Workplace Wellbeing – 4 changes to instantly take control

When I was looking this morning at how to improve my wellbeing at work, almost everything I saw was aimed at employers. Nothing was for me, and how I can improve my life.

Every workplace is different, which is out of your control. You don’t have much of a say in how your workplace looks, or how it feels – these are in your employer’s control. What’s scary is that all of this affects your wellbeing within the workplace.

However, there are simple, instant changes that you can make, as an individual, to improve your own workplace wellbeing.

Making everyone 5% more productive at work – one simple trick

"Lost time is never found again" – Benjamin Franklin

"The greatest gift you can give someone is time" – Anon

"My favourite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time" – Steve Jobs

That’s why the biggest companies in the world have focussed on giving you more of it. Google saves you time by indexing the internet in one place. Apple’s new Watch saves you time by sending a notification to your wrist instead of into your pocket. And Uber saves you time by arranging your transport.

Depending on where you work, you could be losing 20 minutes of your day, every day. We want to share with you an insight to save it.

It’s 7:32… yeah you did it. You hit snooze.

It’s 7:39. OK – the week just got real. Monday morning is here. 

If you’re anything like me, you are suddenly acutely aware that you need to be at work in less than an hour. You’re tired, grumpy and miffed that the weekend has been so rudely interrupted by the working week. Especially when you were mid-way through such a lovely dream.

Oh well, time to get your shit face game face on. The question is: how do you find it and, dare I say it, even enjoy Monday?

Here are our top 8 lifehacks

1.          Arrive at meetings bearing little gifts â€“ it has a fantastic ROI. We learnt this by arriving at offices with food samples, and despite this being our business people were delightfully surprised and their reactions were priceless. It’s now mandatory for us to make sure we bring along a little food treat to every meeting we attend. It’s de-rigueur in Japan for a reason.
