How do you promote resilience and wellbeing in an exhausted and overwhelmed workforce?
With escalating patient demand and diminshing resources, do health and social care staff on the frontline really need a fruit bowl in the staff room and an extra yoga session to fit in at lunchtime?
Many of the interventions used to promote employee wellbeing in healthcare simply don't work.
In fact they can actually make things worse and lead to resentment, stress and burnout. Not to mention negatively impacting employee engagement, and leaving people feeling like they're being blamed for the stress they're experiencing.
Until we start to address the very real issues of stress due to:
1. Overwhelming workloads,
2. Guilt over saying no to urgent demands, and
3. Fear of setting boundaries or putting limits around their work...
... No-one is going to have any time to look after themselves, let alone promote wellbeing amongst their teams.
And healthcare professionals and their teams will continue to go off sick with stress and burnout, leaving more work for those left behind and leading to a vicious cycle of overwork and overwhelm.
If this doesn't change the NHS will simply collapse.
But change is hard, and in an overstretched system people just don't have the time or headspace to take part in yet another wellbeing initiative...(even if it is free and they know if will be "good for them").
We need to take a different approach.
Join former GP and host of the You Are Not a Frog podcast Dr Rachel Morris, and leadership expert, mediator and coach Dr Sarah Coope for a practical online workshop inviting you to think differently about wellbeing.
We'll share some key learnings based on our experience of teaching the Shapes Toolkit system, a series of tools and models based on productivity, coaching and neuroscience which has helped thousands of doctors and healthcare professionals take control of their time and workload, change their response to stressful events and thrive in work and life.
