How are you doing at work?

If I were to ask you how are you doing at work - how would you reply?

As a leader - or manager - if were to ask how are your staff doing at work - would you be able to answer accurately?

A new Deloitte study says the health of the workforce is improving. Yet many workers are saying they are more stressed, more overwhelmed and more unable to cope than ever.

The study says that more than 60% of employees and 75% of C suite - are ready to walk. Figures which are significantly higher than they were just last year. We have heard of 'Quiet Quitting" and the 'Big Resignation' - are leaders truly listening? The study appears to suggest not - with employees saying they feel worse than ever - and C-Suite saying workers wellbeing has improved. Something doesn't add up.

So let me ask again - how are you doing at work?

How are your staff doing? And how do you know?

Fast Company have said that less people are doing more work. Workers are saying they cannot keep it up. An interesting quote raises all sorts of questoins ot me:

"As many as 78% of top leaders said their company’s leaders should step down if they can’t maintain an acceptable level of workforce well-being, and 72% believe executives’ bonuses should be tied to workforce well-being metrics."

Are leaders really ready to be held accountable?

Or are they still just demanding MORE?

What has to happen for us to truly take wellbeing of staff seriously?

What would have to happen locally for a company to place it as a priority?

Will workers walk?

Will companies struggle to recruit new people?

Will we hold people responsible for ill health and even deaths through work?

Let's not wait. What can you do TODAY to begin to make a difference?

How can you display KINDNESS to your colleagues?

How can you express and act out true COMPASSION

How can you let your colleagues know you CARE?

And WILL YOU?
