Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by a lack of meaning and purpose - Viktor Frankl

The impact of living your Purpose

Purpose matters. It is not a nice to have. It is at the core of everything we do. Meaning, however, is different - its what we need to feel fulfilled.

Purpose and meaning are big topics. This month's Connecting Times is filled with insights, a beautiful e-book to download and a special invitation.

Employees are increasingly unwilling to endure roles that cause unhappiness, stress and exhaustion and are questioning their futures in their roles.

Many managers are caught between blame and burnout. They play a pivotal role in employee wellbeing, but are struggling to provide the support their teams need. As the crucial link to employee engagement and wellbeing, they are often not given the tools, support and empowerment they need to take accountability for the wellbeing of their people.

While generational jokes abound, there are some interesting facts worth noting as they have a significant impact on talent acquisition, engagement and retention.

As Gen Z, born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, step into the workforce they are bringing unique perspectives that are reshaping traditional approaches to employee wellbeing, engagement and productivity.

Top Wellbeing Priorities:
Wellbeing is a top priority for this generation who take a more holistic view encompassing physical, emotional and mental health. According to McKinsey, 76% of Gen Zs place significant emphasis on mental health support in the workplace.
Unlike their predecessors, they prioritise work-life balance from the onset of their careers.
Flexible work arrangements, including remote work options and flexible hours, are highly valued by this generation, allowing them to integrate personal passions and responsibilities into their professional lives.

Equipping leaders to nurture the wellbeing of their teams.

Connecting Times - December 2023

The end of the year is upon us. For some, it's the most wonderful time of the year. For others, it's exceptionally challenging with increased levels of stress and anxiety, deadlines and feeling overwhelmed. As it is, work-related stress and burnout continue to grow and too many employees who need care and support are going without it.

Despite their best intentions, many leaders feel ill equipped to support and enhance the wellbeing of their teams.
