Employee mental health has been at the epicenter of discussions on the future of work for many years, with the COVID-19 pandemic only intensifying this focus. As a result, employee engagement, stress, and burnout have begun to dominate reports on the state of the workplace.
With the spotlight on the importance of creating a workplace that supports employee wellbeing shining brighter than ever before, it’s clear that managers need to take action. But the question becomes, where do you begin?
“ What if you could create a culture of Gratitude? Not only would you be offering something truly beneficial to your community to encourage them to slow down and find Gratitude in their daily life (not to mention with potential for better sleep, less stress, and stronger immune systems). Those benefits start with the individual and spiral up to benefit you as the business leader, manager, and organization as a whole. ”
BUILDING A CULTURE OF GRATITUDE
Employees are Burned Out. Workspace burnout is real.
Burnout in corporations often arises from prolonged workplace stress, limited support systems, unrealistic expectations, and poor work-life balance. These challenges, coupled with a sense of disconnection from organizational values, can lead to workspace burnout and significant emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion. Recognizing employee burnout signs early is crucial to addressing these issues before they impact overall productivity. Implementing effective corporate employee wellness programs can help foster a supportive environment, reduce stress, and prioritize employee wellbeing, ensuring a healthier and more engaged workforce.
According to the American
Psychological Association’s 2021 Work and Wellbeing Survey
3 in 5 workers reported experiencing negative mental and physical impacts due to work- related stress
Workplace Burnout is Increasing
76% of respondents in a Mental Health America and FlexJobs study agreed that workplace stress affects their mental health, and 75% experienced burnout
Stress is still extremly high post pandemic
Gallup’s 2023 State of the Global Workplace report has suggested that, while the world is recovering from the impact of the pandemic, employees are still experiencing record-high stress levels. 44% of respondents said they experienced a lot of stress the day prior, showing no change from the previous year
A survey conducted by the American Institute of Stress found that 80% of workers feel stressed on the job, with 40% citing their job as "very or extremely stressful, this stress costs US businesses an estimated $300 billion a year in lost productivity." It's crucial to
address this issue and learn how to manage stress to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
