Have you heard of the term 'carewashing'? Much like green washing, it's when a business says employees' wellbeing is important to them but it turns about to be a lot of saying all the right things with little action. In reality, it's an empty promise 😟 . Have you expereinced 'carewashing' where you work or in a previous role? Carewashing can give culture, wellbeing and health initiatives a bad rap when in fact they are power tools 💪 to grow resilience and performance! Have a read of this interesting and informative article from HBR and let me know your thoughts in the comments or send me a DM 😊 . https://lnkd.in/g-AC_p9i

Listen to hear. Listening to hear is actively listening to what the other person is saying. Listening is not thinking about what we want to say next; we are focused on the other person. Hearing means we may not have the answers, but the people we engage do. Healthcare senior leadership, be physically present today, take a walk, and listen to the care teams. Listen to the frontline leaders. Listen to the support service teams working behind the scenes. Together, all of these people are the infrastructure that delivers patient care. All of these people are healthcare. Here's a quote from a physician I've come to know and respect in response to my post yesterday: "We're supposed to talk to our employer? Never happens. They don't have time to waste on us. Not to mention, they don't want to hear what we have to say." Healthcare has a ton of waste, and authentically engaging with the workforce with the intent to make a difference is not one of those wastes. If this is the culture you work in today, where leadership is not listening to hear, then the waste is at the top with poor leadership that does not belong in healthcare. Listening to hear is easy for the trained ears in healthcare leadership. Healthcare with a heart hears it all. ❤️ #accountability #leadershipexcellence #presence #healthcareonlinkedin #moralinjury #psychologicalsafety #employeeengagement #authenticity #gratitude #empathy

I strongly believe that the interprofessional rivalry experienced within the healthcare sector can be solved with good self-leadership and proper interpersonal relationships. The Pygmalion effect is one theory that comes to mind when imagining a solution to this challenge. It very well can be applied in hospitals to help hospital leaders solve this problem. usually, the experience of new doctors is that they meet a workplace that is already hostile towards them even before knowing them. By virtue of the harsh welcome, these new doctors give in to the temptation of reacting to the environment, which further consolidates the perception of other healthcare workers about doctors. Hence, the cycle continues and the rivalry is self-propagating. On one side, the doctors are blamed for reacting, on another side, the harsh welcome is blamed. However, both are a result of the influence of the other. If we (especially at the individual level), are able to break the cycle at any point, it will lead to a paradigm shift that will lead to a more efficient, and welcoming workplace environment. #leadership #pygmalioneffect #emotionalintelligence #healthcare

Fostering a culture where employees feel empowered to address their health and well-being needs is a challenge for organizations. Leaders can cultivate a supportive environment by being authentic and willing to share their own struggles. This was just one of many insights we shared from our recent LinkedIn Live event where I participated with Wendy Sherry and Dr. Kennette Thigpen Harris, LCSW. We discussed how to prioritize your workforce’s health and well-being, to enable them to realize their most vital selves. Read the article in full to learn more about the learnings from the event and discover how employee vitality can be the key to organizational success. https://upl.inc/f8ybhg And you can catch up on the full LinkedIn Live discussion here: https://lnkd.in/eq-p7zJF #CignaHealthcareVitality #Healthcare #EmployeeWellbeing #MentalHealth #EmployeeVitality

A few months back, I presented to the Health, Safety and Wellbeing team about a book I had read - Leading with Dignity by Donna Hicks. They found it really helpful so I thought it worthwhile to share some key learnings. It's a book that digs into a concept we don’t talk about nearly enough in the workplace: dignity. And no, it’s not the same as respect. While respect is something we earn, dignity is something we’re all born with - it's about recognising the inherent worth in every person. Leading with dignity is about making sure everyone feels valued and safe, no matter what their role is. It means giving people the freedom to do their best work, being accepted for who they are, and knowing their contributions matter. When leaders get this right, they create a space where people aren’t just clocking in - they’re engaged, motivated, and genuinely happy to be there. But let’s face it: we don’t always see that happening. Dignity gets violated in ways we might not even realise - like when someone’s ideas are shut down, or they feel micromanaged, or their opinions are ignored. And the impact? It’s real. Research shows that when our dignity is violated, our brains react the same way as if we were physically hurt. It’s that powerful. So, what does leading with dignity look like in practice? It’s about: 1. Valuing everyone’s voice and making sure people feel heard. 2. Trusting your team and avoiding the urge to micromanage. 3. Creating an environment where people feel safe to share their thoughts and be themselves. 4. Being genuinely present in your conversations and interactions. The thing is, many leaders aren't taught this stuff. They might be great at their jobs technically, but they haven't had the chance to learn how to lead in a way that truly honours people’s dignity. That’s where we can make a difference. So, here’s my challenge: If you’re in a leadership role, ask yourself - are you creating a culture where dignity is upheld? Are your people feeling valued and safe to be themselves? Let’s talk more about this. Because in the end, leading with dignity isn’t just good for people - it’s good for business too.

There is a dilemma that lies in the fact that achieving widespread safety demands widespread trust, yet trust doesn’t scale. So, faced with this contradiction, what can a wellbeing leader do? We will explore this question at our upcoming 'Deeper Diagnosis' seminar, which will bring together Wellbeing Leaders from over 100 organisations.
