Happy National Hug Day! As we celebrate the day, we’re exploring how hugging can be good for business - if used wisely.
Human beings are social creatures. We have an inherent need to feel like we belong, that our decisions are validated and as entrepreneurs, that our business ideas are well received.
That being said, how appropriate is hugging in the workplace? Should it be something we do more of, or is it seen as showing ‘too much’ affection? Find out here.
At Calmer, we believe a happy mind makes for a happy business. This is especially true of start-ups and SMEs, who rely on a small yet effective set of people to keep the business functioning.
Before work properly starts, take some time to consider your business’ wellbeing strategy for the year with this guide.
We all know what it’s like to feel like we’re struggling, and at the same time we also know what it’s like to feel positive. You could look at the term ‘Mental Health’ as a spectrum, just like the state of our physical health can fluctuate, so can the state of our mental health – which means there are some days where you’ll feel great and some days perhaps not so great. This is part of the human experience.
We all have that moment as entrepreneurs, where the initial excitement about starting a business takes over and it feels like you’re embarking on a life-changing adventure. No doubt, you are certainly in for an adventure…!
But then there’s the inevitable realisation after a period of time, when it hits you – just how much work, time, energy, consistency, effort, and management is involved. It takes a great deal of determination, motivation and patience (to name a few) to grow a business.
