It's no secret that artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of work. But one question looms large: will AI strip us of our humanity—or help us become more of who we're meant to be? As technology accelerates, it's easy to fear that empathy, connection, and self-awareness will fall behind. But what if the secret to thriving in the age of AI is not rejecting it—but learning how to pair it with something deeply human?In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Rasmus Hougaard, Managing Partner of Potential Project and best-selling author of More Human, explore how leaders can use AI not to replace their humanity—but to amplify it.Rasmus Hougaard is the author of Compassionate Leadership and The Mind of the Leader, and has been recognized by Thinkers50 as one of the world's top leadership thinkers. He coaches C-suite leaders at global companies like IKEA, Accenture, and Unilever, and regularly writes for Harvard Business Review and Forbes.Things you will learn in this episode:• The Power of Common Humanity• How AI Can Make Us More Human• The Human Operating Model: Awareness, Wisdom, Compassion• Leaders Must Set Context, Not Just Deliver Content• Meditation as the Antidote to AI Overload• How to Develop the Beginner's Mind• Compassion in Action: Doing Hard Things in a Human Way• The Inner and Outer Technologies of LeadershipTune in now and discover how you can lead not just with your head, but with your heart, in an AI-powered world.Resources: ✅• Potential Project: https://www.potentialproject.com/ • Vipassana Meditation: https://www.dhamma.org/ • Quote by Zen master Shunryu Suzuki"In the expert's mind, there are few possibilities.

Neste episódio da quarta temporada do Metanoia Lab, patrocinado pela Oi Soluções, o Andrea (andreaiorio.com) analisa uma frase do Rasmus Hougaard, fundador do Potential Project e colunista na Harvard Business Review, que fala sobre os motivos pelos quais a IA nunca substituirá os melhores líderes. Através de um modelo matricial de 4 quadrantes, no episódio são mapeadas 4 grandes categorias de atividades dos líderes, diferenciando onde cabem mais atividades humanas ou atividades da Inteligência Artificial.

When you think of good leadership, what comes to mind? Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter argue that good leadership isn't rooted in power or public speaking skills. They say that, in fact, mindfulness, selflessness, and compassion are the key components. “If [you are] focused on things that are going to feed [your] ego, [you're] not necessarily going to be doing the things that will be most helpful to other people,” Carter explains. “[And] what the research and our field work really showed us is that in the long term, people don't want to follow you.” In this episode, you'll learn how to cultivate selflessness as a leader without being a pushover. You'll also learn a simple ritual that could help you start you day with more focus and a clearer sense of your priorities.Carter and Hougaard are the coauthors of The Mind of the Leader: How to Lead Yourself, Your People, and Your Organization for Extraordinary Results. Key episode topics include: leadership, managing people, managing employees, managing yourself, psychology, self-awareness, mediation, mindfulness, compassion, selflessness.

Tidligere ekstern lektor i makroøkonomi på CBS Rasmus Hougaard Nielsen møder mig til en snak om hvad der er sket i hans liv siden han blev fyret.Samtalen er optaget i januar 2023 i København omtrent ét år efter han og Ole Bjerg blev fyret, for at stå ved det de havde skrevet i et personligt brev til deres studerende.

