Welcome to the latest episode of the Zero Shoulds Given podcast as we explore a topic that's close to Yvonne's heart – workplace wellbeing.  Yvonne shares ideas that you can incorporate into most workplace environments and proves that promoting wellbeing in a workplace does not have to be a part of your job description nor does it have to cost a significant amount of money.   In addition, Yvonne shares details of the most crucial thing that her current employer does to support her and her colleague's mental health and urges any employer listening to consider making a similar programme available to their own employees. As we navigate the complexities of the modern professional landscape, it's crucial to prioritize our mental, physical, and emotional health.  We promise this episode will at the very least open your mind on how little changes in supporting employees and colleagues in the workplace can have a huge impact on their overall wellbeing.  If you wish to access more information on self-development, wellness, and mental health here are some useful links:  https://turn2me.ie/  https://www.tcd.ie/cihs/cpd-courses/wellness/ https://www.mhfaireland.ie/w/ https://www.instagram.com/zeroshouldsgiven/  https://www.instagram.com/annalehanecoaching/  https://www.instagram.com/yvonnemurray.ie/  https://www.aware.ie/  Disclaimer: Please note, this podcast is not intended to replace therapy, it is for entertainment and informational purposes only, if you need support with your mental health, please contact a qualified professional.  A list of qualified professionals in Ireland can be found via https://iacp.ie/page/therapists?co=6&cat=11   #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastireland #wellnesspodcast #wellbeingpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #irishpodcasters #personaldevelopment #mentalhealth #selfgrowth #thoughts #thoughtprovoking #mindset #mindsetmatters #irishposdcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #welbeingpodcast #workplacewellbeing #hr #humanresources #workplace #corporate #EAP #EAPprogramme #workplacewellness
