203: National Workplace Wellbeing Day with Aoife O’Brien

4/26/2024
How can you look after your wellbeing in the workplace? In this week's episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I delved into the concept of workplace wellbeing and addressed some of the critical factors that can hinder it. As we celebrate National Workplace Well-being Day in Ireland, it's important to recognise the challenges that may impede our well-being at work and take actionable steps to mitigate them. One of the primary hindrances to workplace wellbeing is workload. Feeling overloaded with work, working excessive hours, and struggling to achieve work-life balance can significantly impact our well-being. I emphasised the importance of distinguishing between self-inflicted workload and workload imposed by external factors such as organisational demands and client needs. Additionally, she offered practical strategies for managing workload, including setting clear priorities, monitoring time spent on tasks, and learning to say no when necessary. Recognising our own achievements and finding support within the organisation were also highlighted as crucial in fostering workplace wellbeing. I shared insights on navigating conflicts, seeking opportunities for personal and professional development, and identifying and addressing toxic work environments. It's essential to create a workplace culture that values well-being and provides support for all employees. I encourage you to actively engage in open and honest conversations with managers, colleagues, and HR to address challenges and foster a culture of respect and support.

2/16/2024
How can you create a happier and human-centred work environment? In the latest episode of The Happier at Work podcast, I sat down with the incredible Kate Jones to explore the importance of understanding well-being and the impact of leadership on creating deeply human organisations. Kate shared her wealth of knowledge from her experience in the probation service and as a leadership and life coach, emphasising the significance of building relationships and establishing a healthy workplace culture. The thought-provoking conversation touched on various aspects, including the need to redefine success beyond traditional measures and the importance of creating conditions for change by understanding individual and environmental factors. Kate also introduced the "5 C's" model for deeply human leadership: clarity of purpose, connection, consciousness, creativity, and care. We delved into the impact of leadership on organisational functions and the necessity of interconnecting relationships for effective leadership. Kate's insights shed light on the challenges of creating deeply human organisations and how leaders can prioritise meaningful work, foster connection, and provide a sense of belonging and growth for employees. This episode offers valuable wisdom on finding fulfilment and making a meaningful difference in professional careers.
