Tradition is fine but it can inhibit new, responsive work practices.
Companies regularly update their software without question, yet how often do they update their work practices?
Fashion, motor vehicles, housing design, education, food tastes, health and media have all moved on from the ‘90s and the millennium; all have evolved and/or changed to fit in with today’s requirements and understandings. Shouldn’t we also look to progress our attitudes towards how we engage our employees and operate our businesses?
Not too long ago, yoga and meditation was thought to be mystical and those who practised it were considered a little weird, yet today it is accepted as a mainstream health modality. Reiki, Bowen therapy and other alternate therapies also fitted into this mind-set, but are now recognised as wellness modalities that assist with recuperation and recovery.
The psychology of smell and colour, used by many cultures, was thought to be “outside the box” but is now being recognised and used by international airlines, shopping centres and universities to assist with relaxation and focus.
Spiri Buhagiar has undertaken studies into multiple modalities over the past 25 years. She often presents workshops on a number of these subjects to assist businesses and offices to create an environment of energy and happiness through the use of colour, sound and smell psychology. Incorporating these psychologies will greatly assist in creating calmer, yet more energised individuals who are better able to manage stress and be more productive.
Workshops also include practices such as:
- yoga breathing, which can help to calm the mind and the body
- word psychology, which can change the delivery of how we interact with others and minimise misunderstandings; and
- tapping, known as EFT, which can assist with changing a mindset of negativity to one of positiveness.
Such practices can significantly improve a company’s management and team members, as well as change the company’s culture and create ‘workplace wellness’; wellness that provides an environment where people feel comfortable at work, relate well with their colleagues and feel motivated to achieve.
Introducing our 3Rs (recognition, respect and reward) will ultimately make for happy people in your team.
