Carewashing

By Admin • 21 Aug, 2024
As JUNE IS EMPLOYEE WELLNESS MONTH! Here an insightful article highlighting the issue of "carewashing" in corporate wellness programs. “Too many organizations with unsustainable “work hard, play hard” cultures believe that merely offering mindfulness training or yoga classes qualifies them as having a positive and safe culture. In reality, they are just checking the well-being box without addressing the underlying issues.” Companies that implement genuine wellness and mental health care initiatives lead to better outcomes for employees and the organization as a whole.

Quiet Vacationing

By Admin • 21 Aug, 2024
I’ve read several articles on “Quiet Vacationing,” and this one does the best job of explaining the underlying issue: “Anxiety is at the root of this practice.” -More than 30% of workers said they were “too anxious” to ask for time off. -About 30% of workers reported concerns about being laid off. -More than a third were worried about the time off itself: about 30% didn’t want to use their PTO, and about a quarter didn’t have any PTO to take. In my personal experience, many employees say they don’t take time off because they will have to make up the work or work a lot before leaving. They feel guilty about leaving work, burdening their colleagues, or facing a backlog of tasks upon their return. It's understandable that they try to get ahead of this and take a vacation while staying connected to work to avoid feeling guilty and overwhelmed. We help companies understand these trends and work to implement genuine wellness and mental health care initiatives that lead to better outcomes for employees and the organization as a whole. Our approach ensures that wellness programs are integrated into the company culture, providing real support and fostering a truly positive and safe work environment.

Battle of the Thermostat

By Admin • 21 Aug, 2024
We are in the midst of a nationwide heatwave, and although I feel grateful to have an office with AC, the temperature is often too cold. This is not the first time, when I worked at a mental health clinic, the summers felt like winter with the office temperature often reading 65 degrees (yes, we had to use a thermometer to advocate for a more comfortable temperature!). I often had to wear sweaters and use a blanket to feel comfortable while working. Studies have shown that women tend to feel colder at work called compared to men, which can lead to discomfort and decreased productivity. On the other hand, men often prefer cooler temperatures and might find when it’s warmer it’s more challenging to focus and impacts productivity. This difference is often due to variations in metabolic rates and body composition. Understanding these differences is crucial for creating a comfortable and productive work environment for everyone. Employers should consider setting office temperatures that accommodate both genders, or providing flexible solutions such as personal fans or space heaters. As we continue to experience extreme weather, it's important to be mindful of how indoor temperatures affect our well-being and productivity. By acknowledging and addressing these differences, we can create a more inclusive and comfortable workplace for all! hashtag #employeewellness #workplacewellness
