Employee Engagement

After the demise of an Indian Bollywood Actor, Sushant Singh Rajput, the world is talking about mental health which is a sensitive topic to discuss about. And that should have been done long ago on the social media as well as in real world.

People feel ashamed of talking about it in public, they are scared of sharing their thoughts and weaknesses to people, because all we do is make fun of it.

It is our fault somewhere that we made fun of people who are depressed or not giving attention to them, laughing on their problems and asking them to let it go without knowing the fact that something is killing them inside.

But we fail to understand that mental health is as important as physical health. This is not something we should ignore or make fun of.

It is true and correct that once in a while we should check on our friends/family, be a good listener and Don’t judge people on the basis of what they might be going through.

In addition, I also believe that most of the people in cities might be depressed because of work load and less salary. Therefore, for every company it is important to keep a check on their employees.

Employees are the backbone of any organization and if their health is not well be it physical or mental, it is a loss to the company. But here is a small difference between mental and physical health.

A person with physical health is given leaves and after a day or two, they are back being normal where as,you never know which person is going through depression or any other mental disorder and also, leaves may not cure them. rather, it would take them months to cure if not taken care of on time.

Every organization should look into matters like these, where they can actually keep a check on their employees. Few steps can be taken for the same.

First thing is Respect. This is something which is the minimum a company’s employers and co-employees can do. Each and every person of the company should be treated with equal respect irrespective of their job profile. Secondly, Employers/leaders/managers should keep a check on their employees. In fact, even the employees should keep a check on their managers. A healthy and a friendly environment can make an employee work in a better way.

Listen to your employees, appreciate their ideas, implement them on your work and provide incentives for the same if possible, this is a gesture of gratitude and a way to keep your employees always motivated and contented.

Engage them in activities which may help them to change their mood, let them take a step towards happiness with these engagement activities.

An employee’s healthy mind and a healthy life is equally important to the company.

Ever felt the need to desperately concentrate on a work that you have to submit within a fast approaching deadline, but still couldn’t gather your attention together and focus on it? With the ever evolving technology and the rise of social media apps, this becomes increasingly difficult. The minute you sit down with your stuff and decide to put in all your concentration towards the task, a notification pops up on the mobile screen and your mind wanders.

Or do you subconsciously keep thinking about that fight with your colleague in the office, and how you could have come up with a better response but failed to give a befitting reply in the heat of the moment? This is a largely common phenomenon, but what we fail to realize is that this drastically decreases our productivity while occupying our time. And good time management is a non-negotiable thing in today’s fast-paced world.

What is meant by Mindfulness Meditation?

Mindfulness Meditation

is bringing all the elements of your consciousness together and focusing on the present, without worrying about the secondary aspects for the time-being. It isn’t an inborn trait, but rather is an acquired skill that can be mastered over a period of time with consistent effort. With regular practice, you can achieve a de-stressed, nonchalant and composed way of thinking, and allow your mind to accept that the situations happening around you are mere instances of your thought process, and that you have no authority over them.

Several studies in recent years have shown that mindfulness based sessions have an overall positive and long-lasting impact on individuals, and are also responsible for a wholesome positive change

in the lifestyle of a person. And with evolving technology, it has been scientifically proven with the help of methods such as MRI and EEG that this has neurological advantages as well.

Our way of looking at things largely influences our mental state. From our perspective, we might be affirmative of our argument and consider that to be the supreme and most accurate, and also think of others’ point of views as going against our ideals. But thinking repeatedly about this creates a negativity in our mind, a sort of void and frustrating feeling which can’t be gotten rid of lucidly. Rumination is a vicious cycle which is most often synonymatic of depression and escalates stress. Mindfulness Meditation is said to be of great help in these situations, as it promotes thinking in the present, leaving behind all worldly worries.

But that being said, it is near impossible to practice meditation in the heat of a fired up debate. Calming oneself down and executing the meditation process is the last thing that would cross a person’s mind while involved in an argument. This is where guided meditation would assist. You just have to be able to reach out to your phone and follow along with your guide as he takes you through the meditative steps. It has been proven to reduce the secretion of adrenaline, lower blood pressure and result in better functioning of the immune system.

Meditate, Sleep & Recharge:

Sleep is extremely essential to ensure proper functioning of the mind and body. Proper sleep is necessary in order to perform efficiently and stay motivated. Our sleep is linked to our appetite, blood pressure, immune system, cardio-vascular health and stress hormones. Incomplete sleep, or lack of sleep may inevitably lead to anxiety issues and mental disturbances.

Curricular activities are those activities which are basically to enhance one’s ability and sharpen their brain. It is a part of those extra activities which are of your interests and to supplement your skills in that particular interests.

The best age to brush up your child’s brain is the infancy period where your child is now learning to be an adult. This is the time when your child’s brain should be intensify by experimenting on these extra activities and to know their interests.

If a child identifies their interest at this age, nothing would stop them from growing briskly. It is very important for anyone to know what excites them , what they actually want to learn and this is exactly the age when they can experiment on different fields.

This generation is way more adaptive in nature than anyone. Their learning and grasping power is unique and they understand things more energetically.

In addition, they are willing to learn and explore more. In my opinion this is the time accurate for them to learn, to utilize their lockdown period in something productive and indulge themselves in extracurricular activities at home.

This is something most of the companies don’t talk about neither take it seriously !!

According to me, employee engagement plays a crucial role in any organization because no one would love to work in a place where people doesn’t care about others, they just care about their targets and themselves. 

In my opinion, a company must have a friendly environment so that when they are getting ready in the morning for their office, they have that mood, enthusiasm, happiness while doing so. An atmosphere with tension, lots of load on their shoulder and looking at angry or sad faces everyday make them less interested to work or infact to come to the office.  

WHAT IS VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDING?

Virtual team building is the practice of organizing online activities and spaces that give remote co-workers a chance to socialize and connect with colleagues they rarely meet in person.

It is the act of building stronger relationships between remote workers. Like team building in the real world, virtual counterparts focus on improving skills like communication and collaboration, while also promoting friendships and alignment.

WHY VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDING IS A NECESSITY?

Virtual team building is the catalyst to the more positive outcome. Organisations that invest in virtual team building have workforces that are more creative, communicative and productive, which is a huge competitive advantage.

Lack of emotional connect and loneliness of working remotely might negatively impact the employees and hamper productivity.

In the 2018 State Of Remote Work Report, Buffer found that loneliness was the biggest downside for 21% of remote employees and one of the reasons that made them more likely to quit.

According to the Harvard Business Review, “ close work friendships boost employee satisfaction by 50%. People with a best friend at work are 7 times more likely to engage fully in their work”
