Lead with Care: Free Well-Being Resources to Support Your People

As we enter the third year of the pandemic, one thing is clear: a return to “normal” is nowhere near as anyone may have hoped. 

The pandemic ushered in a new era of company culture, where employees expect empathetic leaders who are flexible, compassionate, and trustworthy. Insights from Glint’s Employee Well-Being Report reveal that employees who feel cared for at work are:

• 3.2x more likely to be happy at work; and 
• 3.7x more likely to recommend working for their company

Moreover, LinkedIn Learning Hub user data shows that searches for well-being content have increased 50% compared to the last quarter. Against the Great Reshuffle, where people are seeking new career opportunities at record pace, organizational leadership can attract and retain talent by making care a top priority. 

Now is the time for L&D pros to equip their leadership and management teams with tools and resources with meaningful support. LinkedIn Learning can help.

4. Humane Productivity with Rahaf Harfoush

Working hard in pursuit of our goals is a hardwired belief that has led to productivity ideals that are unrealistic or even unattainable. In this course, Rahaf teaches you how to rethink productivity in order to build sustainable productivity practices that support your well-being, rather than drain you mentally or burn you out.
