How employee wellness varies across generations: The rush to meet worker needs for Gen Y, Z, X

How employee wellness varies across generations: The rush to meet worker needs for Gen Y, Z, X

Establishing a strong employee wellness program is critical for employers, yet with more workplaces featuring multi-generational workers, reaching balance remains a challenge. Source: Thompson Reuters Before 2020, managing employee wellness was already seen as a challenge and one that could impact employee engagement. Indeed, it seems that engagement and wellness are ineradicably linked, according to one recent study, which suggested that: Employee engagement positively relates to wellness because engagement is noticeably lower among employees experiencing low or very low physical, financial or emotional wellness. Further, the impact of wellness and engagement in differing generational cohorts has been under-recognized. It is no secret that Gen Zers and young Millennials, who as […]

Περί ύπνου: Τα οφέλη της αγκαλιάς στον ύπνο!

Περί ύπνου: Τα οφέλη της αγκαλιάς στον ύπνο!

Πόσο συχνά ακούμε από τους γύρω μας ή έχουμε νιώσει και οι ίδιοι, ότι ο ύπνος μας γίνεται αμέσως πιο ποιοτικός όταν κοιμόμαστε αγκαλιά με τον αγαπημένο ή την αγαπημένη μας, με το κατοικίδιο μας ή ακόμη και με το αγαπημένο μας μαξιλάρι; Source Ο κοινός παρονομαστής σε αυτή την συλλογική ανάγκη «να κοιμηθούμε αγκαλιά», είναι η διαφορά που επιφέρει στον εγκέφαλό μας και εν συνεχεία στο σώμα μας. Συγκεκριμένα, έρευνες έχουν δείξει πως: • Κατά τη διάρκεια της αγκαλιάς παράγεται η ωκυτοκίνη, μία ορμόνη η οποία έχει οριστεί αρκετές φορές ως η «ορμόνη της αγάπης». Η ορμόνη αυτή βιολογικά, παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο αφού η έκκριση της συμβάλλει κατά τη γέννα στη διαστολή της […]

How to Get People to Actually Participate in Virtual Meetings

How to Get People to Actually Participate in Virtual Meetings

One of the most challenging aspects of a virtual meeting is keeping people’s attention. It’s important to be thoughtful about how you engage attendees. In the first minute of your meeting, help participants experience the problem you want them to solve by sharing statistics, anecdotes, or analogies that dramatize the issue. Then emphasize shared responsibility for solving it. Define a highly structured and brief task they can tackle in small groups of two or three people and give them a medium with which to communicate with one another (video conference, Slack channel, messaging platform, audio breakouts).  Then have the groups report out. Never go longer than 5-10 minutes without giving […]

Secrets of engaging remote meetings

Secrets of engaging remote meetings

During the remote meeting Source 1. Introduce everyone The video camera doesn’t show every speaker throughout the meeting. Some software shows an icon or picture of who is involved in the meeting, but it is good practice to introduce everyone attending. Managers at OnPoint Consulting post pictures of attendees on the wall when the video is not used, because people are more willing to participate and are more open when they know who’s on the call. The most important step for increasing meeting engagement in my opinion is for the meeting host to ensure that all attendees are introduced and announced at the meeting, including their role (obviously if there […]

How to Use Aromatherapy at Work for Increased Productivity

How to Use Aromatherapy at Work for Increased Productivity

There are some things that you probably cannot change about your work environment. Among these things are the office lighting, the noise level, the furniture layout, and the color of the walls. However, you can definitely take steps to improve your office environment without having to request a work order. One way to do so is to use aromatherapy for productivity. Source Skeptical? According to Entrepreneur magazine, “Smell is the strongest of the senses and is best able to influence brain activity.” This is because olfactory bulbs directly connect to the areas of the brain that process learning and emotions. For many people, aromatherapy can even lower blood pressure. By harnessing the power of scent, […]

“How do you simplify your digital life?” is quickly becoming the question of our generation.

Πώς να περάσεις δημιουργικά τις φετινές γιορτές;

Τί είναι οι γιορτές; Όμορφες στιγμές, αληθινές και ζεστές. Και αυτές οι στιγμές είναι που μετράνε πολύ περισσότερο από τα πλουσιοπάροχα τραπέζια και τα φανταχτερά στολίδια και τραπεζομάντηλα.
