The secret to your well-being lies in stress-management

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.
  • Speak with a coach or participate in a leadership development program

Registration is now open for the PowerLEAD Development Training Program. This program supports leaders to increase leadership effectiveness and success in their role.

The Importance of Social Awareness and Practicing Empathy

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.

Improving Your Relationships Strengthens All Areas of Your Life

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.

How to improve your well-being by focusing on work-life balance

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.

Registration is now open for the PowerLEAD Development Training Program. This program supports leaders to increase leadership effectiveness and success in their role.

How to set clear expectations and give helpful feedback to your employees

Sometimes giving feedback to your employees can feel like a daunting task. If you think someone misunderstood your directives, this can cause frustration and distract you from being constructive. 

There are a few ways you can avoid this:

  •     Give an overview of expectations with your tasks until you feel the employee doesn’t need the reminder.
  •     If you give clear instructions and feel that your expectations aren’t met, have a follow up meeting with your employee to find out where the miscommunication happened.
  •     Try not to place blame, instead just explain that there must have been a miscommunication and explain what you need fixed.
  •     Always come from a place of trying to help your employees learn and become their best selves. Attacking people for their mistakes never helps anyone, it just leads to resentment and disengagement.

The main thing you need to do is stay consistent. Set an example and be a leader that employees can look to for guidance and follow as a mentor.

How to make employee engagement contagious

People tend to respond to others based on exchanged energy and the surrounding environment. If you want to create a workplace that fosters an engaging environment, you just need to keep a few things in mind. 

  •     Create teams made up of engaged and less engaged employees.
  •     Encourage engaged employees to address concerns with less engaged employees.
  •     Offer rewards for team members that show any form of improvement—the greater the improvement, the higher the reward.  

At the end of the day, you want to empower your engaged employees so their energy can be adopted by those who are less motivated and engaged. As long as you stay consistent with your efforts, you’re sure to see some improvement.

Reduce Your HR Issues with Improved Employee Engagement

Simply put, happier employees are easier to manage whereas unhappy, disinterested employees are more difficult. If you want to reduce workplace issues like firings and other unpleasant hassles, you’ll want to start by encouraging employee engagement.

When managing your teams, keep in mind:

·       People work better when they feel like what they’re doing means something.

·       Positive reinforcement is underestimated—and free.

·       Listen to employee feedback and make a genuine effort to attend to reasonable requests.  

When it comes to curating the right work environment, managers are responsible for much of the energy that envelops the office. With that in mind, you want to make sure you foster an environment that makes people want to return to work the next day, not savor every moment leading up to it.

To develop more strategies our Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.

Improve Your Work Teams with Great Employee Engagement

If you’re in charge of managing teams at work, you know how difficult things can get when people become distracted or lose interest in the topic at hand.

The reality is that not every work situation is necessarily interesting. However, to experience the benefits that come along with certain roles, you need to put in the work in other, less inviting areas. 

Reminders for Your Team

·       Try to pay attention and get questions answered the first time around—you’ll save yourself time and anxiety.

·       Teamwork truly is everything—if everyone contributes, tasks become easier for everyone.

·       Putting in effort from the beginning means you’ll have it easier later.

At the end of the day, you just need to make sure your team understands that they benefit from their own engagement. 

To develop more strategies our Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.
