Episode 70: Leaders Take Care
Point 1: Address the Need for Wellbeing
70% of Americans feel that the nation doesn't care for them, and 38% are considering moving abroad due to concerns about their human rights. (American Psychological Association)
Gallup's "State of the Global Workplace" report reveals that 57% of U.S and Canadian workers experience regular stress, impacting their performance and satisfaction.
Leaders need to understand the real costs of workplace stress.
Leaders set goals.
Writing out goals solidifies them.
Point 2: Promote Wellbeing in Your Team Culture
Leaders should always be promoting wellbeing within their organizations. Foster a culture of empathy and support,
Provide resources and programs to help employees manage stress
Recognize employees who are happy and healthy are more engaged and likely to perform at their best.
When it comes to work life balance, you as the leader have to lead the way. Take care of your people and take care of yourself.
