NEW from Martin Seligman’s “Flourish” – The PERMA Model of Well-Being

Tools, Habits and Behaviours PROVEN to promote Personal, Team and Corporate Resilience and Well-Being.

Earlier in 2020, it was found that poor mental wellbeing is costing UK businesses £45 billion each year and with the increase of concerns about the pandemic, that figure has, almost certainly, risen significantly throughout the year.

In addition to this, research shows that 11 million UK adults took time off due to poor mental wellbeing in 2020 (this figure is as at October 2020), yet only 38% of them felt comfortable being honest about it to their employer, while others cite physical health issues or simply take annual leave to avoid the conversation all together. Most employers said that mental wellbeing is a key priority for them, but many employees don’t feel that it is.

“It’s OK – NOT to be OK”

…or so the currently trending saying states. So there needs to be an acceptance and acknowledgement, without any attached stigma, that we can ALL probably benefit from some Wellbeing and Positivity being spoken into our lives and workplaces right now.

Q: So HOW do we encourage our employees, who we feel need to increase their wellbeing and stress resilience, to attend a “stress” workshop without it being seen as a stigma or a weakness?

A: Enrol the entire team or organisation onto the workshop so that it becomes an “Inclusive Experience” for all of your employees. From the statistics shown above, it suggests that more than 50% of our workforce would benefit from a Wellbeing and Positivity Workshop. (and the longer the pandemic continues, the higher this figure will become)

So by enrolling your entire team on the workshop you are:

being a responsible employer in providing for the wellbeing and mental health of your Staff
reducing the risk of increased “days off work” due to poor mental health – thereby protecting the efficiency and sustaining your profitable business
providing hope and positivity in a covid-world to your employees and their families
enabling your staff to spend quality “work time” to learn life-changing, and in some instances, life-saving concepts and principles
creating a ‘safe environment’ where your employees can be Honest, Open and Transparent with each other as to how they REALLY feel, which creates incredible team-bonding and self help in the support group
creating a culture which your staff will look back on as “that time during Covid when our Organisation offered outstanding support and we all looked after each other”.

It is during times like these when we form platforms on which to build:

Personal Resolve and Character
Personal Wellbeing and Resilience
Mental Safety for the attendees and their families
An enhanced awareness of the signs of “pandemic-fatigue” or depression – and a knowledge of how to build resilience against them
Memories of the great support the Organisation offered by providing a ‘mandatory’ Wellbeing Workshop – resulting in great employee satisfaction and company loyalty
Highly committed Super Teams with a formidable self-support ethos
Your new Company Culture and the infrastructure for the “new normal”

When we work under pressure for a prolonged period of time, whether it be caused by COVID-19 or sheer volume of workload with ever critical deadlines – there is a danger that our personal wellbeing and stress resilience will become overwhelmed and this can sometimes lead to even more serious mental illness.

Don’t allow Covid to Steal your Happiness!

Neuroscience tells us that during times of stress and depression, our brain finds it difficult to create the “Happiness Chemicals” that our body needs to help us to survive the storm. This workshop will reveal the techniques of how we can discipline our thinking through Postivity so as to ensure that that our brain continues to produce the necessary levels of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphin which are the prerequisite weapons with which we fight stress, depression and increase wellbeing.

“It’s OK NOT to be OK”…as long as you have a plan to restore your Wellbeing and Mental Health…and this workshop is YOUR plan to do that….

This practical workshop has been designed to address the elements of the PERMA model as we build towards a healthy work / life balance. We will look at how stress can be managed positively (to produce achievement, meaning and relational quality) as well as how to avoid unnecessary dis-stress. There will be space for participants to intelligently assess and reflect on their current well-being. And there will be exercises and habits shared that can facilitate deliberate self-leadership towards “Performance under Pressure”.
