What is self-care?
Self-care includes all the steps an individual takes to manage stressors in their life and take care of their health and well-being.
Why is self-care important?
Research suggests self-care helps manage stress, lowers risk of illness and improves energy levels. It’s also been shown to enhance self-confidence and increase both productivity and happiness.
Examples of ways to foster self-care in the workplace
- Encourage employees to define and maintain their digital communication boundaries, ie. log-on, log-off times
- Allow for flexibility around and during the workday
- Promote stretching, meditation and fresh air breaks
- Support employees in their mindfulness journeys
- Introduce wellness “check-ins” and/or surveys
