How can you look after your wellbeing in the workplace?

In this week's episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I delved into the concept of workplace wellbeing and addressed some of the critical factors that can hinder it. As we celebrate National Workplace Well-being Day in Ireland, it's important to recognise the challenges that may impede our well-being at work and take actionable steps to mitigate them.

One of the primary hindrances to workplace wellbeing is workload. Feeling overloaded with work, working excessive hours, and struggling to achieve work-life balance can significantly impact our well-being. I emphasised the importance of distinguishing between self-inflicted workload and workload imposed by external factors such as organisational demands and client needs. Additionally, she offered practical strategies for managing workload, including setting clear priorities, monitoring time spent on tasks, and learning to say no when necessary.

Recognising our own achievements and finding support within the organisation were also highlighted as crucial in fostering workplace wellbeing. I shared insights on navigating conflicts, seeking opportunities for personal and professional development, and identifying and addressing toxic work environments.

It's essential to create a workplace culture that values well-being and provides support for all employees. I encourage you to actively engage in open and honest conversations with managers, colleagues, and HR to address challenges and foster a culture of respect and support.

The main points throughout this podcast include:

  • The challenges that may impede our well-being at work and take actionable steps to mitigate them.
  • The importance of distinguishing between self-inflicted workload and workload imposed by external factors such as organisational demands and client needs
  • Recognising our own achievements and finding support
  • Insights on navigating conflicts, seeking opportunities for personal and professional development, and identifying and addressing toxic work environments.
