A big part of being successful in any business is having the confidence to put yourself out there. If you ask anyone why they aren’t seizing a new opportunity, outside of logistics, the number one reason is probably fear. It’s amazing what some people would be able to accomplish if they didn’t struggle with a lack of confidence.
It isn’t just business that confidence is beneficial for, but your entire well-being.
You take better care of yourself when you feel more prideful.
You’re less likely to agree to things that aren’t beneficial to you in any way.
Lower your chances of burnout when you make more confident decisions.
Improve productivity with a heightened sense of purpose

Certain levels of stress can be healthy and move things in the direction they need to go. Other times, extreme levels of stress can be detrimental to your health and well-being.
We live in a very fast-moving world, and if you work in the service industry, it might feel like you’re never going to be fully caught up. If you want to set yourself up for success, it’s important to learn helpful stress-management skills.
To protect your well-being, consider the following anytime you’re feeling overwhelmed:
Focus on the task at hand—conserve your energy for what can be done now and try not to worry about what is out of your control, or future problems you have yet to deal with.
Self-awareness is key—the most effective way to improve your coping habits is to be transparent and honest with yourself. Evaluate your productivity and try to identify things that could be using up too much of your valuable time.

We can’t always expect to understand what people are thinking or experiencing, but it certainly helps to try. When you’re able to express greater levels of empathy, it cultivates a deeper sense of trust within your team. People are much more likely to engage with those they feel more comfortable with, and it leads to improved teamwork and collaboration.
Aside from that, empathy helps you form more well-rounded business strategies. You can’t expect to have any idea what kind of products or services to provide if you aren’t in touch with the needs of your customers. When you and your employees have a more united understanding of empathy and how to apply it in the workplace, everyone benefits from it.
To get your team on the right track for 2023, registration is now open for the foundational 6-week Positive Intelligence® Business Training Program. This program enables teams to maximize both performance and well-being simultaneously by focusing on the root-level muscles that impact both.
We all know how important communication is, so why don’t more people place that same level of importance on relationships? If you want to make a real impact, you need to do more than simply get a message across.
Understanding how to cultivate and maintain relationships within teams is crucial to the success of any business organization. So, it’s important that you give your employees the tools they need to show up as their best selves when they work for you. Improving relationships at work naturally puts people in a better position to succeed in other areas of their lives and often leads to heightened confidence and a stronger sense of self.
To get your team on the right track for 2023, registration is now open for the foundational 6-week Positive Intelligence® Business Training Program. In fact, 83% of participants reported improved self-confidence and 85% reported a significant increase in happiness.
For most employees, if you ask them to describe the last time they engaged in self-care, chances are they won’t be talking about a moment at work. Rather, time outside of work is much more likely to be associated with self-care and rejuvenating routines. However, times are changing, and companies are becoming more aware of their employees’ needs. It’s no secret that you work better when you feel more appreciated, so what better way to reach your employees than by helping them feel their best?
As a leader, it’s important to be aware of work culture and where things might need adjustments. At the end of the day, you’re creating an environment in which you expect people to spend the majority of their waking hours. Even if you manage a team remotely, you’re expecting them to pay attention and engage with their work in a meaningful way. The best way to begin is by evaluating your current work culture and figuring out where you can implement self-care practices for your employees.
Keep reading for some quick tips on creating a work culture that places a priority on self-care.
· Regular breaks: when employees feel tethered to their desks all day, it’s much more likely that they will engage in distracting, non-work-related activities.
· Get outside: Whether you are working remotely or in person, make sure everyone has an opportunity in their day to take a reprieve outdoors. This is especially important during the months when you experience better weather!
· Offer flexibility: If someone needs to come into work later but they’re willing to stay later, or come in earlier and leave earlier, try to accommodate them when it doesn’t interfere with the company’s needs. It might be a small gesture to you, but it will mean a lot to your employee and translate into their productivity. Similarly, if someone needs to take a longer lunch break to go to an appointment or something else, try to be flexible wherever it won’t affect you.
· Benefits that focus on self-care: If you can, try to give your employees perks that focus on self-care and mental health. Gym discounts and other perks can even attract candidates with the mindset you’re looking for.
The Bottom Line
At the end of the day, leaders are responsible for creating a work environment that supports the immediate needs of all staff members. Even if you don’t have any self-care-focused initiatives in place right now, there’s no better time to get started.
If you’re unsure of where to begin, reach out to your employees for feedback, you’ll be surprised how far your recognition of their needs will go. You might notice improved engagement right after you start to show an interest in their mental health and day-to-day experience.
Questions for leaders
1. What are you currently doing to promote self-care in the workplace?

No workplace is free of conflict, but it’s how you and your team manage it that matters. Poor conflict management can lead to:
Decrease in productivity
Low company morale
Increase in employee turnover (decrease in employee retention)
On the other hand, when you invest in conflict management education and give your team the right tools, you remove several barriers to productivity. With a well-rounded approach to conflict management, you can expect:
Improved team productivity
Positive work environment
Open communication
To get your team on the right track for 2023, registration is now open for the foundational 6-week Positive Intelligence® Business Training Program. In fact, 84% of participants reported that they felt significantly better at conflict management after starting the program, and 92% feel that they’re much better at teamwork and collaboration.
Even if you consider yourself a career-oriented person, it’s important to find a balance that allows you to participate in family and other social commitments.
According to a recent study, 32% of Canadians surveyed said they missed a lifestyle engagement because of work. The numbers are even higher for those in the hospitality industry when you consider the extensive weekend and holiday hour requirements.
While it’s true that having a strong work ethic can be healthy and admirable, it’s important to know when it’s time to take a break. You’re no good to your team and organization if you’re exhausted with burnout.
When you focus on balance, you’re much less likely to fall into cycles of burnout, meaning you’ll be able to show up as your best self in the workplace and anywhere else you want to be.
