Rise From Within, with Terri Pugh

128. Body confidence in the workplace, why it matters and how we can all help


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 128 of our podcast, "Body confidence in the workplace, why it matters and how we can all help". Today, I'm  going to delve into a sensitive yet crucial topic that affects many professionals: body confidence and its impact on workplace dynamics and personal performance. 

Let me take you through various aspects of body shaming and bias in professional environments, from subtle comments about food choices to explicit biases in job selections and office interactions.

I'll share some personal anecdotes and broader insights on how negative body image manifests in the workplace. We're talking ineffective diet competitions, poor relationships with food, and diminished self-esteem, all of which can profoundly affect one's career and mental health. 

Furthermore, I'll discuss the importance of fostering a supportive work culture that embraces diversity in body types and provides a safe space for mental health discussions.

Join me as I explore strategies to combat body shaming, promote body positivity, and create inclusive workplace policies.

Whether you're an employee, manager, or HR professional, there's much to learn about the significant role body confidence plays in shaping our professional lives.

I talk about my chat with Jenna Dale on her podcast, Because She Can.
