This International Stress Awareness Week, let's talk about real solutions. 3 science-backed strategies you can start using today: 1. The 3-3-3 rule 👀 When stress hits, name 3 things you see, 3 things you hear, and move 3 parts of your body. This simple grounding technique pulls you back to the present moment. 2. Strategic breaks 🧠 Instead of pushing through, take a 5-minute break every 90 minutes. Your brain needs it. Stand up, stretch, or better yet - step outside. 3. The worry window 🪟 Set aside 15 minutes daily for your worries. When anxious thoughts pop up outside this time, acknowledge them and say "I'll think about this during my worry window." The best part? These techniques take minutes, not hours. 💚 What's your go-to method for handling stress at work? Share below! #mentalhealth #stress #wellbeing #awareness

🚨 57% of employees leave their jobs because of their managers. Not their salary. Not their workload. Their manager. The reality is - people don't quit companies, they quit leaders. Poor leadership can cost your organisation its best talent. A good manager checks in, listens, and recognises the person behind the job title. It’s the difference between employees feeling drained or inspired, isolated or connected. Let’s raise awareness around empathetic leadership and work towards cultures where people genuinely want to stay and grow. 🌱 #mentalhealth #wellbeing #managers #leadership

Mental health has overtaken cancer as the top health concern for Britons - a shift that mirrors a growing global trend. A recent survey by Ipsos reveals a fundamental change in health priorities. 54% of Britons now cite mental health as their biggest worry, up from 50% in 2018. This surge isn't isolated to the UK. Globally, mental health concerns have jumped from 27% to 45% in just five years. Experts point to several factors behind this shift: 💭 Rising pressures from the cost of living crisis 💭 Increased awareness of male violence against women 💭 The lasting mental health effects of the COVID pandemic The upside to this awareness? More people recognising mental health as a priority means more support for those who are struggling. Let's turn this growing concern into positive action. Together, we can build healthier, happier workplaces across Europe. 💚 Article: https://lnkd.in/dQdv-tad #mentalhealth #wellbeing #news

Are your managers prepared to spot burnout and offer the right support? 🌱 With work piling up, burnout often goes unnoticed. Many managers struggle with questions like: “How do I know when or what to ask?” "How can I spot burnout signs - especially in digital settings?” “How can I adapt my approach for different team members?"

Quiet quitting and workplace well-being: are they connected? 🤔 At our recent HR Summit, James Owen Lewis shared insights on this timely topic. He explained that quiet quitting often stems from deeper issues, such as a lack of purpose or toxic work culture. While well-being plays a role, it's not the sole factor. “Well-being is actually the outcome of work,” James noted. “Things your business does impact well-being - and they also influence whether an individual wants to stay with the organisation.” To truly address quiet quitting, it’s essential to understand the underlying causes of poor well-being. When we focus on creating purpose, positive culture, and engagement, well-being follows. 🌱 📺 Rewatch the full panel discussion via the link below! #mentalhealth #wellbeing #hr #employeewellbeing
