Why Mental Health / Mindfulness Matters in the Workplace

Mindfulness is being fully present in the moment, and aware of your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings without judgment. Employees can develop a deeper sense of consciousness and purpose by cultivating mental health/mindfulness, leading to greater personal and professional fulfilment. Here’s why mental health/mindfulness is essential for fostering growth and abundance in the workplace:

Burnout and it’s causes
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged and excessive stress. It often occurs when individuals feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. The primary causes of burnout include long hours, lack of control over one’s work, unclear expectations, or a misalignment of personal values with job responsibilities. Other factors like work-life imbalance, lack of support, or feeling undervalued can exacerbate burnout. Over time, these stressors erode a person’s motivation, reduce productivity, and can lead to feelings of cynicism or detachment from work and life.

Types of Burnout:

• Under-Challenged Burnout
  Under-challenged burnout occurs when a person is bored or unengaged with their work. In this type of burnout, individuals may feel under-stimulated, unmotivated, or frustrated because their job does not challenge them or provide growth opportunities. The lack of mental or creative stimulation can lead to feelings of emptiness or dissatisfaction. People experiencing under-challenged burnout might stay in their role due to job security or routine but will increasingly lose interest in their work, leading to a sense of stagnation and ultimately emotional exhaustion.
• Neglect Burnout
  Neglect burnout arises when individuals feel helpless or incompetent in their work due to a lack of guidance, support, or feedback. This type of burnout is characterized by feelings of inadequacy and failure, often resulting from unclear expectations or insufficient resources to accomplish tasks. People experiencing neglect burnout often feel unsupported and may develop a sense of apathy or resignation toward their responsibilities. Over time, this type of burnout can lead to diminished confidence and a belief that their efforts won’t make a difference, making them disengaged and emotionally drained.
• Habitual Burnout
  Habitual burnout is a more severe form of burnout that becomes ingrained into a person’s life. Unlike temporary burnout, where recovery is possible with rest or a break, habitual burnout happens when burnout becomes a chronic state of being. This type of burnout is often the result of long-term, unresolved stress and continues even after the stressful period has passed. People experiencing habitual burnout may feel constantly fatigued, emotionally detached, and indifferent to their surroundings. They are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression, and even physical health issues because burnout becomes a default emotional state.

Employees often bring personal challenges into the workplace:

Stress, family issues, or personal trauma can cause employees to feel overwhelmed, leading to a lack of focus, underperformance, and emotional fatigue. Mindfulness helps individuals compartmentalize and manage these challenges, enabling them to be more effective in their roles and possibly even thrive.

A sense of entitlement may arise:

Employees can feel disconnected from the company’s mission, leading to entitlement and lack of accountability. Through mindfulness, they become more aware of their personal purpose within the broader context of the organization.

Misalignment with the company’s vision:

When employees are not aligned with the company’s vision and mission statement, it can cause a ripple effect of inefficiency. Mindfulness fosters a sense of purpose and meaning, helping employees connect their day-to-day tasks to a greater purpose, both for themselves and the organization.

Lack of productivity and accountability:

Employees may struggle to meet KPAs (Key Performance Areas) or deliver on outputs promptly. Practising mindfulness encourages them to focus on their tasks with clarity and intention, leading to better performance and productivity.

Absenteeism

Extended absenteeism can often originate from:

• stress
• burnout
• lack of awareness or understanding of the imposter syndrome
• unfulfilled in their job and seeking purpose
• boredom
• emotional or mental distractions
• frustrations in the workplace
• strained relationships in the workplace
• lack of direction and clarity

Mindfulness helps employees manage in one or more of the above-mentioned areas to stay focused, allowing them to reduce absenteeism. 

Missed sales targets:

Continued failure to meet sales targets often stems from emotional or mental distractions, lack of connection with other employees or with clients, lack of support, stress or burnout. Mindfulness helps employees manage stress and stay focused, allowing them to meet targets and reduce absenteeism.

Unresolved workplace conflicts:

Issues with interpersonal relationships or the management of different generational age groups can lead to workplace tension. Mindfulness promotes emotional intelligence, helping employees resolve conflicts and improve workplace harmony.

Lack of fulfilment:

Employees who feel unfulfilled in their work are more likely to disengage. By aligning their work with a sense of purpose and meaning through mindfulness, they can experience greater satisfaction and fulfilment.

The Impact of Emotional and Mental Struggles on Workplace Culture

Employees often face trauma, challenges, and deep-seated belief systems that hinder their ability to thrive. Negative strategies, habits, and limiting belief systems can consume their energy, contributing to systemic misalignment within the company. Many organizations invest in motivational speakers and training programs, but these efforts may only have a temporary or minimal impact. Mindfulness offers a sustainable solution by addressing the root causes of these challenges.
