🥧 A Slice of Well-being on National Pi Day! 🥧 As we come together as a unified nation in celebrating the mathematical constant π (3.14) 👨👩👧👧 , let's take a moment to indulge in a slice of workplace well-being. Just as π is essential in the realm of mathematics, prioritizing employee well-being is fundamental to fostering a thriving work environment. Here are three ingredients for a healthy workplace well-being "π" : 1️⃣ Purpose: Just as π represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, a clear sense of purpose forms the circumference of a fulfilling work life ⭕. Circles represent connection --- and encouraging employees to connect with their professional purpose cultivates motivation, engagement, and a sense of belonging. 🤝 2️⃣ Prioritizing Mental Health 🧠 : π is infinite and continuous, just like how mental health requires continuous ongoing attention and care. Consistent communication to provide resources and support can help with destigmatizing conversations around mental health. This will inevitably create a workplace culture where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to prioritize their well-being; just like it's inevitable that I eat an entire key lime pie in one sitting. 3️⃣ Practice Mindful Leadership: Much like the precision required in calculating or reciting the entirety of π, mindful leadership involves deliberate, "in-the-moment" awareness and empathetic decision-making. By fostering an environment of trust, transparency, and compassion, leaders can inspire and empower their teams to achieve their fullest potential. On this National Pi Day, one of the greatest of all days 😁, let's remember that just as π is infinite, so too should be our commitment to workplace wellness. Together, let's create a workplace "π" that nourishes, supports and empowers every individual to thrive. Because unlike π, investing in well-being is rational. #NationalPiDay #WorkplaceWellbeing #EmployeeWellbeing #MindfulLeadership #PurposeDriven #MentalHealthAwareness #HealthyWorkplaceCulture

🌟 Thrilled to be part of the Nostra family for the past 3 weeks! 🌟 As Mental Health Awareness Month kicks off, I'm proud to share how Nostra prioritises employee well-being through both direct and indirect support initiatives. At Nostra, employee well-being isn't just a buzzword, or words on the wall– it's ingrained in our culture. From day one, I've been impressed by the company's commitment to fostering a healthy work environment where everyone can thrive. One of the standout perks that directly impacts my mental health is our onsite gym. Having access to a fitness facility right here at the office is a game-changer. It not only makes it convenient to squeeze in lunchtime workouts, but it also provides a much-needed mental break during busy days. Whether it's a strength & conditioning session or a fitness class led by the team at Collective Fitness, the onsite gym has become my go-to sanctuary for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. But it doesn't stop there. Nostra goes above and beyond to support employee well-being in many other ways, including onsite and offsite wellness activities, and extensive employee mental health resources. The emphasis on work-life balance and self-care isn't just lip service or “words on the wall” – it's woven into the fabric of our company culture. As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month, I'm grateful to be part of a business that not only talks the talk but walks the walk when it comes to prioritising employee well-being. Here's to a month of reflection, support, and action as we continue to champion mental health in the workplace and beyond. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #EmployeeWellbeing #NostraCulture #GreatPlaceToWork #Nostra

Last week was National Work Life Week 2023! (2-6 October 2023) Did your employer do anything to support it?

The Dimensions of Wellness teach us that we can create balance and sustainability in many areas of our lives (i.e. physical, spiritual, occupational, social, financial, etc). This week, I am focusing on vocational wellness. This is how we achieve personal fulfillment from our work, making valuable contributions within our organizations while maintaining balance in our personal lives. Are you able to utilize your gifts and talents at your workplace? Does your work environment allow you to express creativity? If not, what action steps can you take to show your value and creativity at work? You should always create time to evaluate your wellness and make changes when necessary.

This week is National Work Life Week, highlighting the importance of wellbeing at work. Did you know plants can improve wellbeing? There are so many benefits of plants, including reducing stress, and increasing productivity. We have plenty of information on our website! #greenteaminteriors #plantsatwork #officeplants #rentalplants #wellbeingatwork

This is one of the more surprising strategies for stopping the stress cycle. Now that I know the benefit, I stop myself from rushing through these little moments of connection throughout the day. Feel free to tag or send this along to your friend that always stops to talk with everyone (and it maybe drives you a little crazy) to let them know they’re onto something! -- 🙋♀️ I'm a workplace wellbeing speaker and career coach - I help people land work they love, and I help organizations retain those people through wellness programming that creates a culture where employees feel valued. #burnoutrecovery #employeewellness #wellbeingatwork #speaker

Mental health is a universal human right. As employers particularly within the third secotor we need to emphasise the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Charities are full of amazing people who give so much to others, often at significant personal cost. As organisations and leaders we have a crucial responsibility in creating a safe and inclusive work environment where work-life balance is valued. It's not only about policies; it's about nurturing a culture of understanding and empathy. For me the focus on work-life balance should be, 1️⃣ Destigmatise: Promote open discussions about mental health and the importance of work-life balance to eradicate stigma. 2️⃣ Accommodate: Demonstrate flexibility and accommodation when employees require time off or adjustments to maintain their balance. 3️⃣ Resources: Provide access to mental health resources, work-life balance initiatives, and Employee Assistance Programmes. 4️⃣ Training: Train managers to identify signs of distress related to work-life balance and offer support. 5️⃣ Inclusivity: Encourage a diverse, inclusive workplace that respects everyone's unique work-life needs. work-life balance and mental health have to remain top priorities, not just today but every day. When employers prioritise work-life balance, they empower their employees to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives both personally and professionally. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #WorkLifeBalance #EmployerResponsibilities 🌈
