The science of being happy at work
“How to be happy?” is one of life’s greatest questions. Taking it a step further is the task of unravelling the science of happiness at work. It’s normal to see work as a means to an end, but there’s evidence to show that happy employees perform better at work.
In Brief: Soundbites from THRIVING LEADERS FORUM | Session 1
In the inaugural session of the Thriving Leaders Series, four industry experts gathered to discuss “Geo-politics and supply chain implications for organisations and workforce planning”, Here are some key highlights from the session.
Is happiness attainable?
Like any aspect of wellness, happiness is a constant work in progress. Question is, if it’s so fleeting, why do we strive so hard for it? And if we aren’t happy all the time, does that mean we’re unhappy?
Diversity and inclusion: Getting it right
Diversity and inclusion: Getting it right. Join us as we dive into the benefits of a diverse and inclusive workplace, sharing our insights along the way.
Why workplaces need to be more supportive of working dads
While some countries, particularly in northern Europe, are striving to normalise concepts such as generous paternity breaks, the journey is far from over. The world’s employers need to make dads feel as supported as they do mums (a situation that is also a work in progress) for an overall healthy workforce.
Keeping unconscious bias at bay
Bias is the tendency to believe that some people and ideas are better than others. Unconscious bias is a hot-button topic that comes up more and more frequently, largely because of the growing awareness around the issue - a key first step towards combating it. But eradicating unconscious bias is a long road and will require a herculean, conscious effort.
Why self-care is essential to work-life balance
Setting boundaries at work is often hard to do, especially if it’s frowned upon at certain organizations. That makes it hard to address the impact of not having them - or worse yet, chronically breaking unspoken, unclear ones. Yet, they are a must for long-term self-preservation - and for better productivity.
Mastering the art of appreciation
With Employee Appreciation Day taking place on 4 March and International Women’s Day on 8 March, it’s only timely that we dive into the topics of acknowledgement and appreciation - both which lie at the heart of these two important occasions.
Why maintaining boundaries requires the right support system
In a recent edition of 'Thrive in 5', we discussed the importance of self-care and setting boundaries at work as a way to prioritise well-being. We also acknowledged that doing this isn’t always easy - and, as a matter of fact, is a tough task for many. That's why enlisting the right kind of support - from family, friends, co-workers, or even your manager - is key. Don’t wind up putting yourself on the back-burner - we got you.
Master the art of giving and receiving feedback
Feedback is one of the most powerful tools any individual possesses to bring about change - but it needs to be done right. Here’s how everyone can give and receive feedback in a way that promotes growth and positivity without tarnishing the relationship.
Give it a break, literally. It’s Global Wellness Day!
Why prioritising employee wellbeing is a win-win. Although the terms “health” and “wellness” are often used interchangeably, the latter is a more active and process-oriented pursuit compared to health, which is a state of being. With Global Wellness Day coming up on 11 June, we’re shining a light on wellness and ways to live a healthier life.
