Having a legal, cool and respectful job, where you can perform a profession, have a livelihood for yourself or your family, is the dream of many people who face the challenges of life and everything it contains on a daily basis. Bills never wait, bills, taxes, government charges, all of this will always find you somehow and, therefore, you need to work to be able to support yourself, have the money coming from somewhere, correctly and honestly, obviously, to be able to pay for all of this. But what happens when work becomes a bad thing?
You've probably heard of Burnout Syndrome, since in recent years the word Burnout has become much more well-known and is being shared more frequently on social media or even in real life, with people commenting on it. In short, this syndrome is the extreme exhaustion of an employee in the company, which makes them feel bad, with acute symptoms of mental and physical fatigue, muscle pain, suicidal thoughts, insomnia, among many other negative aspects. So, this problem is something that can happen to anyone who needs to work to survive.
As society has evolved, what was once often called a whim has gained a name and space, and with that, new techniques and actions to try to prevent employees from falling into this problem related to mental health have also arrived over time. One of the main things that I believe should be developed and done is workload management, thus avoiding overloading a single person who usually has more than one role in the company. Having a pleasant physical space also helps, we know how a messy and chaotic place can be bad for us, days off and breaks, in addition to creating guidelines for professional growth in the company.
These are just a few points, there are several others that we could put into practice, but one thing that, for example, I know is missing a lot in the company where I work: recognition and appreciation, I think that everyone who likes to work (I am like that) likes to have their recognition, to know that what they did was good and that it helped in some way, for this reason, I am being recognized for actually being able to deliver something that helped the company. I believe that there are many ways to make employees happy and less overwhelmed in the company, but the owner needs to understand this.
I believe that a happy employee is much more productive than one who is unhappy or has negative thoughts about the company. When you manage to implement initiatives that make them happy to be there, in that environment, I am sure that their main feeling is to do more and deliver more, precisely because this is a way of thanking them for their evolution in the company, in addition to a friendly environment that makes them thrive.
When a boss understands this and really takes actions aimed at the well-being of the employee, this certainly makes the entire company better and more productive, creating a quality and pleasant environment, making everyone really want to do more and deliver more projects or activities. Needless to say, large companies take the well-being of their employees seriously, they are always surrounded by good news, great recommendations and high profits.
