If you’ve landed on this article, then you’ve probably heard the term “workplace wellbeing” getting thrown about. It is - after all - on track to being one of this decade’s biggest buzzwords (obviously behind ChatGPT and Elon Musk).

But what does it actually mean? And how does it apply to you and your work life? Don't worry, dear reader, prepare to be enlightened!

But first things first, let's define what workplace wellbeing actually is.

Apologies for stating the obvious, but the pandemic changed a lot of things.

None more so than the business world. What once pulled the strings of our everyday lives, has now been relegated to a small laptop at home.

While remote working has been a blast for most, it’s been a real drag on others. Some remote workers have been experiencing loneliness, weakened social ties and feelings of isolation. Going into an empty office doesn’t offer much respite from these feelings - unless you enjoy the company of tumbleweeds.

Self-sabotage is the many interesting ways we find to harm ourselves either physically, mentally, or emotionally. Ultimately, it is how we become our own worst enemy when it comes to creating successful and healthy lives for ourselves.

This common phenomenon is also known as behavioural dysregulation. It can be conscious or unconscious, depending on your level of self-awareness.

I get it - not many people want to be seen as a negative person. Many of us want to see our actions have a positive impact on the people we interact with and care about.

But this sense of thinking can come back round to bite us in the arse. Especially when it comes to work.

So, to help you walk the fine line between ‘Negative Nancy’ and ‘Pushover Pete’, here is an article on how you can stop yourself being a people-pleaser (at home and at work).

But first, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page with this simple question…

Working in a virtual environment during “interesting times” has led to an abundance of employees burning out.

Sometimes, it’s even tough figuring out you’re going through burnout as you may end up blaming it on unrelated health factors, or just think you’re down with the flu.

But you might be wrong, an astounding two-thirds of full-time employees say they have experienced burnout at some point in their careers. With 3.32 billion workers worldwide, that amount of burnout is staggering, to say the least.

In this article, we look at the common signs of work burnout and tips for both employees and leaders on how you can avoid it getting out of hand.

In a time of constant flux, it seems like there’s a new threat to our collective consciousness around every corner.

The pandemic alone triggered a staggering 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide.

In this article, we look at how you can create psychological safety in the workplace and why leaders, of all walks of life, need to take it more seriously.

Show of hands: how many of you have a list of dream goals or experiences or achievements that you crave in your life? Maybe it’s an actual list, maybe it’s the stuff of your daydreaming and procrastination at your desk. Finding true love? Lying on a beach in the Seychelles? Making a million? Don’t get me wrong, I love a bucket list. But the danger comes when you are forever envisioning these items – like a carrot on a stick – as the things that will make you happy.

It just won’t let up. From leadership transitions and restructurings to mergers and acquisitions, to regulatory changes, to new working models, to new roles and new skills required to fill them, there is constant unrest in the workforce. However, according to one survey of more than half a million U.S. employees, almost one-third don’t understand why these changes are happening. That creates friction, fear and resistance.

Not simply among employees – but among leadership and HR teams too. This is no longer an option. The sustainability of your workforce depends on you bridging these gaps in understanding, and moving past these fears. All this fear, confusion, loss of confidence and butting heads – that’s how mistakes happen, how you lose creative sparks, lose sight of the bigger picture, and lose your mojo in general.

Picture this: A leadership development consultancy visiting an organisation for a workshop with the senior leaders. Except the first part of the process of developing leaders is to administer microdoses of psychedelics (amounts too small to incur hallucinations) to the whole team. Next, we wait a little while, perhaps engaging in a group meditation. Once everyone starts to feel an increased sense of awareness and openness to emotional connection, the workshop begins, focused on an out-of-the-box topic that would otherwise be off the table or not considered. Now, with a slightly altered state of mind, incredible new conversations and explorations can be had.

Sustainability doesn’t just mean looking after the environment. Those skills gaps are threatening our development as individuals, as businesses, and as a species. Enough time has been wasted. Start 2022 right, by nurturing a highly skilled talent base that can future-proof your business.
