Six tips for managers
The organisational and psychosocial working environments are closely linked and these are areas in which managers have a special responsibility.
Management advice
- Treat your employees politely and with respect every single day. Feeling heard and seen strengthens self-esteem.
- Praise your colleagues. The performance of our work can help reassure us that we are good enough and that we matter.
- Talk about both formal and informal matters. Good communication is built on trust.
- Celebrating success in achieving individual and shared goals helps create a sense of belonging and community in the workplace. Feeling that you are part of something meaningful helps strengthen mental health.
- Being attentive of the person you are speaking with, show your employees that they mean a lot to you and pay attention to one another to create a community. Feeling part of a group helps people to feel safe and satisfied.
- Challenge your employees. When we perform our duties and overcome our challenges, we find that both our self-confidence and our enjoyment of work increase.
