  • Embracing Connections and Managing Relationships

    Welcome to the True Talk Café Podcast S3 Ep. 5 - Embracing Connections and Managing Relationships
    Show agenda:
    Are your connections and relationships healthy or toxic?
    When people are socially connected and have stable and supportive relationships, they are more likely to make healthy choices and to have better mental and physical health outcomes. They are also better able to cope with hard times, stress, anxiety, and depression.
    Since May is Mental Health month, the pod crew will delve deeper into this important topic.


    Questions

    • How do you recognize the signs of an unhealthy work relationship or toxic work behavior? Can you share a personal experience where you had to deal with a toxic work relationship? What was the impact on your mental and emotional health? 
    • Can you share a story about a meaningful connection you've made in your professional or personal life? How did it impact you? 
    • How do you set and maintain boundaries to protect your mental and emotional health in the workplace?
    • How do you set and maintain boundaries to protect your mental and emotional health in the workplace? 

      • Stress Statistics:
      Recent findings from APA’s 2023 Work in America Survey shed light on the prevalence and consequences of workplace toxicity:
      1.    More than one in five (22%) workers experience harm to their mental health while on the job.
      2.    More than one in five (22%) of employees experienced harassment in the last year, up from 14% in 2022.
      Workplace toxicity takes on different shades across industries and job functions:

      3.    Customer service positions (31% of respondents) report higher verbal abuse rates compared to manual laborers (23%) and office workers (22%).
      The survey also underscores the gravity of workplace discrimination and derogatory behaviors:

      4.    More than one in five (22%) employees witness discrimination in their workplace, and 15% have experienced it.
      5.    More than one in five (22%) employees witness discrimination in their workplace, and 15% have experienced it.
      By initiating several proactive strategies, employers have the potential to not only safeguard employee mental well-being but also foster a more harmonious work environment:
      Apply The U.S. Surgeon General’s Framework – 5 essential elements to support employee’s mental health and well-being:

      1.     Protection from harm 
      ·        Safety and security
      2.     Opportunity for growth 
      ·        Learning and accomplishment
      3.     Mattering at work
      ·        Dignity and meaning
      4.     Work-life harmony 
      ·        Autonomy and flexibility)
      5.     Connection and community
      ·        Social support and belonging
      Summary

      In summary, in the battle against workplace toxicity, mutual responsibility between employers and employees stands as a cornerstone. The symbiotic relationship between employer and employee builds a workplace culture that thrives on safety, trust, and a commitment to everyone’s welfare.

            1.     Productivity Loss: According to the American Institute of Stress, workplace stress costs U.S. employers approximately $300 billion annually in lost productivity.
            2.    Absenteeism: Stress is a leading cause of absenteeism. The World Health Organization estimates that stress-related absenteeism costs companies $300 billion per year in the United States alone.
            3.    Health Costs: Employees experiencing high levels of stress are more likely to have health issues such as heart disease, obesity, and depression. This can lead to increased healthcare costs for both employees and employers.
            4.    Turnover: Stressful work environments contribute to higher turnover rates. The American Psychological Association reports that 25% of employees have left a job due to stress, with 46% citing workload as the primary stressor.
            5.     Impact on Mental Health: Stress in the workplace can significantly impact mental health. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) states that job stress is associated with a range of mental health issues, including anxiety and burnout.
            6.     Effect on Engagement: High levels of stress can lower employee engagement and morale. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that 55% of employees reported feeling less productive at work due to stress.

                                      1. Identify the colleagues you want to prioritize

                                        2.    - Start with a reasonable number of targets (3-5 is a good start).   - Start with people you currently have tense or strained relationships


                                        2. Schedule virtual coffee:
                                            - This may be the only opportunity you have to connect due to remote working.
                                            - Focus on getting to know each other or share more information about what you’re working on.


                                        3. Commit to ongoing discussions:
                                            - After your virtual coffee meeting, discuss how you will maintain communication in the future.
                                            - Attend industry events, webinars, and networking meet-ups.
                                            - Inform your network about your availability and skills.

                                        In summary, these days, many of us work on highly matrixed, cross-functional teams. Team members may be distributed across offices, states, or even the world, making difficult to build the types of trusted relationships required to grow your visibility and influence within your organization.  The key is to be intentional and consistent.

                                                                                                          • Reflect on your satisfaction with your current position.

                                                                                                          • Create a vision board.
                                                                                                          • Prioritize your focus & set effective career goals.
                                                                                                          • Revisit your self-audit on a regular basis.

                                                                                                            • Summary

                                                                                                            In summary, remember, a self-audit is a continuous process, and it’s okay to take things one step at a time. Don’t be afraid to seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional if you need it. With a little effort and patience, you can make positive changes that will enhance your career.
