We can't talk about workplace wellbeing without addressing wages. I've been using The Living Wage Calculator in my work with organizations for years and highly recommend it as a valuable tool to assess whether employees are earning a living wage. Ideally, we should strive for thriving wages, but this is a great starting point in the journey.
Our featured resource of the month is from the Living Wage Institute, which produces the data hosted on the Living Wage Calculator and connects teams to the right living wage data for their needs. The Living Wage Calculator was originally developed in 2003 to more comprehensively estimate the employment earnings – or the living wage – that a full-time worker requires to cover or support the costs of their family’s basic needs where they live. The Living Wage Calculator’s estimate of living wage includes eight typical expenses or basic needs – childcare, civic engagement, food, health care, housing, internet and mobile, transportation, and other necessities. In addition to these basic needs, the Calculator also accounts for the additional cost to families associated with income and payroll taxes. The Living Wage Calculator currently publishes estimates for Counties, Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), and States in the United States. You can find the calculator here: https://lnkd.in/gQMZrfv Have a resource you think we should share?

It's #worldmentalhealthday, and I'm particularly worried about kids and teens. When you spend 9 hours a day on screens (not including school work), that pushes out most of the healthy activities of childhood - hanging out, being outside, playing sports, reading books, and sleep. In #theanxiousgeneration I propose #thefournorms to reverse the youth mental health crisis. Results from #phonefreeschools are highly encouraging so far, and those of you who’ve written about having limited screen time are also raving about happier, calmer children. Let’s keep this going — collective action problems are solved when we work together. #socialmedia #smartphones #screentime #JonathanHaidt #WMHD
