Wellbeing as a way of working life
Over the past 12 years, I've created hundreds of engaging pieces of content, from infographics to eye-catching imagery. Some even call me the "infographic man," and there are moments when people are surprised to find out I'm not some automated system but a real person behind the content.
You might have noticed that lately, my content has been leaning heavily towards pointing out what organisations are getting wrong in terms of workplace wellbeing. This shift stems from a deep frustration I have about businesses not fulfilling their potential to be a force for good. I strongly believe they should be doing more than just playing it safe and minimising harm.
As I sit here reflecting, I realise that pointing out what's wrong won't solve anything and will only add to my stress, as well as offer little help to those reading.
So, I'm challenging myself to shift gears. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, I'm committed to using this newsletter as a platform to promote positivity and provide practical insights on how organisations, leaders, managers, and team members can drive a culture of wellbeing and make it a part of working life.

I understand how busy work can get for everyone and that's why I want to emphasise that this isn't about adding more to your already overflowing plates. It's about making decisions that prioritise our wellbeing. We need to really think about how we can incorporate wellbeing into every aspect of daily preparation, performance and recovery. Let's make it a natural part of our daily routines, something that's woven into the fabric of every project we're involved in.
Together, let's create a workplace culture where taking care of ourselves isn't just an afterthought but a fundamental part of how we operate and succeed.

1 å¹´Employers have a "duty of care" to their employees, and "self-care kits" ought to be an essential part of every employee's survival kit in an intensely competitive work environment. You should know that you can take ten minutes to work out at your desk, if necessary, by doing a set of flutter kicks, squats, or bubble-blowing. Maybe choosing the correct activity at the right moment can result in the right outcome and lessen worry or an episode of increased blood pressure or anxiety attacks. I also suggest weekly, taking a hike at your favorite waterfall, learning to play an instrument, taking a hot bubble bath with epsom salts, or taking up a new hobby such as quilting. These are all appropriate pursuits that aid in breaking the pattern of experiencing sensations of being overburdened, undervalued, or overworked.

1 å¹´The essence of well-being is self-respect, which necessarily requires self-honesty. It has with it a sense of self-worth and self-significance, of empowerment to nurture one's mental, emotional and physical wellness.. It engenders acceptance of one's strengths and limitations, while showing a willingness to listen and learn, to ask questions without embarrassment, and to admit to not knowing. It allows unashamed admission of error, and responsibility for making amends. It allows well-formed opinions and well-held beliefs, with a willingness to improve them. It behoves honestly giving of one's best in any undertaking, It allows a person to complain when discomfited, uncomfortable, or offended. Self-respect leads to a natural, sincere show of respect to others. The power of example can be a template for others to follow Lies, deception, hypocrisy, sycophancy, favouritism, oppression, bullying, vituperation, sneering, abuse, nagging , nit-picking, pomposity, bombast, braggadacio, and other disrespectful, or discriminatory behaviours are not reflective of self-respect. Should others behave towards me in this manner, I would request that they desist. Phew!

1 年Well being as a way of being… that’s what it’s all about. And that’s all about everyone setting work up to be successful in a way that means everyone is clear it’s a commercial venture (unless it’s not!) and that in pursuit of that commercial success, there’s a desire for everyone to feel they’re physically, mentally, emotionally and expertly READY make their contribution. When people feel valued, ready and supported to keep going and keep growing, in the pursuit of an organisational success, then it’ll be hard for wellbeing not to be enhanced … and definitely never compromised.