Han deler hvordan det påvirkede ham følelsesmæssigt, samt hvordan hans hustru og private arbejdsplads tacklede mediestormen.Langt de fleste mennesker var i følge Rasmus Hougaard med til at gøre onde ting under corona, men det er ikke ensbetydende med at de er onde mennesker. Vi taler om "den opretholdende løgn" og det at gøre noget man godt selv ved er forkert.I ekstra-episoden som ligger på min Patreon-profil kommer vi ind på godt og ondt samt Gud og s*tan. Rasmus fortæller i øvrigt om sin personlige tro i forhold til spiritualitet og åndelighed, og hvordan den blev forstærket under clrona.Vi taler også om:- Hvorfor Folketinget er opreklameret, samt hvad der ville ske hvis vi gav politikerne orlov i fire år- Hvorfor vi ikke har demokrati men monarki i Danmark- Hvordan velfærdsstaten er blevet til en klientgørende formynderstat- Hvordan Rasmus har slået op med staten efter en lang "karriere" i den- Hvorfor staten tror at den ejer vores børn- Vores værste clarona-mareridt- Twitter files- Retsstatens fortræffeligheder- Skam og ignorance- Hævn og tilgivelse- Hvorfor skatter går til de forkerte ting i dag- Store bededag- Det fælles højeste princip: Gud eller Statan?Rasmus Hougaard Nielsen er 39 år og uddannet økonom.

If you struggle to have difficult conversations then you aren't alone. According to Rasmus Hougaard, founder and CEO of global research, leadership development and consulting firm, Potential Project, only one in 100 of us are naturally wired to be able to give difficult feedback the right way, instinctively. “You really have to step up if you want to lead people and learn how to do the hard things. Because it's the most compassionate and kind thing you can do. Everything else is indecent, period.”Rasmus and the team at Potential Project have spent the last three years undertaking a huge research project to find out just how CEOs and leaders do hard stuff with humanity. In this episode, Rasmus shares why he learned the art of mindfulness in Buddhist monasteries not just as a way of driving employee wellness, but actually driving leadership behaviours. He also explains why, if we care deeply about people, it's on us to be direct and to give them the feedback they need to grow to be the best version of themselves that they can be. To find out more about the four behaviours Rasmus and the team uncovered, to create more trust, psychological safety, and improve performance in your individual employees, your teams, and the culture, download and listen to this episode. Book recommendationsThe Tibetan Book of Living and Dying - Sogyal RinpocheGood to Great - Jim CollinsOn today's podcast:Why mindfulness is your secret business weaponThe distinction between empathy and compassionWhy women are better leadersThe four behaviours that help do hard things humanely Links:Book: Compassionate LeadershipTwitter: @RasmusTPPLinkedin: Rasmus HougaardWebsite: Compassionate Leadership, Potential Project

Armed with meditation and other practices he learned from Buddhist traditions, Rasmus set out to found the Potential Project and change the working world. (1:02)Rethinking the Great Resignation. An unprecedented number of employees are quitting, or considering quitting. Rasmus reframes this as an opportunity for leaders to be compassionate to their existing employees, and a chance to attract new talent. (19:32) Get Enough Sleep. Get enough sleep and make time for yourself. Self-compassion is fundamental to resiliency. Before you can take care of others, and the world, you need to take care of yourself.

Rasmus shares that leadership today is about motivating teams of people behind a shared vision. Leadership is through influence and communication, rather than commands and mandates. (14:05)Wise Compassion. Rasmus' research found that the most effective leaders combined a caring attitude with business acumen and the courage to do difficult things. Good leaders can do hard things in a human way. (19:38)Relearning Being Human. Leadership in the 21st century is about unlearning management and relearning being human. Leaders should enter conversations with vulnerability and honesty. They should put aside traditional prescriptions for leadership, and rather focus on the individual, unique employee in front of them.

In today's episode we're exploring this quote, from Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter's book, The mind of The Leader 'If we as leaders want to engage the people we are leading, we need to show up as human beings not as an authority, not as status, not as hierarchy but as a human being talking to a human being'.

We are in the middle of a giant, global experiment in remote work. Even in the best of times, working from home is tricky. You're surrounded by distractions: pets, laundry, Netflix. But in the midst of this pandemic, WFH (as the millennials call it) is even harder, given that many of us are cooped up with our children, cut off from our coworkers, and overwhelmed by anxiety. Our guests, Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter, from Potential Project, are experts in bringing mindfulness into the workplace. In this episode, we explore solutions to four major problems: distraction, isolation, virtual collaboration, and balancing family life.

