One in five employees worldwide say their work has a negative impact on their mental health. At the end of the working day, 43% of employees are ‘often’ or ‘always’ exhausted and 78% say that stress negatively affects their work performance. At the same time, it turns out that managers have the same impact on people’s mental health as their life partners, and even more than doctors or therapists.
We would like to thank the MEET&GROW agency for once again inviting us to collaborate with them, this time as speakers running a discussion table at a very interesting and much-needed event, which was the conference entitled: ‘Health and benefits: leaders and ambassadors’. The topic of our panel was Leadership derailers (Blokady Liderskie©) and their impact on employee wellbeing. During the nearly hour-long debate, we discussed what kind of direct impact certain leader behaviours can have on employees, which in times of stability and security are their attributes, but in circumstances that bring uncertainty and volatility become a threat to both the wellbeing of their subordinates and their own welfare. It was an extraordinary pleasure to share with the participants our unique experience of several years of measuring leadership derailers (Blokady Liderskie©) in many organisations in Poland.
