The Why and the Strategy behind this educational program for companies:
The mental wellbeing of every individual is profoundly influenced by the element of communication in all areas of life. In a corporate setting, employees' mental wellbeing is greatly impacted by the way communication unfolds within the organization. Several levels of communication can ultimately affect employees' overall sense of wellbeing:
-
Communication with internal stakeholders (colleagues and individuals they interact with regularly, even if not directly in their team).
-
Communication within their team and with their direct manager.
-
Communication with clients and external stakeholders, where saying NO may be challenging due to urgent demands.
Within these interactions, various elements of communication come into play: providing feedback, navigating difficult conversations, making requests or setting boundaries, and most importantly, actively listening and empathetically connecting with others. When we fail to communicate truthfully, compassionately, and assertively, we encounter the following problems:
-
Fear of conflict, which might actually be an opportunity for a constructive conversation.
-
Poor delivery of feedback, hindering growth for both the giver and receiver.
-
Creative stagnation, impeding progress in projects and initiatives.
-
A tense atmosphere at work, leading to an unfavorable company culture.
-
Mental health issues like burnout, often caused by overpromising, lack of workload clarity, or the habitual use of violent or abusive language.
While some situations require navigating discomfort, engaging in assertive communication and developing an assertive mindset empower individuals to express their needs clearly. This approach fosters greater mental wellbeing at a company-wide level, resulting in reduced discomfort and better core life skills, essential to modern workplaces.