Marcel’s guest on this week’s Love In Action show is Jacqueline Carter. Jacqueline is the international partner and the North American director for Potential Project. She has over 20 years of experience working with organizations around the globe, including Cisco, Marriott and Google, to improve performance. She is also the co-author along with Rasmus Hougaard, of the exciting new book, The Mind of a Leader: How to Lead Yourself, Your People and Your Organization For Extraordinary Results. The book is based on extensive research, including assessments of more than 35,000 leaders, and reveals how leaders can disrupt how they lead by training their brains.  Most leaders are overwhelmed and overworked. Jacqueline calls it a leadership crisis. She says that it’s tough to be a leader today and it’s not getting easier. [4:30] Her research gave three major insights:  The workplace has dramatically changed - people are looking for meaning, purpose and happiness in their jobs. Creating an environment where people feel happy is a big task for leaders, and most feel ill-equipped to do it. [5:41] Leadership is an inner game - it starts with understanding, managing and leading your own mind before you can lead others. [6:30] Mindfulness, selflessness and compassion are the three core qualities that make great leaders. [6:43] We’re most stressed first thing in the morning because of cortisol spikes, so it’s the most important time to do mind training practices which will help settle the mind and give us more clarity. [8:17] If you don’t set an intention, your day will just happen. [9:00] Because of its neuroplasticity, we can change the way our brain looks and functions. [9:52] Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the moment, to be focused on the task at hand and aware of what’s going on around us. Our mind has a natural tendency to wander, and research shows that our attention span is getting smaller over time. However, attention matters in business. Mindfulness training helps to train the attentional muscles so we can be more focused and more effective. [13:33] Marcel asks Jacqueline how to practice mindfulness. She shares a simple A-B-C-D technique and invites listeners to join in. [16:25] The main reason meetings are not as effective as they can be, Jacqueline says, is because people are not paying attention, their minds are wandering. She shares how practicing mindfulness helped one organization decrease their meeting time by 35% and become more efficient. [22:47] Marcel asks what to do with our devices so we can be more mindful. Jacqueline comments that even the mere presence of a smartphone during a conversation negatively impacts our ability to feel connected with each other. She shares some practical tips to help us get the best of technology without letting it get the best of us. [28:10] Selflessness is not allowing our natural egoistic tendencies to get in the way of being a good leader. We naturally see the world from our own point of view. Selflessness asks us to be more intentional about others and their needs and how we can best be of service. The foundation of selflessness is bringing more humility and gratitude into our leadership. [30:35] Empathy is when we feel with someone. Compassion is more focused on how we can make their life easier. If as a leader, you can help to alleviate some of the unnecessary stress and pressure your workers face, you will be able to create a kinder and more effective workplace. [35:23] Jacqueline appeals to listeners to put your own oxygen mask on first. You can’t take care of other people if you’re not taking good care of yourself. Her research has proven that the most successful leaders are disciplined about taking care of themselves. [41:14] Resources PotentialProject.com  Email: jacqueline.carter@potentialproject.com 

This week on the donothing podcast, listen to my insightful conversation with corporate meditation and mindfulness coach Elizabeth Prather. Elizabeth has taught mindfulness in many settings and is passionate about using it to cultivate business environments where individuals can thrive and perform at their very best. In addition, she teaches mindfulness to individuals and coaches those who are struggling to find meaning and purpose in their lives while looking for support along the way. Elizabeth’s areas of expertise include managed care provider services operations, fast-paced and rapidly growing organizations, training, customer service, healthcare consulting, non-profit program management and travel management. Elizabeth’s “Mindfulness at Work” programs integrate her deep mindfulness practice and business acumen to ensure sustainable results for clients. As a Senior Consultant and Trainer with the Potential Project (a global leader in corporate-based mindfulness programs), Elizabeth brings her expertise to organizations looking for improved performance and culture change. Elizabeth divides her time between working and immersing herself into mindfulness and meditation through learning and extended retreats. She engaged in a three-year silent meditation retreat in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, which was a transformative experience. During that retreat, it became clear to her that she should share the benefits of mindfulness and meditation with others—especially in the work environment.

