  • EP 637 – Promoting Productivity While Working From Home
    As a leader, are you having trouble adjusting to your team working remotely?
    We know that how we do our work is changing and so is the way that we are working as a team.
    As a leader, you may be biased against having your team work remotely and this may be causing them and you more stress than it needs to.
    Do you find yourself thinking that your team is not as productive as they would be if they were all in one location?
    This bias may be from thinking that it is difficult to confirm if an employee is performing adequately – if I can see them, then how do I know what they are doing?
    Or, it may be around inconveniences in communication. What if there is a problem, how will I get a hold of them?
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating World Productivity Day:
    Start by asking yourself a few basic questions.
    What do I need to let go of to see this as an opportunity for my team and myself?
    Is a lack of trust or the need for control possibly holding me back from fully embracing this opportunity?
    And if the answer is yes, how can I build more trust within my team or how can I satisfy my need for control while making the need for working remotely work for everyone?
    What are the resources that will make working from home more effective and efficient for my team? It may take a bit of a learning curve, but the time investment in these resources, can dramatically increase productivity.
    What guidelines do we need to ensure that we have effective communication, without losing the opportunity for informal collaboration and brainstorming?
    Finally, ask yourself if I am creating an environment were my team feels safe in bringing up challenges and voicing an alternate opinion.
    If you’ve been reluctant in embracing the opportunities that come from working from home, you may owe it to your team to address these biases.
    Remember, If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 636 – Take Back Your Lunch Break
    It is time to take make sure that we take our lunch break. 
    North American workers who take a lunch break every day scored higher on a wide range of engagement metrics, including job satisfaction, likelihood to continue working at the same company, and likelihood to recommend their employer to others.
    And though we would like to blame others for not taking our lunch break, that doesn’t seem to be the case in reality.
    It seems that our workload is a much greater influence on whether or not we take a lunch break than our boss or company policy. And if we do eat, we tend to stay at our desks and nibble while we work.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Take Back The Lunch Break Day:
    Know that it is essential to take that lunch break in order to maintain your energy and productivity.
    38% of employees don’t feel encouraged to take a lunch break.
    It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure healthy habits within the workplace. 
    So, invite a friend to go for a lunchtime walk. The light break and exercise will boost your mental health and your immunity.
    If you are the boss, model healthy habits by not calling lunch time meetings.
    Encourage your team to leave their desks for lunch.
    Prolonged sitting is a health risk, so get up, stretch, grab something to eat, and change the scenery.
    Your mind and body will thank you.

  • EP 635 – Why It’s Time To Break For Recess
    I remember running out of the school double doors to get to the swing first.
    We all hated when it rained, and we had to stay indoors in the classroom reading quietly.
    Recess was the best part of my school day. In fact, we know from our research that school children who receive more recess time behaved better and were likely to learn more. But recess time is declining. Since the 1970s, children have lost about 12 hours per week in free time. And adults are suffering too.
    In our workplace we don’t call it recess, we call it break time. And according to research, 1 in 4 of us barely even get up from our desk to go for a bio break, let alone get outside. There is no excitement. No energy. And almost certainly, no fun.
    When we don’t take a break we create a stressful workplace. And when we don’t restore our energy, we are setting ourselves and our companies up for higher stress, lower morale and engagement, poor creativity and employee performance issues.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Recess At Work Day:
    Change your mindset. Breaks are a necessity, not a luxury. Workers who failed to take breaks were at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
    A recess mind-set is an opportunity to build resiliency, create team spirit, engage employees, increase morale, improve health and wellness and share some fun with those that you work with.
    So, What are you favourite workplace fun activities?

  • EP 634 – Stay Safe
    I have done it. And I have watched others do it. You get caught up or too busy and you stop paying attention to what is right in front of you and BOOM, you walk right into that wall, post, or obstacle.
    Injuries are one of the leading causes of death for those ages 1 to 44. The good news is there are many things people can do to stay safe and prevent injuries. Hazards exist, but creating a culture of safety protects and defends against those hazards.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Safety Month at your workplace:
    What is the No. 2 cause of nonfatal disabling injury, in the workplace, following overexertion? Is it
    Improper use of protective equipment
    Stress
    Improper ergonomics or
    Slips, trips and falls
     
    You guessed it, it is slips, trips and falls.
     
    In your workplace, look to bring additional awareness to these hazards during the Safety Month by:
    Holding a safety trivia contest
    Making an activity out of identifying hazards where you work and live
    Hosting a safety fair, lunch 'n learn or celebratory luncheon
    Provide additional safety training
    Finally, stay safe by being more aware of your surroundings. Be present and get rid of distractions.

  • EP  633 – Different Ways Of Handling Stress
    Men tend to deal with stress differently than women. 
    Women tend to share, while men tend to bottle the stress up inside of them.  This can eat away at them causing high blood pressure, gastrointestinal issues, sleep issues and a loss of perspective.  According to the Centers for Disease Control, men die at higher rates than women from the top 10 causes of death, with stress being one of them.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Men’s Health Week:
    Men need to develop positive outlets to relieve their stress while they are at work.
    Many men suffer from ‘terminal seriousness’ in the workplace.  Terminal seriousness can hamper communication, problem solving and teamwork.  So incorporate a play break and have fun. This break can help to increase productivity and creativity, while decreasing stress.
    The purpose of Men’s Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.  Finding outlets to work out stress throughout the day, such as squeezing that stress ball or throwing that paper airplane, can prevent stress from building and negatively impacting your health.
    Lighten up and play – your body and mind will thank you.
