Thresholds' President & CEO Mark Ishaug participated in a panel hosted by The Chicago School on Workplace Wellness, alongside their own Michele Nealon, Psy.D., discussing challenges nonprofit organizations face and how they work to create healthy, happy work environments for their employees and the communities those agencies serve. "But love is not just a noun, it's really a verb," said Mark. "And I think it's just incumbent on all of us at every level...to lead every day with that same kind of, I use the word love, but you could use compassion or empathy or kindness or courage." https://bit.ly/4eGtWM3

It's Wellness Wednesdays ☀️💛 In the realm of workplace wellness, I advocate for a simple yet powerful principle: Recognition and Appreciation. Let's make it a point to acknowledge the hard work of our colleagues, understanding the impact of positive reinforcement on overall well-being. By encouraging a culture of recognition, we aim to create a workplace where individuals feel valued, fostering a sense of fulfillment and camaraderie. Small gestures of appreciation can have a big impact on mental health and job satisfaction. Let's create a workplace that not only recognizes achievements but also uplifts the spirits of the entire team. #WorkplaceWellness #Recognition #Appreciation #PositiveWorkCulture

In the pursuit of workplace well-being, there's one crucial ingredient that's often overlooked - 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙮! While organizations may invest in various wellness programs and initiatives, the absence of a coherent strategy can undermine their effectiveness. Without a clear plan, efforts to promote employee health and happiness may lack direction, cohesion, and sustainability. A strategic approach to workplace well-being involves more than just implementing perks and activities—it requires a comprehensive framework that aligns with organizational goals and values. A well-defined strategy ensures that well-being initiatives are integrated into the workplace's fabric, from fostering a supportive culture to providing resources for mental health support. Organizations can create environments where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive by prioritizing strategy in workplace well-being efforts. Let's recognize the importance of strategy as the missing ingredient and commit to building a healthier, happier workplace for all!

Founder & Managing Director at The Well Being | Corporate Wellness Strategist | Guiding Individuals and Organizations Towards Holistic Wellness and Lasting Change
Reflecting on nearly 20 years in public health, one key lesson stands out: the necessity of a bi-directional approach. It's not enough to create programs or initiatives; true effectiveness lies in ensuring that they incorporate the needs and interests of the intended audience. This principle holds especially true in workplace wellness initiatives. To cultivate sustainable change, it's crucial for employers to include the needs, pain points, and level of involvement of their employees. By fostering collaboration and engagement with those directly impacted, we build momentum and drive meaningful progress together. #PublicHealth #WorkplaceWellness #EmployeeEngagement

Ever stop to think about what truly makes a workplace thrive? It all starts with awareness – not the buzzy, corporate kind, but the real, boots-on-the-ground kind. It's about understanding the daily challenges your teammates tackle, recognizing the ups and downs of mental health, and appreciating how leadership shapes the whole experience. When we're aware, when we really see each other, that's when we can start building a workplace where everyone feels valued, and able to do their best work; a workplace that's not just about productivity, but about people – their well-being, their growth, and their happiness. What steps can you take as a leader to improve workplace awareness for better workplace wellness? Need some help with how to create a culture of listening and feedback so you have better awareness.
