💼 Both the ILO and World Health Organization (WHO) recognize that work-related stress and burnout are #collectivechallenges we all face today. 🧠 Safe and healthy #workingenvironments are not only a fundamental right but are also key to reducing tension and conflicts at work, and improving staff retention, work performance, and productivity. At Climate Horizons, we’ve been reflecting on the best way to approach #mentalhealth and #stressmanagement. We’ve found that creating an environment where these topics can be discussed openly—without fear of judgment—makes a real difference, even though we know it doesn’t solve everything. Wondering what we could do to prevent burnout and promote mental health in the workplace, here's what we’ve tried: 🧘 Encourage the team to slow down when needed and ensure that absolutely no one is contacted while on leave. #Disconnecting fully is crucial. 📚 Invest in training to help everyone better understand where #stress comes from, how to recognize personal triggers, and how to manage them in a healthy way. 🔄 Reframe stress as something to use constructively—and help the team recognize when it’s time to take a break rather than simply "getting used to it." 💡 We’re still learning, but by incorporating practices that focus on #wellbeing, we’ve seen positive changes in #creativity and #productivity. We’re curious—what do you do in your workplace to manage stress and support mental health? How do you encourage your team to take time off and disconnect? Any successful tip to share?
Is Your Job Supporting Your Well-being? Do you feel valued, supported in your mental health and growth, and fairly rewarded? If your answer is YES, you’re one of the fortunate few. According to the 2024 "People at Work" survey by ADP, only 21% of employees feel they receive adequate emotional support from their employers. This lack of support impacts motivation, turnover, and overall performance. But there's good news: companies can foster a more inclusive and positive culture by introducing flexibility, psychological support, and stress-management practices like team building. These steps can lead to a motivated, healthier, and happier workforce. I was recently chosen by Climate Horizons, a forward-thinking startup committed to reshaping the future, to lead a stress-management team-building session in London, incorporating a somatic approach. Together, we explored: - Where our stress responses originate - Understanding your unique stress triggers and how to use them constructively - Why "getting used to" stress is counterproductive - How somatic practices can enhance well-being, creativity, and productivity After an interactive hour of theory, each team member experienced a 30-minute Access Bars session—a light-touch technique on the head, similar to meditation, offering deep relaxation. This practice supports peak performance and helps prevent burnout. Here’s what one participant had to say: "The session was clear and insightful. It helped me focus on the physical effects of stress and incorporate short, restorative practices into my daily routine." Are you looking to support your team’s well-being and resilience? Let’s connect and make it happen.
