How do you balance the technical, operational, and human aspects of your change solutions?
While operational, financial & technical skills will always be relevant, I believe we are at a critical juncture & what’s being called in from leaders across an organization regardless of expertise and experience are human skills. Well-being intelligence is an emerging area- one that we should all be watching. It requires leaders to be self aware of their own needs and adapt their working styles, which in turn makes them more aware of their team’s needs and gives them the ability to adapt the working style of the team, which ultimately creates culture change within an organization. We need to goal & reward human skills in the same way we do technical skills. Human skills aren’t soft — they are in fact harder than technical skills.

The workforce well-being imperative
Deloitte Insights
We believe that three factors have an outsized impact on well-being in today’s work environment: leadership behaviors at all levels, from a direct supervisor to the C-suite; how the organization and jobs are designed; and the ways of working across organizational levels. We call these “work determinants of well-being.” To better understand how these three important work determinants could impact well-being in an organization, Deloitte conducted a marketplace survey of 1,274 US workers across a…

Harvard Business Review
Experts tell us that one in four adults will struggle with a mental health issue during his or her lifetime. At work, those suffering — from clinical conditions or more minor ones — often hide it for fear that they may face discrimination from peers or even bosses. These stigmas can and must be overcome. But it takes more than policies set at the top. It also requires empathetic action from managers on the ground.

No organization wants to burn out its employees. And yet, according to new research, companies’ efforts to prevent prolonged stress among their staffs are falling short.
When Deloitte recently surveyed 1,000 full-time employees in the United States, we found that 77% had experienced burnout at their current jobs, and more than half said they’d felt it more than once. This was true even though 87% of respondents said they “have passion for their job.” In fact, among those highly engaged…No organization wants to burn out its employees.

When Deloitte recently surveyed 1,000 full-time employees in the United States, we found that 77% had experienced burnout at their current jobs, and more than half said they’d felt it more than once. This was true even though 87% of respondents said they “have passion for their job.” In fact, among those highly engaged workers, 64% said they were frequently stressed. At the same time, nearly seven in ten people (69%) told us they feel their employer “does not do enough to minimize burnout,” while one in five (21%)—told us they don’t believe their employer offers any stress-reduction programs.
