IT STARTS WITH YOU
“Belonging work is actually the heart of real leadership.”
-Brenè Brown, Dare to Lead
Based on that data, leaders might choose to
- Provide learning on wellness practices that employees and teams can use during their time at work.
- Model the use of wellness practices during their workday
- Provide time to learn and utilize these practices
- Embed gratitude and recognition into the workday
As leaders of organizations, large and small, ask yourself…
- Do you have the practices to help you determine the needs of your workforce?
- Do your employees use the practices provided during a one-day wellness workshop?
- Are you maxed out with no time to research wellness practices that could make a difference for your employees?
Courageous Workforce Services include resources to address all these concerns while providing you and your staff with guidance and practices to increase wellness and a resilient culture.
Here is one example of an evidence-based practice well respected in the wellness world and found in the Courageous Workforce Toolbox…
Leaders have the power to set a positive culture within their teams and organizations. By listening, responding, recognizing and supporting all employees, they help employees feel valued. Funds available to pay and provide adequate benefits are not always factors that can be controlled. Attitudes, interactions and actions can be controlled. Research has shown that people who feel psychologically safe can focus and be more productive. They stay in positions longer and feel cared for. A positive, supportive and realistic approach of an organization is critical to that level of safety. Employees are ready for a mentally healthy work environment.
Ensuring workers with emotional, physical, and psychological safety requires paying attention to their individual wellness and engagement and the wellness of the whole organization. To discern the state of individual and organizational wellbeing, leaders can take every opportunity to listen to what employees are saying about their own needs and utilize the culture survey to gather anonymous data from all employees.
