Rejuvenate your work community today
Current Crises
The last two years have seen some catastrophic events - pandemic, floods, food shortages and polarisation.
Businesses suffered.
Organisations were in a mess.
Employees were left anxious and stressed.
Most staff have had to work from home, feeling isolated and uncertain about the future. At the same time, they often have to meet increased demands from vulnerable clients and the general community. Hence, employees are now feeling overworked, burnt out and uninspired.
Studies revealed that, during the onslaught of Covid, the workforce experienced similar burnout at the beginning of the year, as it would be expected in November or December each year. This shows that there is a significant change in the amount of pressure employees are handling and to an average person who can only take so much, that isn't good at all.
Currently, more than 45% of Australian workers are feeling demotivated and exhausted mentally and physically at the end of the day. Imagine how that could be dangerous not only to the employees' mental health but also to businesses and the economy.
Challenging situations that put employees under continuous stress can lead them to feeling:
-
stressed and burnt out
-
disconnected from their work
-
uninspired
-
hard to focus
-
isolated
-
fearful about the future
-
hopeless
This can lead to reduced productivity and performance and high turnover in times when its hard to find new talent.

Employee Burnout
In this program, we aim to rejuvenate people towards:
-
increasing their individual wellbeing
-
creating a workplace culture that fosters supportive relationship among co-workers,
-
contributing positively and efficiently towards their team,
-
showing up more confidently and communicating their work whilst being open to constuctive feedback that could further lead to a better output
When people look after their wellbeing, they tend to be more engaged and more confident to show up at work and do their best.
This results in:
-
exponential business growth
-
creative innovations
-
better output quality
-
increased profits
-
increased retention
-
decreased turnover rates
-
attraction of exceptional talents
