Resilience
Building Integral Resilience
Help your employees develop the coping skills they need to prevent burnout and promote physical, mental and emotional wellness.
Workers globally are suffering from a burnout epidemic and the consequences are evidenced in several fronts:
Hyper-productivity, often driven by fear of job loss, is leading to burnout and chronic fatigue.
Remote work has blurred the boundaries between work and personal time and space so people feel like they never have a break from either.
Isolation has had an impact on people’s emotional state generating feelings of loneliness and driving compulsive behaviors like overeating, drinking, smoking and excessive sedentarism.
As a consequence, there is now a heightened awareness about the link between work and health leading many workers to rethink their priorities and wonder: at the end, are all these sacrifices worth it? Decidedly, money is not a driver of loyalty and many workers are quitting or actively searching for opportunities that allow for better alignment with what they value now.
For leaders and HR managers it can be hard to detect a distressed employee or brewing conflicts among teammates early enough to take preventive action. Additionally, reaching out to collaborators in order to promote a sense of belonging to a team and an organization is more challenging in remote or distributed work.
Wellness and performance go hand in hand in making an organization successful but bringing them together in today’s workplace is increasingly challenging.
Most corporate wellness programs fail to deliver long-term, sustainable results for the following reasons:
Tunnel vision
People aren’t fragmented. Body, mind and emotions are interrelated and influence people in an integral way.
Inertia
We tend to repeat undesirable behaviors that are firmly programmed in the brain and imprinted in the body, making pure motivation unsustainable.
Isolation
People often feel alone and impotent against the challenges they face.
Double wound
The initial problem is magnified when people blame themselves for their weakness and lack of willpower.
The problem with willpower:
Consciousness has the Will but the Subconscious has the Power
The Real Challenge
Great theories are everywhere but the real challenge for people and organizations is not only knowing what to do but how to implement sustainable, long-term or permanent behavioral change. Everyone that is overweight knows about diets, it isn’t lack of knowledge that prevents them from losing weight.
