These days, conversation around the importance of mental health is fairly prominent in the media, with a greater focus on what we can do to take care of our mental health and wellbeing, as well as our physical health. But taking care of our wellbeing doesn’t always require huge life changes, personal effort or great expense. Something as simple as writing can relieve stress, reduce anxiety, and help with depression.
The wellness industry has long been on the rise and continues to grow in popularity, with more people incorporating practices like Mindfulness, exercise and connecting with nature into their daily routines and personal lives.
More recently, the effects of the global coronavirus pandemic, several country-wide lockdowns and less time spent socialising have further contributed to the rise of wellness, with more people making a conscious effort focusing on their wellbeing as a priority.
So, how does this translate to the workplace? And what could you do to improve and support employee wellbeing in your own organisation?
