I’ve been reflecting a lot on Volunteer week, the theme of which this year is “Uniquely us”. Nothing makes the point better than reading the posts from other people about what voluntary things they do in their spare time – some surprising, some obvious, some well-suited, some totally off the wall. The same when reflecting on my own experiences of volunteering – · At a Saturday night soup kitchen · As a Samaritan, back In the day · With the National Trust · Mentoring for Lean in Leeds and The Coaching Academy · As a human rights lawyer on Jamaican Death Row. My upcoming online course, Workplace Wellbeing: 7 Steps to Wellness Success, also touches on the importance of volunteering. It’s well documented that Scientists believe altruistic behaviour, “giving back”, releases endorphins in the brain, producing the positive feeling known as the “helper's high.” I can relate. And it’s not just altruism either, as you can also grow personally too: · Gaining a sense of perspective and gratitude · understanding the importance of the provision of accessible mental health services; · working as part of a team doing hard manual labour · sharing professional experiences to further develop as a coach · doing a piece of work pro-bono so profoundly affecting that it changed the entire course of my career What do you do to give back? What have you found to be the benefits both to the people you serve but also for your own personal growth? Do you recommend it? To find out more about the course, why not join the free introductory webinar 12.15-1pm Tue 2nd July. Link in comments section below. May be you’ll be inspired around the value of volunteering too. #volunteerweek #volunteering #volunteer #helpershigh #giveback #givingback

🌟 Prioritizing Employee Well-Being? Think Volunteering! 🌟 In the vast sea of mental health benefits touted to uplift our work lives, a groundbreaking Oxford University study reveals a surprising truth: Not all interventions are created equal. 🚫📱 From sleep apps to relaxation routines and even coaching, it turns out many don't quite hit the mark on boosting mental well-being for employees. But here's the silver lining: Volunteering shines bright as a beacon of hope! ✨ Employees who receive paid time off to volunteer not only find a deeper sense of belonging and collaboration but also feel more supported in navigating stress. 🤝 Let's champion a volunteering culture within our teams and watch as we all grow stronger together. 💪 #EmployeeWellBeing #VolunteeringMatters #HRInnovation #PeopleRockHR
