3 interesting external workplace wellbeing articles

  1. Accidental managers: why people who are great at their job can fail when they get promoted
    An article by Professor Cary Cooper outlining why would-be managers should not be assessed solely on technical skills but also on their people skills. Why they should have, or could be trained to have, the emotional ability to manage a group of people and the essential part these skills play in creating a better working environment for all.
  2. Five essential boundaries in the workplace – healthy workplace boundaries improve our wellbeing and prevent burnout
    Reminding us of the importance of workplace boundaries, this article presents five of the most important to help a healthy workplace culture develop which, when modelled and supported by leaders, will benefit performance, fulfilment and work life balance.
  3. Religion at work: Discrimination is commonplace
    A look at the results of recent research into religion at work which investigated the experiences of over 6000 workers in the UK and US. The report's author, Professor Binna Kandola, has expressed disappointment that people of faith tend not to be experiencing an open and inclusive environment at work.

A row of colourful and assorted children's book spines
In our current times, it took some hunting down but we found a heart warming story to finish with. It's one which not only illustrates that there is no minimum age to discover the positive benefits of volunteering but also reminds us of the wellbeing boost a good book can bring!
