#62: Who is responsible for employee’s psychological resilience with Jarosław Świątek we got this

In this episode, Lech Guzowski and Jarosław Świątek discuss ideas around creating a healthy work environment, managing stress, understanding the effects of modern overstimulation on mental health, and ensuring emotional resilience in staff. Jarosław, who is a neuropsychologist and the founder of the School of Emotional Intelligence, provides insightful observations on how both employees and employers can contribute to a healthier, more effective workplace. They also discuss common errors employers make while trying to create a stress-free environment.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

- The sometimes overlooked role and responsibility of the employee to manage their own stress levels at the workplace

- Environment vs Culture: How employers need to think beyond bean bags and free coffee when seeking to create a stress-free work environment

- The mechanisms of motivation: how too LITTLE stress leads to productivity loss and how too MUCH stress leads to mistakes and burnout

- The importance of meaning: if an organisations’ leaders lack a meaningful mission themselves, can one be manufactured for the low-level employees?
