Headpace gets this right with a four day workweek every other week, and then a no-meeting Friday on the opposite weeks. This cadence provides a good balance with a frequent 3 day weekend to recharge, with time to be focused and catch up on the off weeks. #worklifebalance #mindfulness #innovation

Sorry to be the party pooper, Telegraph IC team, but it's stuff like 'Virtual Meditation' and 'Smoothie Bike Challenge' that gets internal comms labelled as 'the colouring in team'. 🎨 Every single comms role briefing, client meeting and senior candidate call recently has featured three non-negotiable things companies want from their comms teams right now: Supporting Customer and Employee Retention 🔏 Driving Employee Engagement and Motivation 😃 Enabling Sales and Lead Generation 💰 P.S..... how on earth do you make a smoothie while riding a spin bike? #commssearchselection #internalcommunications #internalcomms #communicationstrategy #comms

Move Better! Feel Better! Work Better! Another great HR Unlocked episode with host Thomas Mackey - Employee Benefits Advisor. This one really makes good sense as to why we need to move better. Lara Heimann drops so many value bombs about why we need to be more active. It is worth 26 minutes of your time. For example: 🚶♂️ As kids we used to have recesses every day in school. Why don't we continue that today in our jobs? We need breaks to move around. 🚶♀️ We walk around in our bodies all our lives and we really don't understand them. Why don't we have more education about them? 🙋♀️ Being #caregivers first may be the right mentality but do not apologize for also taking care of yourself first before caring for others. 🌟 Th best employers/HR/leaders are the ones that walk the talk. The are good examples to follow. Do not be afraid to be different. Start taking "recesses" during your work day! A typical 40 hour work week requires 5 hours of breaks to move around. Start today!! #workingcaregiver #employeebenefits #hr #leadership #employeehealthandwellness #caringconvos https://lnkd.in/dWUHPjrt

How you start your day say how it will goes. We are surrounded of so many distractions, from unstopable phone notifications to meetings which last more than necessary.

🛑 Stop your scroll! Notice your breath. Chances are it’s either very shallow or you may not have even realized that you were holding it. When I learned about the concept of “screen apnea” I became fascinated and noticed it happening within myself... and I teach people how to breathe! Most people spend an average of 4 hours/day on screens, so this seemingly small change of expanding vs contracting while scrolling can actually make a huge difference.  https://lnkd.in/e5V6eZ6Z -- 🙋♀️ I'm a workplace wellbeing speaker and career coach - I help people land work they love, and I help organizations retain those people through wellness programming that creates a culture where employees feel valued. #burnoutrecovery #employeewellness #wellbeingatwork #speaker

This is great advice but hard to do in most organization and especially in the field of HR but I do believe there is truth in this organization that we as leaders and organizations need to take a look into how can we help in creating an environment where this is achievable for people.
