Mental Fitness Support for Peak Performance & Resilience
Welcome to May at Wondersource! This month, we're shining a spotlight on mental health in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.
Achieving peak performance doesn’t just involve skill and determination, it's also about nurturing the mental well-being of your team, supporting them to effectively manage stress, make better decisions and feel confident in their roles. We’re passionate about supporting employees to live healthier both mentally and physically and thrive. Our founder started from a place of burnout herself, and has witnessed way too many people suffer with mental health conditions, chronic stress and illness challenges which ultimately resulted in poorer performance.
And it’s never been more important to start investing in well-being. According to a recent study from Harvard, 50% of the population will develop at least one disorder by the age of 75. While, Gallup’s latest poll highlighted that the world is more stressed and unhappy than ever before. We know that chronic illness is on the rise globally, with 60% of US adults having at least one illness. Meanwhile, we also know that stress is a major contributor to illness and mental health struggles with Dr. Mark Hyman stating that 95% of all illness is caused or worsened by stress.
The Financial Times regularly writes about how mental health and chronic illness challenges are affecting workers and productivity and recently shared that the UK workforce is the sickest in the developed world. More alarming, is that the biggest relative jump in economic inactivity due to long-term sickness is in the young, not the old. We can no longer ignore that the modern employee simply needs more comprehensive support. Everything from improving sleep to supporting gut health to challenging negative thoughts to developing unshakeable and resilient mindsets and more, all things that support the overall wellbeing and effectiveness of your team.
Having witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that mental fitness and holistic health education and support can have, we’ve seen our clients and their teams effectively manage stress, support their mental health, and subsequently lower their disease risk, and enhance their focus, joy, confidence and effectiveness.
We are committed to healing the working world and supporting employees to feel their best and we’re thrilled with the results we’ve had so far. Of the employees who participated in our programs, 86% of employees saw an increase in confidence and self-esteem as leaders, 93% of employees used Wondersource to foster and strengthen team relationships and 80% of employees say job satisfaction has increased while using our solutions
Having worked with clients across the globe, we’ve found the best outcomes are universal and include:
Collective Empowerment
Our programming provides a unique opportunity for people to come together and share experiences, challenges, and successes in a safe and supportive environment. This collective empowerment fosters a sense of belonging and unity, strengthening interpersonal relationships and building a cohesive team culture. When employees feel seen, supported and valued, they're more motivated to contribute their best, leading to enhanced team performance. We’ve seen that one of the greatest benefits of our programs is that teams discuss our sessions outside of work and support each other to implement the learnings, building cohesiveness, strengthening relationships and providing more support as individuals collectively learn and work on themselves.
Stress Management
The demands of today’s work environment can be overwhelming, leading to stress and burnout. Our mental fitness, functional medicine and professional development programming, equips teams with effective stress management techniques that can be immediately implemented. We cover everything that employees need to know when it comes to managing stress from supporting gut health to lowering inflammation to mindfulness to acceptance which all work in tandem to create meaningful changes. By learning how to develop healthy coping mechanisms, build resilience in the face of adversity and support themselves on an on-going basis, you’ll find a less stressed team that is a more focused, productive, and innovative.
Enhanced Communication
Effective communication is a cornerstone of success in any organization. Our programs help teams develop better communication skills, not only in their professional roles but also in their personal lives. This improved communication fosters collaboration, idea-sharing, a positive work environment and connection, a key for mental health and overcoming loneliness. When everyone is on the same page, the results are astounding—higher efficiency, smoother operations, and ultimately, superior performance.
Boosted Confidence and Motivation
Confident and motivated employees are key to exceptional performance. When team members believe in their abilities and are driven to excel, the results are tangible: increased productivity, greater creativity, and a willingness to take on new challenges.
Problem-Solving and Creativity
A healthy mindset opens the door to innovative thinking and effective problem-solving. By empowering your team to approach challenges with clarity and creativity, they’ll learn together how to overcome obstacles, embrace new perspectives, and think outside the box. A team that can adapt and find solutions is a team that drives performance even in the face of complex issues.
Increased Focus and Resilience
In the midst of a demanding and uncertain business environment, maintaining focus and resilience is crucial. Equipping your team with techniques to stay focused, even during high-pressure situations, allows them to learn to bounce back from setbacks and approaching challenges with a positive outlook. With greater focus and resilience, your team is unstoppable, achieving targets and pushing the boundaries of success.
Investing in mental fitness education, holistic health and professional development coaching and support for your team is a strategic move that not only enhances performance but also cultivates a culture of well-being and growth and one where employees feel seen and cared for and motivated to show up and do the work. We encourage you to explore the transformative benefits of our programming. When you prioritize the mental fitness and success of your team, you're investing in a future of sustained excellence, innovation, and thriving performance.
