Once at work, this fantastic creature instantly manages to annihilate the personal part and has a completely clear mind for the job, although on the way he\/she has just received the discouraging result of some important medical tests; then, no matter how stressful and difficult the workday was (an important project is about to fail), he\/she walks in the house serenely, smiling.<\/p>\n<p>We are not fairy tale creatures, and it is time to give up this fantasy. Our emotional maps are much more refined than that. We are imperfect human beings with complex emotional lives that cannot be put into big and small boxes: we bring our home life to work and our work life home. What affects us personally will have an influence on our work, as much as professional aspects will influence our private lives. I guess you can find some examples by yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Our emotional health does not always stay the same, but changes along a continuum, depending on our life circumstances and stages of life. We can feel discouraged, mentally exhausted, scared, etc. and we need a specialized and compassionate response.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, this was a taboo subject in professional contexts. The rule was: there is no emotional life, there are only employees with a skill set who perform or not. In recent years, however, consistent signals have begun to appear that things are not like that at all, and the pandemic has certainly accelerated the paradigm shift. Whether it was anxiety, the much-debated &#8216;languishing&#8217; or the more recent &#8216;quiet quitting&#8217;, themes related to our mental health took center stage. Business has understood that people are the most important resource of a company and investing in their emotional and behavioral health is the wisest move.<\/p>\n<p>What did this mean to you, the employee? The approaches touch on several points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some companies have developed complex Mental Health at Work strategies that influence organizational climate, culture, best practice standards, procedures, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Others focused on EAP-type programs &#8211; employee assistance programs through which 1:1 psychological support sessions for employees are financially covered by the company.<\/li>\n<li>Other companies have focused on education: awareness and information programs on topics related to human behavior and the functioning of the mind<\/li>\n<li>Others have invested in developing employees a set of skills necessary for emotional hygiene (resilience, calmness, etc.) through workshops and trainings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Discussing all this, analysts at McKinsey talk about emotional and behavioral health programs as the &#8220;next revolution&#8221; in HR. Moreover, at the end of September 2022, United Nations agencies launched two different publications with the aim of preventing the creation of negative organizational climates and providing protection and psychological support for employees.<\/p>\n<p>Companies can no longer ignore that they work with people. And that&#8217;s good.
