Geelong’s corporate counselling services cover mindfulness

Why a positive culture is the most important thing your workplace should foster.

The Harvard Business Review has published research and statistics that demonstrate why fostering a positive culture at your workplace is so important. While drawing on data in the US, we anticipate Australia’s statistics wouldn’t look terribly different!

And it makes sense, doesn’t it. No one truly wants to work in a negative environment. Like attracts like, which is why a positive workplace culture encourages more positive people, who are naturally more productive.

Helen Handsjuk provides corporate counselling services in Geelong, visiting workplaces to impart mental health and well-being awareness and mindfulness training. Mindfulness helps individuals be more self-aware and have more meaningful relationships with those around them, including co-workers and leadership.

In a world where ‘busy’ is the number one word we use to describe our lives, corporate mindfulness coaching can help people slow down enough to improve the quality of their interactions and work. The problem with pushing the ‘busy’ culture at your workplace is staff can become stressed out, sick and quite simply, sick of their jobs! Promoting mental health, well-being, mindfulness and general positivity will help you retain staff and foreseeably reduce days of absence.

Don’t underestimate the importance of mental health and well-being in the workplace, contact Helen Handsjuk today and set your workplace on the path to a positive culture.
