Positive Psychology in the Workplace
According to the organisation, Great Place To Work, the companies on their '100 Best Companies To Work For' list experience:
-
Half the staff turnover of their peers.
-
Employees who are six times more likely to recommend their employer to others.
-
Eighty percent of their employees look forward to coming to work and feel psychologically and emotionally healthy.
-
Ninety percent of employees say their company is a great place to work and feel cared for.
The majority of the companies on this list recognise that their employees want, and deserve, more from them. They understand and respect their people have complex lives outside of work as individuals, families and communities, and take steps to support them holistically. They show genuine care, empathy and compassion, and demonstrate that they listen and value their teams. They promote a sense of belonging and work hard to foster a culture of positivity, inclusivity and purpose.
To achieve this success, organisations have made a commitment to build a positive and healthy work environment that is enjoyable, productive, and engaging. This involves integrating key positive psychology practices in the workplace to help people thrive and perform at their best.
Positive psychology is not just a buzzword; it's a science-backed approach that empowers individuals and teams to thrive. Our core services are underpinned by positive psychology research and draw on a range of approaches including strengths, autonomy, compassionate leadership, self-determination theory, PERMA (Positive emotions, Engagement, positive Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment) theory, growth mindset, empathy building, wellbeing, resilience, optimism & hope, gratitude, kindness, self-esteem and mindfulness.
Let me bust some myths around positive psychology and wellbeing for you:
MYTH
Positive psychology is all about being happy all the time
REALITY
Positive psychology promotes a balanced emotional experience, including a healthy acceptance of negative emotions. It encompasses various dimensions, including physical health, mental health, purpose, and relationships, not just happiness.
MYTH
Wellbeing is a luxury only accessible to those with ample free time
REALITY
Enhancing wellbeing doesn't require significant time commitments. Small daily habits and mindset shifts can make a big difference.
MYTH
Mindset doesn't impact leadership effectiveness
REALITY
Leadership effectiveness is closely tied to mindset, as it influences decision-making, adaptability, and team dynamics.
MYTH
You must be an optimist to have high wellbeing
REALITY
Realistic optimism, which acknowledges challenges while maintaining a positive outlook, can contribute to wellbeing.
MYTH
You can't advance in your career if you prioritise work-life balance
REALITY
Prioritising work-life balance can improve your performance, creativity, and decision-making, potentially boosting your career.
MYTH
Positive psychology is a self-help fad without empirical scientific support
REALITY
Positive psychology has a strong foundation in psychology, is grounded in rigorous research and evidence-based interventions, and has been evolving for decades.
By focusing on strengths, resilience, and a positive mindset, we unlock your full potential, leading to enhanced performance, exceptional leadership, and a profound sense of wellbeing. When you choose positive psychology, you choose a path to sustainable success and lasting happiness.
We also offer executive and team coaching services to support organisations to fully embed these strategies in daily practices, develop effective leaders & managers, and encourage reflective, forward thinking and engaged employees.
Join us and experience the profound impact it can have on your life and your organisation.
At the end, it's not about what you have, or even what you've accomplished. It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.

Why Focus on Burnout Prevention at Work?
It has been widely reported that businesses globally are experiencing an increase in staff mental health and wellbeing issues, and employee engagement and productivity is at a worrying low; with only 14% of employees in Europe feeling engaged in 2022.
In the UK, employers are losing around £42 billion and 18 million working days due to employee stress, depression and anxiety, and the challenges brought by the pandemic only served to highlight the need for positive action around mental wellbeing at work.
In addition, how well organisations promote and support mental and physical wellbeing is increasingly important to employees. Recently many have been voting with their feet and seeking roles in organisations that actively promote wellbeing at work by offering flexible or condensed working hours, professional development coaching, gym membership, and the option to work from home. Some have even chosen to take a pay cut in order to experience a better quality of life and reduce work stress.
Research tells us that investing in employee wellbeing can lead to increased resilience, better employee engagement, reduced sickness absence and higher performance and productivity. However, wellbeing initiatives often fall short of their potential because they stand alone, isolated from the everyday business. To gain real benefit, employee wellbeing priorities must be integrated throughout an organisation, embedded in its culture, leadership and people management.
We can help you improve employee wellbeing by building resilience, courage, self-esteem and a more positive mindset at all levels of the organisation, as well as exploring practical changes to encourage a better work-play relationship.
