Last week, we talked about the state of work in the U.S. Previously, we've spent some time talking about different approaches to work. There's a lot to learn from how others approach work.

We revisit an article we wrote about the work week in Iceland: https://t.co/ipHCcA8Ipu

Are you curious about the state of workplace wellness in America? Lucky for you, the APA published a report highlighting where the U.S. workforces stands. And, we broke it down for you on our new podcast episode!

We believe it's super important to keep a pulse on how the workforce is feeling around mental health and well-being issues at work. The APA recently came out with a report on the state of work in the US in 2023. We review the findings in our new article!

Happy Sunday!

We hope that you take a few minutes today to reflect on something positive that happened in the last week.

Taking time to savor what you're grateful for can give you a boost of energy that will start your next week off on a positive note!

The summer is halfway over. We know - it's flying by.

What wellness goal have you been able to get closer to acheiving this summer?

Where do you still need to make progress?

Even small steps toward a goal can make a big difference.

We have focused on traumatic events (like harassment) at work for the past 2 weeks.

The harmful mental health consequences of these events are real.

If you've experienced trauma, it's normal to have negative side effects. Getting help is not shameful - it's self-compassionate.

[Workr Beeing @WorkrBeeing]

It's a heavy but important topic - trauma in the workplace is real, and can have negative consequences for you and others at work.

How does workplace trauma occur and what are the implications for employees?

When employees who harass coworkers are not held accountable for their actions, a strong signal is sent: that you can get ahead even if you're behaving poorly and harming others.

What signal is being sent at your organization?

[Workr Beeing @WorkrBeeing]

Victims of sexual harassment at work often find it challenging to speak up about their experiences.

Zero-tolerance policies and open avenues for reporting can help.

Does your organization formally and informally support those who have been harassed?

[Workr Beeing @WorkrBeeing]

Harassment in the workplace is no joke.

It has serious consequences for employee wellbeing.

What can be done to stop it? Learn more in our new post: https://t.co/FRiePUhb3v

Do you know someone who has experienced trauma at work?

How can you show empathy for them, and let them know that you're a safe person to talk through issues with?

[Workr Beeing @WorkrBeeing]

We covered a heavy topic - trauma at work - this week.

For those of you who have experienced or witnessed:

Bullying
Harassment
Injury
Violence,

Feeling overwhelmed is normal, feeling anxious is normal, feeling down is normal.

Support can help. We see you!

[Workr Beeing @WorkrBeeing]

Trauma can be passed along between significant others. That means that, if you experience trauma at work, your partner might suffer (and vice versa).

While solving for trauma at the root is ideal, focusing on showing empathy to one another can promote post-traumatic growth.

[Workr Beeing @WorkrBeeing]

Our new episode takes a deep dive into a somewhat taboo topic - experiencing trauma at work.

New research suggests that traumatic experiences at work could have a negative impact on you - and an equal impact on those you love.

Experiences of trauma at work cause significant mental health declines.

Victims are not to blame. If you're a leader allowing people in your workplace to bully or harass others, you're part of the problem.

Trauma requires healing. Recognition of the problem is the first step.

[Workr Beeing @WorkrBeeing]

Traumatic experiences can happen at work, whether we recognize that possibility or not.

Unlike regular stressors, trauma - like bullying or harassment - is overwhelming and have significant negative impacts on health.

If you've experienced trauma at work, you're not alone!

[Workr Beeing @WorkrBeeing]
