to take on or do anything with. A typical first-response to critical feedback is to reject it, or deny it's true. We tell ourselves "This isn't fair". But what if it was true? Even feedback that lacks fairness or objectivity might contain some element of truth. If we can allow ourselves some time to reflect and 'play' with the possibility that the feedback is true, then it might shine a light on a blind spot we've had. Either way, applying a healthy dose of mental agility is beneficial i.e. looking at things from multiple perspectives and taking purposeful and positive action to move yourself forward." #resilience #socialresilience #highperformancehabits You can checkout the discussion here: https://lnkd.in/gcA5rEc2
