four-day work weeks, hybrid working, work-life balance... 2020/2021 sure threw us a new opportunity to change the way we view work, life and (mental) wellness. |
The way we view work is changing and we are at a pivotal point in history where we can raise the bar.It's time to normalise that people have a life beyond the desk. Because family is often the reason people show up in the first place.
By recognising that people are real - valuable - people, we can reduce stress-related absence and turnover costs significantly. Giving employees more flexibility, such as the four- day week, to manage other aspects of their lives, will allow them to show up at the job more focused; making them more productive and delivering better quality work. This will, of course, benefit both the company as well as the employees. |

As many are struggling with mental health nowadays, there couldn’t be a better time to make mental well-being part of the quarterly and yearly objectives.
unique opportunity to be a changemaker
Recent studies show that over 40 % of the global workforce is considering leaving their employer this year because they are unhappy with the current situation. These shocking numbers don’t lie:
- 20 % say their employer doesn’t care about their work-life balance - 54 % feel overworked - 39 % feel exhausted The healthcare costs of job-related burnout are currently guesstimated between $125-$190 billion per year in the US alone. In the UK, the number for mental health-related costs sits at £35 billion per year. Every year we flush money down the drain to cover these costs. On top of that, highly talented and skilled employees leave because they start their own business or go to the competition. So, let's avoid that. Shall we?

Work hard, sacrifice everything you got and you will succeed! How often have you heard these kinds of statements? How we define success as a culture has led to many entrepreneurs struggling with guilt and anxiety, stress and burnout... Is the way we define success ready for a drastic upgrade? With suicide still being the #1 cause of death for males in the UK (age 21-45) I believe it is time to open up the dialogue about the importance of (mental) health and business!
