Today’s #BoardQuestionOfTheDay is "How are we addressing the growing employee expectation for robust mental health and well-being support in our workplace?" Today's employees increasingly prioritize mental health and well-being as key factors when choosing and staying with an employer. This question compels the board to consider how the company is responding to this shift in employee expectations. It's crucial to evaluate whether the organization's current initiatives in mental health and well-being are in line with what modern employees seek in a supportive and health-conscious workplace. Are there effective measures for stress management, flexible work policies, and accessible mental health resources? How is the organization fostering a culture where mental health is openly discussed and integrated into the broader framework of employee benefits and support systems? This inquiry also explores how these programs are communicated, ensuring they are not only available but also actively promoted and embraced within the company culture. Addressing this aspect of employee needs is not only a matter of social responsibility but also a strategic approach to attracting and retaining top talent, thereby enhancing overall organizational performance and resilience.   #BoardQuestionOfTheDay, #BusinessLeadership, #CorporateGovernance, #StrategicThinking, #BoardMembers, #CEOs, #Executives, #CorporateStrategy, #Leadership, #BusinessInsights, #Innovation, #Management, #BusinessGrowth #governance #ESG #mentalhealth

No way is this a one minute read. But for leaders contemplating their teams' engagement and impact it's worth the five minutes it took me, and perhaps another half an hour to contemplate what you might do about some of the risk and protective factors that are in play within your organisation. Some great insights on drivers of positive and negative outcomes, the role of the workplace in driving wellbeing, engagement and performance, and the value (and challenge) of systemic interventions - while burnout is experienced by individuals, organisational dynamics are in the driver's seat. I love the line that as an employer "...you can’t “yoga” your way out of these challenges." Blessedly bereft of silver bullets, but some excellent, searching prompts towards the tail end of the article: e.g. employee mental health and wellbeing as a strategic priority, addressing various behaviours known to drive negative outcomes, support for individual growth, role design and sustainability, leadership accountability, and so on. The responses will look very different across government departments, smaller public agencies, larger non-profits etc but they're worth feeding into conversations about strategy, operating models and the ways your teams work together - especially if trimming FTE and staffing costs is your current preoccupation. Even small changes offer so much opportunity for improved engagement, performance and impact.

Incredible! Still a lot of work to do for well-being in organizations and also in our day by day. Which is your driver? So important to think about it and take action and leadership to drive out the causes of negative workplace environments. #wellbeing #wellbeingatwork #changeleadership

Burnout is not just an individual issue. It is an organizational issue that eats away at people's ability to be focused, productive, and achieve their true potential at work. Our team at Work Time Reduction have been working alongside John Chan, Ph.D. Sally Clarke and Amanda Cebrián, CPHR on this year's State of Workplace Burnout study, one of the world's most comprehensive longitudinal studies on employee burnout. For the first time, we will have robust comparative data on the impact of structured #WorkTimeReduction models on burnout. The report will be launching next Tuesday, February 13th at 5pm ET. We hope you can join us. Link in the comments below 👇 #Burnout #Productivity #ShorterWorkWeek #WorkplaceWellbeing

In today's world, work and life are intertwined, and mental health challenges are a part of that equation. It's time to acknowledge this fact and create a safe space for employees to discuss their struggles. Here's why it matters: 1. Improved Employee Well-being: Creating a platform for discussing mental health issues not only benefits individual employees but also contributes to the overall well-being of the team. It can help reduce the stigma around mental health, leading to a happier and healthier workforce. 2. Increased Employee Productivity: When employees feel safe discussing their struggles, they can address issues before they escalate. This can prevent prolonged absences and dips in productivity, ultimately benefiting the company. 3. Stronger Team Dynamics: Encouraging employees to share their challenges fosters a sense of camaraderie and support among team members. It strengthens the bonds between employees and can lead to a more collaborative and compassionate work culture. Managers should embrace these conversations rather than fear them. Openly discussing mental health issues allows managers to offer appropriate support and resources, helping employees overcome challenges effectively. It's a win-win for both the individual and the organization. Let's create a workplace where every employee's well-being is a priority.
