Is Workplace Wellbeing Sustainable Employability?

We all want to show up to work as our best, most productive, energetic, collaborative selves- but how is that done? We can be incentivized to demonstrate these behaviors thought compensation schemes and recognition in the workplace, but does this work as a motivation in the long run? Even still, if it’s coming from an outside source, extrinsic motivation, it takes us effort to change and show up how we are expected to, that means it never becomes an intrinsic motivation which becomes tiring, we are constantly feeling like we can’t be ourselves, we have to operate within a set of parameters instructed by the organization, soon we feel stifled, it’s exhausting trying to be someone else, or act in a particular way all the time, thus we find ourselves showing up irritated, despondent, stressed and burned out, not achieving the results we set out for nor being the person we envisioned. Does this sound familiar?

Two-thirds of full-time employees say they have experienced burnout at some point in their careers. Workplace burnout is becoming increasingly common. 36% of workers state that their organizations have nothing in place to help stave off employee burnout.

Programs that address workplace wellbeing are part of the solution, but the problem is much wider than ergonomic workspaces, gym memberships and blue light filters. What does it take to be passionate and productive on a long term basis? Research in the Netherlands have narrowed it down to 4 factors:

Autonomy: Do people have a sense of agency? Are roles micro managed with strict rules of adherence? Can people bring creativity to solutions, how is risk taking viewed within the organization?

Competency: Is staff adequately skilled to do the job? Is training provided, if people want to further develop themselves, are they given the means to within the organization? This levels the playing field and clears hierarchical barriers to challenge and transform current practices.

Connection: Is there a human element in the workplace or is it simply an amalgamation of transactions? Being able to bring authenticity in the office allows people to feel a sense of belonging to their workplace and extend themselves in their commitment to their work

Adaptability: Is there fluidity and how is changed viewed? Rigidity brings myopia and control in a time of uncertainty can lead to suboptimal results, brining a sense of openness to the unknown where options are discussed and ideas are welcome is what make organizations agile to the ever changing economic landscape

Our corporate wellness programs involve the whole person, responsible for their individual selfcare routines but also as a part of a web of inter-relations. We take practical tools to release stress, create social support networks to share and to feel heard, as well as frameworks of conversation to built more trust and relinquish bygone control mechanisms as a way of managing people.

Yoga Asana and Awareness

To practice YOGA means to choose to evolve and produce transformations in the being, that will quickly become healthy and purified because of the energies that pass through the body. Even though this passing of the energy is produced, without a proper awareness of the processes that are triggered in our inner universe – when we do our practice – effects on the body, our psyche and mind are much reduced and it takes a longer period of time until energies become visible in the physical plan. The awareness of energies, which are received in our being, will purify by transformations of the body and mind. Out of the whole complex of techniques and procedures that the YOGA system includes, the most well-known are ASANA-s, the body postures. During the practice of ASANA-s we will regard each body posture that we realize as a gate open towards profound spirituality. The practice of ASANA-s must be carried out in a perseverant, effortless and patient way. If the execution of each ASANA will...
