Business Strategies

Can firms achieve bona fide advancement in the frequently opposing areas of team wellness and effectiveness? To find out about the latest innovations in team well-being and performance we speak with leadership mentor, Stuart Hayes. A former CEO Mr Fix it, Hayes found that addressing team wellbeing and performance issues together was the key to turning around the fortunes of underperforming companies. The first thing Hayes asks leaders to consider is the consequences of stress in the work place and the kinds of results that are possible when well-being is present:

Point One: Team Wellness

Tension as well as negative emotions have been known to contribute to dis-ease… in contrast individuals who are happier are both much healthier as well as have appreciation for the things they do;

Point Two: Workers influence on Public Relations

Stress, anxiety, negative emotions and the like can result in a lower sense of commitment in customer support … in contrast more pleased staff communicate far better with customers and are better champions of your brand; and last but not least,

Point Three: Being on Board with Business Strategy or Strategic Change Initiatives

Stressed or antagonistic teams are both less likely to align with the teams game plan and also at the same time they are more inclined to refrain from changes… whereas affirmative as well as happy team members are creative, curious, come up with advancements and also are usually much more accepting of both the current plan of action as well as any innovation.

Point Four: The state of Morale

Stress as well as negative emotions result in problems with turnover … whereas more satisfied people have a tendency to feel even more ‘related’ to both their workplace and also each other, as a consequence tend to stick around much longer;

Point Five: Workers Effectiveness

Stress, anxiety and bad feelings results in workers having their attention distracted and having reduced psychological clarity. In contrast more satisfied personnel have minds that are clearer and are a lot more switched on, intentional as well as innovative;

Then what’s the answer to alleviating stress and improving outcomes…

To really help staff to get a handle on tension and to achieve advances of the variety already listed, businesses are increasingly utilizing workplace wellbeing resources, however not all such projects are effective or translate into production returns. “Really though, generating enduring enhancements in both efficacy and also health and wellbeing requires a good deal more consideration compared to just allowing a little work versatility, using a health club subscription or hiring a wellbeing lecturer. These are in truth just ‘box ticking’ type remedies and aren’t going to suffice” states Hayes. It’s this ‘box ticking’ approach that’s the most prevalent reason wellbeing schemes fail.

“When you pause for a moment and think about it, achieving long-term progress in any specific aspect of life calls for an analysis of what exactly is taking place now, making a conscious long-term decision to adjust this, and then commencing a really targeted and structured journey.”

Hayes stresses that aiding teams to lift their enjoyment and experience of their job and the results they accomplish from their job is in fact, the same thing.

He continues:

“The objective should never be the establishment of a wellbeing program in and of itself. Preferably, it should be the formulation of a new culture in which accountability and wellness are foundations. What this denotes is that we take responsibility for changing the way our employees react to stress, anxiety as well as negative emotions, altering the manner in which our team is connected and interacts with each other, and making certain every person is naturally aligned to the organization’s higher intentions, all at the exact same time. This is the heart of an exceptional culture, including why leaders should certainly perceive themselves, above everything else, as guardians of the culture.”

A Recently available Study As is widely known, the practice of mindfulness is being successfully made use of by a large number of institutions to help staff accept and more effectively manage issues, stress as well as negative emotions. What hasn’t been so widely reported, though, is that our mind and heart continually engage with each other and that the heart can help shift a person’s emotions from unfavorable to favorable, or that our heart’s field what’s more makes a measurable influence on the people near us.

Based on his experience Stuart thinks this personifies the leading edge of H.R. development and leadership. “I find it to be funny in a number of ways, considering all of us have a heart, we all have a brain, and we all know these matters naturally, however the growing development of studies that shows our heart and mind work together is astonishing,” says Stuart, who has now devoted the better part of the last seven years researching this connection, the manner in which it is pertinent to the workplace as well as instructing people in ways to gain from it.

Contemplate these following points:

Point One:

When interacting with a good leader, an individual’s brainwaves will sync up with the leader. This is a result that does not happen when the same person talks with, for example, other people of their group. The impact of this enhances group engagement.

Point Two:

Both the brain and the heart radiate electromagnetic waves that are able to be measured, however the heart’s electromagnetic reach is markedly stronger.

Point Three:

The size of the heart’s field differs, in accordance with a person’s mental state; and last but not least,

Point Four:

The heart can be engaged in certain practices that measurably lift the impact of undesirable emotions both within an individual and also within those people who are near them, inducing alterations in both people. This is called ‘Bridging the heart and mind.’