Researchers have found that the accelerated pace of modern office life is taking its toll on productivity, employee engagement, creativity and well-being. Faced with a relentless flood of information and distractions, our brains try to process everything at once increasing our stress, decreasing our effectiveness and negatively impacting our performance.  Ironically, we have become too overworked, unfocused, and busy to stop and ask ourselves the most important question: What can we do to break the cycle of being constantly under pressure, always-on, overloaded with information and in environments filled with distractions? Do we need to accept this as the new workplace reality and continue to survive rather than thrive in modern day work environments? What if your organisation's culture could be fuelled by creativity and productivity? It is possible to train the brain to respond differently to today's constant pressures and distraction? The secret to dealing with life's interruptions is incredibly simple: Give each distraction just “one second's” time, mindfully. Many companies turn to mindfulness to help their workers become more attentive and less distracted. Today's guest has worked with a multitude of fortune 500 countries in over 22 countries. He is the founder and managing director of the Potential Project and the focus of today's show is his wonderful book “One Second Ahead”.

Today Ross and Antoinette met with Jane Grafton….   Jane is a certified coach (ICF) and senior trainer with the Potential Project, a leading global corporate-based mindfulness training company.   Jane shares the central insight she gained through her work with the Potential Project: the distinction between the talkative and the observing mind. The wandering, narrative mind goes off in all sorts of directions, and we have hardly any control over it, whereas that other part of us observes the wandering mind, and is a best described as a space of clarity and awareness.   Ross agreed, “Mindfulness is an important aspect of connecting with yourself, to be more balanced so as to harness the right energies.”   How can we sit in awareness? Jane shares, “the more we observe the wandering mind, the quieter it becomes over time.” The more we can withdraw from distractions and cultivate being present in the current moment, the more we can see things with clarity in ourselves and others and experience things around us thoroughly and without resistance. We then don’t draw upon the past or the future. To experience this space, we need to be here, now with a clear mind.   To connect meaningfully with each other having a clear mind is essential, as otherwise our perception is tainted by judgment, thoughts, preconceived ideas and we don’t see the other for who she or he is.   Being present with what is at this exact moment; to accept and feel what is happening, and to be present with family members, co-workers, a crisis, my fear or my energy.   Jane, “We can’t develop this capacity to be present without some serious pausing practice.” In this state of presence, valuable information is more likely to come to us compared to being in a hectic, panicky mode. “Slowing down, reflecting on what is happening around you and taking in the situation for what it is, keeps the mind free of assumptions,” says Ross.   Please listen to this podcast to hear all about the “IT” and how it is essential in our life.   Book recommendation of Jane: ‘The Mind of The Leader’ by Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter https://www.potentialproject.com/books/the-mind-of-the-leader/   Further links: Jane Grafton: https://www.simplytorealise.com/new-gallery/ Potential Project: https://www.potentialproject.com Mindfulness Professionals Network Singapore https://business.smu.edu.sg/mindfulness/Programmes/Mindfulness-Professionals-Network-Singapore

