Workplace Wellness


Book Description

Don't let your job get the better of you! Learn how to maximize your workplace well-being with this practical guide's 100+ exercises and writing prompts. It's a universal truth that most of us have to work to earn a living. That means we spend about one-third of our lives at work. Put another way, the average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over the course of their lifetime. And if workplace TikToks and memes are to be believed, not very many of us love our jobs. So how do we improve the way we see and experience this very important aspect of our lives? The phrases "employee wellness" and "employee assistance program" have been trendy in companies of all sizes, as managers realize that healthy employees have: fewer healthcare costs; take fewer sick leaves; face less stress and burnout; tend to stay in their jobs longer; have better productivity. But companies can only do so much. While 80% of employers claim to support their teams' physical and emotional health, only 46% of employees report actually feeling supported on the job. Workplace Wellness: A Guided Workbook for When Your Job Is Diving You Crazy fills that gap. Written by a writer experienced in mental health topics, the chapters cover wellness from various angles, such as: Your physical environment: how your work physically affects your well-being Your emotional environment: how you feel while at work Your intellectual environment: how stimulating or fulfilling you find your work With quizzes, exercises, and writing prompts, you will identify obstacles and roadblocks to achieveing your best work life. Also included are practical tips like getting more sleep, taking stretch and breath breaks, decluttering your workspace, and the novel "single tasking" approach to work.
