It’s easy to think of burnout as a personal problem. When employees seem stressed or unproductive, we tend to ask, “What can they do to manage their workload better?” or “How can they improve their resilience?” While personal coping strategies matter, this perspective overlooks the bigger picture. Burnout is often a symptom of systemic challenges in the workplace that leadership must address. #leadership #burnout #mentalhealth #accountability

Despite its importance, mental health initiatives are often measured sporadically and lack strategic focus eg. tracking certain metrics like engagement, but often failing to assess more nuanced factors like resilience and leadership. For employers to demonstrate the value of mental health investments, they need to adopt a more disciplined approach to tracking and improving employee wellbeing. #mentalhealth #measurement #ROI #strategicapproach

Resilience is not accidental. It is the product of a deliberate strategy that integrates agility, psychological safety, adaptable leadership, and a cohesive culture. At the heart of this strategy is a focus on mental wellbeing, which is increasingly recognised as the cornerstone of organisational resilience. #resilience #mentalwellbeing #agility #psychologicalsafety #adaptability

Employee engagement surveys have become essential tools for modern organisations, potentially offering vital insights into workforce morale, satisfaction, and overall engagement levels. However studies continue to reveal that employee concerns about potential negative consequences can lead to lower participation rates and less honest responses - mitigating the effectiveness of surveys. #engagementsurveys #psychologicalsafety #honesty #effectiveness

While bringing pets to the office has seen an increase in the past few years, research is now showing the clear benefits to employee mental wellbeing and company culture.

One significant, yet often overlooked, factor that continues to drive employees out the door: their managers. While the adage "people leave managers, not companies" is widely recognised, recent data suggests that to this day businesses still fail to fully grasp or address this issue before it's too late. #employeeturnover #managers #engagementsurveys

Meet our coaching client, a successful Executive who, despite his achievements, felt that he has lost connection with his staff and suffers from high staff turnover, disengagement and absenteeism in his team. He discovered the link between these leadership challenges and his own psychological wellbeing. Our Executive realised that self-transcendence is a lever to serve and connect authentically to others and co-create transformative goals that are both motivating and inspiring and benefiting the greater good. Some of his questions were: 🔋 How do I manage a space where people can belong? 🔋 How do I slow down and listen authentically to my people? 🔋 How do I look at diversity and give people “voice” that they feel they are respected? 🔋 What about in and out-groups? 🔋 How do I improve my own levels of resilience in a chaotic corporate environment? 👉 Read the vignette here: https://lnkd.in/dqczw7Yi #Psychologicalwellbeing, #leadershipdevelopment, #resilience, #coaching, #mentalhealth
