Social wellness is achieved when we are intentional about healthy communication and making a positive impact in the spaces we occupy. Here are 5 tops for leaders to help you exercise social wellness at work.
- Communicate:
- Verbal: speaking face to face, this includes video, greeting others warmly
- Non-verbal: acknowledge others by making eye contact and listening
- Contribute: information, a compliment, or a helping hand to get the job done
- Courteous: practice politeness (saying please, thank you, you are welcome), respecting other’s personal space
- Considerate: share the work, be mindful of people’s desire to connect with others and contribute to their environment in a meaningful way
- Conscious: of other’s unspoken needs. What might people need now and later? Try to leave something of value behind
