"The new “normal” of work-life needs to be focused on health and mental wellness. COVID-19 exacerbated an already existing mental health issue of workplace burnout. The psychological effects of prolonged home confinement have yet to fully emerge...” ...says Allen, a Mental Health Activist and business consultant who is fighting to improve mental health conditions for workers. He is an advocate of engaging workers through innovative mental health initiatives like “self-care training”. Although “self-care” seems like an obvious concept, it is much more intricate and multifaceted than one may think. The truth is, many people do not actually understand what it is or how to use it. According to Allen, promoting self-care in the workplace is crucial. “Self-Care is a popular buzzword today that conjures up images of bubble baths and yoga...but in actuality, self-care looks different for everyone and is a lot more than skincare and scented candles. It is an incredibly effective strategy to prevent burn-out and increase productivity...” ...says Allen who has seen the significant positive impact of self-care on productivity and profits. A company cannot be successful with unhappy and unhealthy employees. Self-Care is insurance against burnout. It enables you to have healthy relationships and respond to stress appropriately. By modeling what it means to take care of yourself–while also encouraging a culture that supports self-care–you'll prevent burnout among your team.
