We’ve recently completed a research study on key workplace challenges that face HR leaders.   The critical outcome of our research involving interviews with over 20 HR leaders; is that traditional well-being solutions like Employee Assistance Programmes, and mental health crisis support are insufficient to foster the engagement, effectiveness and productivity that allow the workforce to thrive in the challenges and opportunities of the 21C workplace.   We’ve developed an easy-to-deploy and maintain proactive and preventative programme to support these key workplace challenges. If you would like to know more and book a complementary place on our next pilot please let me know.

According to this article from HRD Asia, there is a growing demand among employees for empathetic leaders who can support their well-being and enhance their productivity.

This is an interesting read summarising the results of a fairly broad global study (some NZ responses) of employee engagement. The report outlines declining levels of job satisfaction, with stress levels and burnout rising—not a great combo. Here's a particularly notable quote: "Our research shows employers are caught in a balancing act between a need for increased efficiencies to stay competitive in the market while safeguarding employee wellbeing and trust, which has been in flux since the pandemic," Therein lies a challenge. A drive for MORE productivity; but with how? with what? There's more to unpick from this survey which we'll dive into next week. https://lnkd.in/g323y4Bf

Technical skills often take the spotlight, overshadowing the indispensable trait of empathy. But what if we shift the focus? Prioritizing employee's mental well being and fostering psychological safety is as crucial as meeting targets. Research consistently shows that when employees tend to be more productive when they feel that they are heard and understood. Let's make empathy a priority in HR practices, nurturing a workplace culture where every individual feels valued and heard. #HR #HumanResource #mentalhealth #workplacewellbeing #mentalhealthatwork
