Wellbeing coach Marilyn Suttle on curbing burnout and attrition

• Physical wellbeing. Physical wellbeing should be encouraged in the workplace. How are people sitting at their computers? How would someone look if their body was in a state of wellbeing?
• Career wellbeing. People want to be appreciated for good work and want to know there's room for growth. Leaders can focus on mistakes or see them as tuition towards education and accelerated learning.
• Emotional wellbeing. Employers should create an environment where stress isn’t seen as a threat but as a challenge.

Breathing slowly and counting to 10 triggers a relaxation response in your nervous system, helping you calm down when stressed.

When you count, it reactivates your logic centres. The best way to be fully present is to savour the moment. Take a minute to enjoy the good things, even if it’s just a warm cup of coffee or taking a walk.

 In a stressful situation, we tend to be more focused on the story we tell ourselves than the facts and exaggerate the action we should take. When you say, "This is the worst day ever," is it true?

When you're in a stressful situation and can't think of what to do, asking yourself: “Is it really as bad as I think it is?” can help you challenge overwhelming feelings and see things more clearly.

Many companies are taking employee wellbeing seriously. They are putting initiatives together and changing their culture to include that. 

The problem is that work and life are integrated and it's never going back. To thrive in a hybrid situation, we need to embrace how to create a culture of wellbeing.
