The impact of our words
In today’s fast paced world, of instant messaging/voice notes/email etc, there can be a tendency to want to cut corners when communicating.
But how much longer does it take to thank someone, or ask how they’re doing?
The value in taking the time to treat each conversation personally has so much value. Especially when words are all we have to go by when communicating via email.
The day I set up my Mum’s Hotmail account I remember saying ‘Just treat every email like a real face to face conversation’ and I still stand by this sentiment.
On World Mental Health day, it’s important to shine a light on how we communicate within business.
However busy we are, we are all still people. People overcoming personal challenges that may not be so visible to others.
With so many people working remotely, the communication style we all chose to use, could make such a difference to how someone is feeling.
I believe taking a genuine interest in people’s wellbeing should sit at the heart of business.
ReWork is all about people. Treating people well, being genuinely interested in helping others, and providing a gateway for people to experience enjoyment.
Whether it’s the way you communicate via email, how you support your co-workers, or colleagues, or yourself, let’s make mental health something we focus on, in and outside of work.
