Webinar: HR Answers - Self-Care, Yes I Said It!
Multifamily NW Welcomes:Deborah Jeffries. HR Answers
Event Details
“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” – Anne Lamott
Self-care refers to the activities and practices that we deliberately choose to engage in on a regular basis to maintain and enhance our health and well-being. This is not a luxury; it is foundational work required for our physical and emotional wellness. This means that self-care is not always fun, sometimes it’s hard—like lacing up your shoes to go for a walk when you’d rather be watching a movie on your favorite streaming service.
Although it may sound frivolous, self-care is crucial to your optimal functioning. In a society that celebrates busyness, there is an underlying belief that we must always be productive. This can ultimately leave us feeling like there is no time for self-care. And while it may sound counterintuitive, it actually makes us more productive to set time aside for ourselves. Research suggests that steady and intentional practice of self-care not only reduces stress and prevents burnout but it also improves concentration and work productivity, helping us refocus.
Effective role modeling from leaders is one of the most powerful drivers in ensuring people take care of their own mental health.
Our discussion will focus on things you can do physically, emotionally, and mentally for self-care and give you ideas if you would like to create a self-care plan for yourself or just incorporate some simple ideas to share with staff.
Repeat after me: A happier and healthier workplace starts with taking care of myself.
