Wellbeing to Improve Team Performance
Overview
Nowadays, leadership and wellness go hand in hand. Research by both Deloitte and Gallup support this conclusion, showing that greater wellbeing affects individual and team performance through employee attitudes, motivation, and behavior. The challenge for organisational and team leaders is knowing how to maximize both wellbeing and performance.
Combining strengths and wellbeing at work is potentially the most transformational treatment yet in the urgent pursuit of resiliency, mental health and ultimately, net thriving."
Jim Harter - Chief Scientist for Gallup’s "Workplace Management and Wellbeing Practices
Leaders highly influence organisational culture. Therefore, there must be a foundation of wellbeing in the workplace, where leaders (through modelled behaviour) must discuss and promote wellbeing as the norm, so that their employees will get more involved in wellbeing activities.
The "Wellbeing to Improve Team Performance" workshop explores four areas:
Body – Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep.
Mind – Being present, Learning mindset, Being mindful.
Purpose – Engagement, Contribution, Values.
Heart – Inclusion, Unconscious bias, Happiness habits.
When we take care of these four areas, we will find ourselves much more energized and better suited to lead organisations, engage in our work, and create workplace environments that have a wellness strong foundation.
The intention of "Wellbeing to Improve Team Performance" is to optimise and lift team energy levels and, therefore, support contributions made to foster new processes and ways of working. At an individual level, this programme helps employees identify and focus on their personal opportunities for improving their wellbeing at work for higher performance.
Well-being cannot exist just in your own head. Well-being is a combination of feeling good as well as actually having meaning, good relationships and accomplishment."
Martin Seligman - American Psychologist, Educator & Author
