Head Strong Workplaces

🌞 Well, Spring has sprung and the sun is shining!

Nothing is better at this time of year than a bit of a makeover - shedding a few kilos and squeezing yourself into a bikini that says "hello world, here I am!". So that’s exactly what we’re doing at Head Strong*.

*Except by makeover we mean a brand refresh and by bikini we mean a Canva LinkedIn template.

With the help of Kat Potter from Little Black Kat Creative we have rejhooshed our look and feel to better align with what’s in our hearts – a commitment to creating healthier and happier workplaces while keeping it real and bringing a little bit of sunshine and laughter along the way.

Check out our new(ish) look and let us know what you think! (I mean, as long as you think it's awesome. Because it would be a total downer if you were mean about it...).

And if you want to find Kat (because she was an absolute delight to work with ☺️), you can find her website here: https://lnkd.in/g7juRAkf

A massive thank you to the CAE Defence & Security – Indo-Pacific team at Homebush for last week’s training!

The conversations were lively, the catering was fabulous, the laughter was real, the catering was amazing, and the enthusiasm was off the charts. Absolutely brilliant. The engagement from everyone made our job easy (and a lot of fun). And did I mention the catering??

Thanks again for making the training so enjoyable (and delicious). Looking forward to next time - though you may have spoiled us for all future events!

Nice article (and not too long) talking about how positive imagery might help to improve your mood and motivation, increase your sense of optimism and buffer you against stress. A simple strategy that looks like it can have some great benefits.

It’s great to see that this initiative keeps going from strength to strength

Inside Queensland's successful police unit that sees an officer and mental health nurse spend much of their shift in a gutter hearing people's life stories in times of crisis.

I'm doing a FREE course on 'Food & Mood' - how nutrition impacts on mental and brain health. It's offered by Deakin Uni and talks about some great research in this area. It's a fascinating field! (that's a photo of my 'fascinated study face', in case you're wondering.) If you are interested, you can check out the course here: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/food-and-mood

A reminder that working from home comes with negatives as well as positives. But there are things we can do (and should be doing) to keep the negatives from tipping the balance in terms of employee (ill) health.

Over the past year, 76% of employees did not receive any training to support them in the transition to remote work. Now, a year later these employees are burned-out, isolated, and looking to their employers for guidance. Here's what you can do to help.

Some really interesting data from this survey by NAB in a special Health & Wellbeing report about Australian's working from home experience. For most people, it has definitely been a positive change.
