How many people will continue in the same job for another 20 years? Many people who reach midlife and want a change, maybe boredom has kicked in, their salary expectations have dropped, their role no longer exists or they no longer find it fulfilling. Continuous learning makes you more employable and keeps your mind more resistant to long-term diseases like dementia (which studies have shown*). Career coaches can help you find that next career move, as this can take time and work to get a good fit. *BMJ Open. 2019; 9(7): e027719 - Continuing education for the prevention of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s-type dementia

Monday morning musings - I don't like the term "went back to work" when talking about a mother returning to the paid job force. We never stopped working! In fact, the level of applicable "work experience" increases significantly when you're in the role of home operations management or primary care giver. I have never met a workforce more capable of whipping together a last minute class party (event planning), whilst simultaneously calculating logistical olympics in order to get 3 kids to 3 practices in 3 locations at the same time (logistics), and on the same day schedule a summer's worth of doctor appointments and camps (Administration), and cheerlead your teen out of their omnipresent sulky outlook on life (Human Resources). You want a KPI report by tomorrow? No problem! Need to pull together a conference call with 9 different time zones? In my sleep! Design a way to maximize client onboarding and automate return? Easy!

Here’s a gentle reminder as you celebrate the invaluable contributions of administrative professionals. “True success comes from leveraging the diverse talents and perspectives of everyone on the team,”so here's to celebrating the collective intelligence and collaboration that make our workplaces thrive.

Are You Happy at Work? During our monthly Webb Industries Town Hall meeting, the importance of enjoying our work environment was underscored. It's not just about the tasks we perform but also about our overall experience at work. As we bid farewell to Grace Seokane, a 20-year veteran, and welcomed five recruits through the Youth Employment Programme (YES) in South Africa, the palpable positive energy among Webb employees was a testament to our welcoming culture. Think about it: we spend at least eight hours a day at work, half of our waking life. Why stay if the workplace is toxic, unpleasant, or constantly stressful? No amount of money can compensate for not enjoying such a significant part of your life. My message to my Webb colleagues: You can shape your work experience. If you're in a toxic environment, remember: 'Leaving a toxic workplace is an act of bravery, not defeat.' Are you happy where you are? If so, your contribution to making it even better is invaluable. If not, take the brave step and move on. You owe it to yourself and your colleagues.

Once in a while we experience societal events such as nationwide protests and it’s moments like these that reveal whether your employer genuinely cares about your wellbeing as an employee or not.  If you are given the option to work from home or time off consider yourself fortunate. The dynamics shift significantly when your immediate supervisor has the authority to determine who works from home and who must go into the office. Oh unto you if you are blessed with one of those supervisors with something to proof, demanding unwavering attendance. Before accepting a job offer, normalize conducting a check on how they treat their employees in such instances,  It allows you  to gauge how supportive the company is of its employees' safety and well-being.

An anecdote from Ulysses S. Grant reminds us to face the facts (and our fears) by counting our wolves. This story appears in our workshop "Resilience: Timeless Wisdom for Modern Workplace Challenges" Learn more at https://lnkd.in/dMB3dNN4
