So I was doing some online shopping on Country Road Group (nothing surprising there) but what caught my eye was this stunning model!

I’m so used to brands using 20 year old somethings for all their e-commerce images, but this was refreshing to see.

Country Road nailing age diversity 👏🏻

Can we now please normalise this across the industry?!

After 2+ years of working from home, I’ve gathered an extensive list of the kinds of A+ moves companies have made to genuinely improve employee mental health, and the ones that kinda miss the mark.👀
 
What they think will help:
🎸A virtual musical performance from a D-grade musician
🧘🏽‍♀️One yoga class
🏃‍♀️Lunch time group run 
💳A gift card to Bunnings  
🙃Avoiding the issues all together
 
What actually helps:
🧠Mental health days
⚖️Balancing workload with appropriate employee numbers
🗣Access to therapy/someone to talk to
💻Flexible working
🍩Snacks + free food (maybe that’s just me though)

I’m a pretty anxious person, that comes as no surprise to many.🤷🏼‍♀️
 
But being anxious in the workplace, especially when it comes to the big client presentations and important moments, you need something up your sleeve to break the ice and get into a groove.🕺🏻
 
So what’s my secret? Cracking as many bad jokes and puns as humanly possible. 🤭
 
You might think this would just have people laughing at me, not always with me. And look, you’re not wrong…
 
But I’ve found over the years that being known as the comic relief can be incredibly beneficial:
 
✅It reduces stress, not only for oneself but those around you
✅Breaks the ice for everyone involved – goodbye tumble weed
✅Helps you make work besties faster – a good bonding opportunity
✅Improves your mental health (this is probably scientifically proven somewhere)
✅Can give you a greater sense of belonging
✅Builds better trust
 
I will leave you with a joke that’s sure to break the ice for any awkward meeting.
 
Why did the PowerPoint presentation cross the road? To get to the other slide…🤣

Late last year I was totally burnt-out. I had spread myself so thin, one day I got to a point where I just burst into tears over breakfast. 😰

I had finally hit my breaking point. 
 
I mentioned in a post earlier this week I’ve been feeling burnt out again, but this time around I’ve been taking measures to avoid hitting a breaking point. 🙌🏼

💡I only post content when I feel like it or feel inspired 
🛀🏼I take time off when I need to, to recoup my energy
🗣I let others know when I’ve feeling overwhelmed – you don’t have to suffer alone
 
But the biggest thing? Checking in with a therapist, to just talk and get advice on how to maintain my mental health! 
 
I’ve been loving Lyf Support App and chatting with a therapist on the go available 24/7 from the convenience of my phone.💖
 
If you’re suffering from signs of burn out, make sure you’re kind to yourself and take a rest. We’re human – we can’t be expected to be at 110% every day.

This is my fool proof, non-disputable, “scientifically proven” list of the kinds of people you find in the work place.✍️
 
Be sure to tag your friends in the comment, but to make things a little more fun don’t tell them which one they are, let them guess…
 
☕️The coffee addict – they’re probably from Melbourne
📧The one who has it all figured out – the person we all need in our life whose desk is spotless, they have 0 unread emails at all times and they are the reason we have a booking for every team lunch. Thank you!
🤣The office stand up – honestly the best person in the office
🤫The gossip – they’re always in the know before anything has even happened
🍩The snacker – you’ve heard of the black market, but have you heard of the secret snack drawer?!
⏰The early bird – I don't think they've ever enjoyed a sleep in
👵🏻The lifer – rumour has it they were born and raised in the office
👩‍👧The work mum – they will adopt anyone and everyone, always have time for a chat and provide the tastiest baked goods
👯‍♀️The work bestie – your ride or die buddy that you’re only friends with out of convenience, but if they quit, then so do you
💃🏻The best dressed – the human form of Vogue 
 
Which one are you?!👇🏼