Mindfulness, osjälviskhet och medkännande är nycklarna till framgångsrikt ledarskap i vårt distraktionssamhälle. Det menar Rasmus Hougaard som har intervjuat hundratals ledare i globala storföretag.  Rasmus Hougaard är ursprungligen från Danmark och forskade i organisationsutveckling innan han grundade organisationen Potential Project. Han föreläser och utbildar över hela världen om mindfulness och har tidigare gett ut boken One second ahead om mindfulness på arbetsplatsen. Ett ledarskap för 2000-talet När han och kollegan Jacqueline Carter ställde sig frågan om vilket ledarskap som behövs för 2000-talet inledde de ett omfattande kartläggningsarbete. Efter flera tusen intervjuer med ledare på företag som Accenture och McKinsey i samarbete med Harvard Business Review landade de i de fynd som nu återfinns i boken The mind of the leader. De såg tre tydliga egenskaper som ledare behöver för att verka framgångsrikt idag. Att vara mindful handlar om att träna på att vara fokuserad och närvarande i stunden och i det som är viktigt för att hantera alla de distraktioner vi ständigt utsätts för. Att vara osjälvisk handlar om att motverka det som annars händer när någon blir premierad till ledare - egot växer! Osjälviskhet handlar om att "lämna egot i dörren" och leda mot det större syftet menar Rasmus Hougaard. Att visa medkänsla är viktigt för att våra hjärnor ska känna trygghet och vilja prestera. Det ger oss och våra medarbetare en känsla av att "jag tar emot dig om du faller". Tränar vi på de här egenskaperna blir vi bättre på dem. Hjärnan är plastisk och det vi gör ofta blir vi bättre på, precis som inom idrott. De här tre kvaliteterna bygger en kultur som sätter människan istället för lönsamheten i centrum. Men trots allt är lönsamhet en avgörande motor och drivkraft i företag och näringsliv. Så driver mindfulness, osjälviskhet och medkänsla resultat? Ja, menar Rasmus Hougaard och exemplifierar med historien om Marriott Hotel. När andra företag avskedade många medarbetare under den stora depressionen på 1920-talet valde Marriott att istället ta ännu bättre hand om sina medarbetare. Filosofin är och var att "tar vi hand om våra medarbetare tar de hand om våra gäster, som kommer tillbaka". Det vann de på långsiktigt och idag är Marriott en av de absolut största hotellkedjorna i världen. Mindfulness rustar oss i uppmärksamhetsekonomin Vi lever i en "uppmärksamhetsekonomi" där distraktioner i omvärlden ständigt hotar att stjäla vår uppmärksamhet och vår förmåga till fokus. Rasmus Hougaard beskriver hur vi upplever det här med begreppet PAID: press, alltid uppkopplade, informationsöverbelastning och distraktioner. Mindfulness är ett sätt att hantera utmaningen och istället lägga uppmärksamhet på det man själv vill och behöver långsiktigt. Du hittar mer om Rasmus Hougaard, hans bok och organisationen Potential Project här. Vår samarbetspartner Twitch Health vill påminna oss om att jobba med ergonomin på arbetsplatsen. Att arbeta på rätt sätt, med rätt redskap och bra beteenden är otroligt viktigt för både hälsa och prestation och det är lätt att glömma ergonomi i allt fokus på psykisk hälsa. Twitch Health erbjuder en tids- och kostnadseffektiv arbetsplatsscreening som framför allt fokuserar på hur var och en agerar och beter sig kring arbetsplatsen. Syftet är att få en hållbar och produktiv miljö på arbetet. Läs mer om insatser för ergonomi här.

