Grief in the Workplace – Creating an Empathic Leadership Approach

Grief can come from experiencing a range of circumstances; not only personal family, friends or loved ones but also ‘professional’ such as the loss of colleagues, clients, patients or customers. Another area which is sometimes overlooked is that of ‘anticipatory’ grief where there is a diagnosis of terminal illness or a chronic condition.

Employee Burnout: The Second Pandemic

Are you working from home or living at work? In the current climate, you could be forgiven for struggling to differentiate between the two. Whether it be increasing professional demands, 24/7 access to work emails, or simply still trying to figure out the nuances of Zoom, our professional and personal identities have become ever more intertwined, and whilst we could be lauded (and rightly so) for going above and beyond to ensure our businesses continue to thrive in the face of adversity, we must not forget to also respond appropriately to the internal messages being provided by our body, with the subject title - “Warning: burnout imminent”.

Exploring Servant Leadership

Whilst the fulfilment of a company’s strategic objectives very much remains the modus operandi of the modern manager, should it be regarded as their central focus? Of course, the success and survival of a business is very much dependant on the capacity of its workforce to deliver its overarching mission and vision, however, at time when issues surrounding employee engagement and wellbeing are considered increasingly pressing priorities on the corporate agenda, have we perhaps become guilty of putting processes before people, and simply focusing on what is required for our business to be successful, as opposed to the people within it?

Let’s Talk About Job Crafting

Cast your mind back to your first day at work. As you took those tentative first steps into your new office (or logged onto that first Zoom meeting) how did you feel? Many of us may perhaps find it difficult to accurately articulate the unique combination of trepidation, uncertainty, and excitement we experience when first immersing ourselves within a new working environment, or the unbridled sense of optimism that accompanies us as we embark on a new professional challenge.

Corporate Social Responsibility: What, Why, and How

Make no mistake, a good reputation is synonymous with business success and survival. In a progressively ethically conscious age, organisations are becoming increasingly mindful that their reputation is no longer simply dependent on providing superior products and services but also the demonstration of a commitment to building a better society.

The beauty of Cultural Diversity - Share culture, bridge the gap

Culture is a broad term that encompasses beliefs, values, norms, behaviours, and overall can be understood as our “way of being” – it is that which shapes us and our identity. The world is a vibrant canvas of people from all backgrounds and walks of life and in every corner of the globe there exist people from different religions, racial identifications, ethnic identities who speak various languages, have specific traditions and celebrate different holidays. Whilst there is a beauty associated with this, the struggle for it to be fully appreciated remains to be a challenge.

Workplace Wellbeing: A Transformational Leadership Perspective

With more time, money, and energy being invested into our employees’ mental health than ever before, we may well be on the cusp of a workplace wellbeing revolution. Nonetheless, for us to truly ensure employee wellbeing becomes a staple of our organisational strategy (as opposed to a corporate check box we feel inclined to pay lip service to) it’s imperative we explore what, or more specifically who, may prove pivotal in guiding the success of our wellbeing-based initiatives.
