Employee turnover is costing you, but how much?

Enter your company’s metrics to see how much employee turnover is costing you each year.

• I’m not a top notch executive assistant unless I’m available to my executive 24/7.
• I can’t close out of my inbox, I might miss something.
• I hate disappointing people, I can’t say no.

• Your time away from your work is just as important to your contribution? When you rest, you also assimilate information and are able to view things with a new lens.
• Closing out of your inbox (even if just for 30 minutes) leads to increased focus and fewer mistakes?
• You recognized there are only 24 hours in a day? With every “yes” you are by default saying “no” to something else. Perhaps something more important?

1. Mindfulness and Self-Awareness
   Developing mindfulness practices allows you to become aware of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior. This self-awareness is crucial in recognizing and addressing limiting beliefs.
2. Cognitive Restructuring
   Question, challenge, and reframe unhelpful thoughts. Work on replacing them with positive, empowering statements that support your well-being and career growth.
3. Boundary Setting
   Establish clear parameters around your time and energy. In order to relieve stress you are going to need to set clear parameters for yourself. Setting healthy boundaries will not only help you manage stress, it will also help you show up more strategically.

 

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet many people struggle to access the care they need.
