This week the World Health Organization (WHO) made positive steps in improving workplace wellness by formally recognizing ‘Burn-out’ as an official occupational phenomenon. The WHO classified burn-out as ‘a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed’, under the International Classification of Diseases, and it will be globally-recognized as of 2020.
Feel like work is zapping all your energy and taking the fun out of life?
Do you feel burnt out, run down, emotionally paralyzed or lack the energy to do what you want to in life?
We live in a world that has a workplace culture that tends itself towards high levels of stress, working over-time, depression, detachment and feeling ineffective.
Will Workplace Wellness be the Next Royal Commission?
Will this mean that Workplace Wellness could be the next Royal Commission or Presidential Commission? It can’t be too far away as the effects, quite often catastrophic, that are associated with unsuccessfully managed workplace stress have a major ramifications for sick leave expenses, physical and mental health, personal and professional relationships, loss of productivity, workplace culture and employee retention.
It’s Affecting Those Close to Us!
I don’t know about you, but I am feed up with seeing family, friends and many people all around the world suffering from workplace related depression, mental health and even suicide due to the workplace cultures that cause unnecessary stress and burn-out.
CEO’s, leaders, owners and board
directors are going to have to start taking workplace wellness seriously. It
wouldn’t surprise me if we start seeing class actions in the near future.
There are a number of companies and organizations that do have positive and effective workplace wellness cultures in place and we must applaud them for being proactive in a space that has a major effect on society and our local communities. They should be used as examples of best practice and rewarded accordingly.
What is Burn-out?
We know that those who are most vulnerable to burn-out regularly navigate complex, contradictory and sometimes hostile environments. The main risk factors of burn-out in the workplace consist of:
doing work that is unrewarding,
limited control on the work that you do,
an overwhelming workload due to time and/or pressure exerted,
work that conflicts with our personal values,
unfair work practices, and
lack of community.
Workplace related symptoms include:
feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
increased mental distance from one’s job;
feelings of negativity or cynicism related to one’s job; and
reduced professional efficacy.

2019 is underway and it is the best time of year to be setting your PERSONAL goals for the year.
Why do you need goals? Goals provide CLARITY on the direction you are heading in both the short and long-term. They are absolutely crucial if you want to be successful. If you don’t know your destination, you will never know if you have arrived.
So what are effective goals for you? You must have a REASON to achieve the goal, it needs to be COMPELLING for you and it needs to be YOURS, so you own it.
Is your WHY strong enough? If it is, you will feel invigorated and it will fuel your passion to find out HOW. If your gut feeling is that you could go on doing it forever, then you are heading up the correct path. You will also know that the goal is aligned to your core beliefs and values.
If your reason is compelling you will magically find a way to ACHIEVE your goals and the things you previously thought were impossible.
Many people talk about SMART goals, which are specific, measureable, achievable, realistic and timely. To be honest, the most important aspect is that you set achievable outcomes that get the heart pumping, give you goose bumps and you can’t help but smile.
You are probably thinking, ‘where do I start?’. There are 3 critical steps to developing your goals.
FIRST, you need to review your previous years performance. You need to understand what you achieved, what you need to improve and what blind-sided you.
SECOND, it is important to determine where you current performance is at in relation to fitness, health, nutrition, recovery, emotions, productivity, relationships and performance. Why do you need to analyse your current performance? You need to know your starting point and how every aspect of your life connects with each other.
Third, define your main goal, which has a compelling reason for you. Set 4 target goals that serve as milestones for the main goal. Finally establish up to 3 action items for each target goal.
MAIN
GOAL – It is important to have one goal that fuels your passion every single
day. Having more than one distracts you as you are always compromising one for
the other.
TARGET
GOALS – these are milestones that build-up to the MAIN goal. They are split
into a 3-month segment each. It is important to choose 4 TARGET goals in order
of importance to the other and achieving the MAIN goal. As humans we are far
more effective in working short to medium length blocks than a full year at one
time.
ACTION
ITEMS – These are small achievable actions that allow you to achieve the TARGET
Goals. They obviously need to be aligned to your MAIN goal, otherwise you might
get side-tracked.
It’s time for you to own your destiny and live a life that reflects your core beliefs
and values.
Remember you must have
a compelling reason that is yours when you set the main goal, establish target
goals and develop action items.