Mindfulness, selflessness and compassion are keys to successful leadership in the attention economy of today. This is Rasmus Hougaard's conclusion after interviews with hundreds of C-level executives from leading global companies.  Originally from Denmark, Rasmus Hougaard was a researcher in organizational development before founding the organization Potential Project. Today he teaches mindfulness all over the world and has previously published the book One second ahead about mindfulness at work. A new leadership for our times After Rasmus Hougaard and his colleague Jacqueline Carter asked themselves what kind of leadership was needed in our times they launched an extensive research project. It took them hundreds of interviews with executives from companies like Accenture and McKinsey in cooperation with Harvard Business Review to reach the conclusions they present in their newly released book The mind of the leader. According to Hougaard and Carter, leaders need these three qualities to be successful today: Mindfulness helps us stay focused and present in spite of all the distractions that constantly fight for our attention. Selflessness counteracts the otherwise normal development when we are promoted to leaders - our ego grows! Selflessness means leaving our own ego "at the door" and instead lead towards the greater purpose. Compassion builds trust and security that our brains need to perform. It gives us and our colleagues a sense of having each other's backs. If we practice these qualities we will become better at them. Our brains are plastic and we become good at what we often do, just like in sports training. These three qualities build cultures that evolve around people rather than profits. Still, profits are crucial for businesses to survive and prosper. So will mindfulness, selflessness and compassion really drive results? According to Rasmus Hougaard the answer is yes and to prove it he tells the story about Marriott Hotel. When other businesses laid off employees during the great depression of the 1920's, Marriott chose to do the opposite instead and take extra good care of their workforce. Their philosophy was, and is, that "if we take care of our associates, they will take care of our guest, and our guests will come back". This was the right decision in the long term and today Marriott is one of the world's largest hotel chains. Mindfulness equips us for the attention economy We live in an attention economy today, where distractions are constantly threatening to steal our focus. Rasmus Hougaard describes how we experience the concept PAID: pressure, always on, information overload and distractions. Mindfulness is a way to handle this challenge and to master our own focus. Read more about Rasmus Hougaard, his book and the organization Potential Project here.

Rasmus Hougaard, Founder of the Potential Project, was the keynote speaker at the IMI Membership Launch Day. Talking about how mindfulness techniques can create a better leader and deliver greater productivity across the board, Rasmus is one of the world's leading minds behind the 'soft' skills a leader needs to succeed.

Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter, of the global consulting firm Potential Project, make their case for mindfulness, selflessness, and compassion in leadership. Their survey of 30,000 leaders showed those characteristics are foundational — and often missing from leadership development programs. Practicing self-awareness, they say, leads to more focused and more people-focused organizations. They’re the authors of the new book, “The Mind of the Leader: How to Lead Yourself, Your People, and Your Organization for Extraordinary Results."

With billions of dollars spent on leadership development and training, why do employees still find their leaders so un-inspiring?   Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter – authors of “The Mind of the Leader” interviewed over 35,000 leaders and determined that by understanding how our own minds work, only then can we really be better at[...]

