June is World Workplace Wellbeing Month — the perfect time to call out some outdated workplace norms that are long overdue for retirement.
Like the idea that being ‘always on’ means you’re more committed. Or that taking a proper lunch break makes you less productive. Or that talking about mental health is a ‘personal issue’ and not a workplace one.
These tired habits don’t belong in modern, healthy organisations.
The truth is: people do their best work when they feel supported, trusted, and able to be human at work.
That means recognising the importance of rest, setting realistic expectations, and creating space for conversations about how people really are.
This month, we’re inviting leaders, managers and colleagues alike to reflect on the hidden, unspoken ‘rules’ in your workplace culture.
Which ones help your people thrive? And which ones hold them back?
Because workplace wellbeing isn’t about adding a fruit bowl to the office or hosting a mindfulness session once a year — it’s about shifting the culture, one conversation and one policy at a time.
Let’s be the generation that makes work work for people.
