Thriving workplaces



We spend half our health in trying to gain wealth and then we spend half our wealth to gain back our health. I don’t think that is smart economics. At work, stress can accumulate quickly. Occasionally, a little stress can push you to do more. However, it is not the primary motivating factor for people to be productive and creative. If stress were really a motivating factor, strife-torn countries like Lebanon and Afghanistan would have been world leaders! For a person to be creative and inventive, his mind has to be stress-free, and his environment peaceful.

In our rush to make it to the top, we cannot treat our workforce like machines. When there is a cordial atmosphere where people feel valued and respected, where their energy levels are high, they will be willing to do a lot more. Also, allowing ourselves and those who work for us to have meaningful rest is non-negotiable if we want to build thriving workplaces.

Do you know the formula for stress? It’s too much to do, too little time and not enough energy. We can’t reduce our responsibilities or add more hours to our day. But we can definitely increase our energy levels. When you create a space where people come together to meditate for just a few minutes each day and then share a meal, you will notice a remarkable shift in energy. People feel refreshed and recharged; the atmosphere becomes lighter. It is worth building workplaces that are bubbling with creative ideas and happy employees.