Ann-Sofie och Boel fångar upp nyheter, rapporter och trender om hälsa på jobbet.  #MeToo-kampanjen har knappast undgått någon. Rapporter och upprop om sexuella trakasserier kommer dagligen just nu i bransch efter bransch och skakar om hela samhället. Arbetet  mot sexuella trakasserier - ta hjälp av lagen! Ur ett arbetsplatsperspektiv är det arbetsgivarens ansvar att se till att förebygga att kränkande särbehandling sker och ha tydliga rutiner för vad man ska göra om det uppstår. Vi vill lyfta fram hur viktigt det är att arbetet mot trakasserier och övergrepp inte bara är en policy i text utan något som faktiskt aktivt diskuteras på jobbet med ett tydligt stöd från ledningen. Läs mer om OSA 2015:4 här. Nudging - knuffa inte styra mot hälsa I år tilldelas Nobelpriset i ekonomisk vetenskap Richard Thaler. Han får priset för sitt bidrag till beteendeekonomi. Han har tidigare varit rådgivare i den engelska premiärministern David Camerons så kallade nudge-unit. Nudging kan översättas till att knuffa och handlar om att stötta människor till önskade beteendeförändringar utan lagar och regler. Vi är generellt motvilliga till att bryta invanda beteenden och behöver göra trösklarna låga. Där kommer nudging in. I avsnittet ger vi exempel på hur man kan puffa medarbetare mot goda vanor på arbetsplatsen. Jobbhälsobarometern - ohälsan fortsätter öka Under hösten släppte Sveriges Företagshälsor en ny rapport om hälsoläget på arbetsplatser i Sverige. Sammanfattningsvis kan man säga att ohälsan på arbetet fortsätter öka och yngre mår sämre än äldre, kvinnor mår sämre än män, det är ingen skillnad i hälsa mellan chefer och medarbetare. Hela rapporten kan du läsa här. Digitalt stöd för hållbara vanor Det finns många appar som mäter hur många steg vi tar per dag och vår fysiska status som blodtryck och puls. Men det finns också appar för den inre hälsan som ska hjälpa oss med reflektion och att skapa tid för det vi egentligen tycker är viktigast i livet. Boel tipsar om Shim. Annie tipsar om Remente. Ledarskap - mindfulness räcker inte Ann-Sofie var tidigare i november på ett seminarie anordnat av Potential Project där Rasmus Hougaard berättade om hur ett framgångsrikt ledarskap behöver präglas av närvaro men även osjälviskhet och medkänsla. Mer om boken och allt arbete bakom kan du läsa här. Ann-Sofie nämner också siffran som dyker upp överallt, om medarbetares engagemang. I State of the Global workplace för 2017 står det att endast 10% av medarbetare i västra Europa är engagerade på jobbet. Finns att göra! Nordic Health Convention Ann-Sofie berättar om sitt besök- och deltagande på Nordic Health Convention, en del av Kvalitetsmässan. Där diskuterades både hälsoläget för barn, på arbetsplatsen och för äldre och det är tydligt att barns hälsa är sämre i socioekonomiskt utsatta områden. I podden tipsar vi också om Ingibjörg Jonsdotter och hennes forskning. Hon finns på Göteborgs Universitet. Nordic Health Convention fortsätter till våren. Vår partner Twitch Healths vd Fredrik Karlsson har skrivit ett inlägg med trendspaning på vårt område. Bland annat om vad employee experience handlar om, vad en kidnappad hjärna är och hur anställdas hälsa är en värdering högt på medarbetares önskelista. Läs mer här! Vår partner Skandia har alltid hälsan i fokus och arbetar just nu med att sprida information om de så viktiga varningssignaler man bör ta akt på för att undvika utmattning. En orsak till ohälsa kan vara att aldrig ge hjärnan tillräcklig återhämtning och det skriver Anders Hansen om i en artikel på Skandias hemsida här. Deras hälsoförsäkring stöttar arbetsplatser i det arbetet.

Työuupumus on vakava ongelma. Miten päästä eroon työuupumuksesta? Asiaa on pohtinut kuntoutuspsykologi Heli Nurmi Härmän kuntokeskuksesta. Hän kehitti mallin, miten ihminen voi edistää toipumistaan. Keskiössä ovat ajatukset, tunteet ja toimintamallit, jotka ylläpitävät tilannetta. Malli pohjautuu kognitiiviseen psykoterapiaan. Tanskalainen tutkija Rasmus Hougaard aloitti 25 vuotta sitten mindfulnessin harjoittelun. Hän löysi selkeän suunnan elämälleen, ja on halunnut viedä ajatusta yrityksiin. Mitä ovat tietoisuustaitoharjoittelun hyödyt työelämässä? Entä mikä on seuraava iso suuntaus työelämän kehittämisessä? Tutkimusprofessori Jari Hakanen Työterveyslaitokselta on tehnyt lukuisia tutkimuksia työn imusta tutkimuksia. Mitä tarkoittaa työn imu ja miten siitä työntekijä ja työnantaja hyötyvät? Entä työn tuunaaminen, mitä voi tehdä työnsä eteen muutosten, yt-neuvotteluiden ja kiireen maailmassa? Jari Hakasella on tästä tutkimusnäyttöä Innostuksen spiraali -hankkeesta. Nyt työn alla tutkimus 40 kunnassa, mukana 108 000 kuntien työntekijää. Tarkoituksena on selvittää positiivisen työelämätutkimuksen keinoin, miten ihminen toimii kuormittuneissa muuttuvissa olosuhteissa, miten parantaa työntekijöiden vuorovaikutusta ja johtamista. Toimittaja on Teija Peltoniemi.
