4Cs Blog: Happy Employees = Happy Customers

Mental health advocacy in the workplace is a growing topic among employees and employers, but getting the ball rolling where you work can be intimidating and difficult. We spend a large majority of our time at work, so it needs to be a place where we feel comfortable being honest about mental health and any other issues in our lives. Mental health days are time off of work that allows employees to take a break from the stress and responsibility of work to recharge or address anything that is affecting their mental health. Much like a sick day, it gives employees an opportunity to recharge and recover.

More and more companies are implementing mental health days and other measures to improve the workplace environment of their business. These changes benefit not only the employees, but the employer as well by improving people’s motivation and productivity. If you want to advocate for more mental health days in your workplace, here are three easy things you can do to get started.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way that many companies think about how they run their operations, especially when it comes to how and where their employees work. While it used to be traditional for people to work out of physical offices, safety precautions, including the need to socially distance, required many businesses to transition to a remote workforce. It worked so well that many companies are sticking with the idea and having more of their employees work from home.

Running a business is one of the best ways to make a living, but it’s also one of the most challenging things in the world. No matter where you live, how old you are, and what industry you’re in, being a business owner means that you’re in charge of tons of different things and that you need to solve tons of different problems every single day. That’s what makes this position so hard and if you’re one of those people who don’t perform well under risk, you might think about doing something else. But, what if you’re in charge of a family business that has been around for generations and you’re supposed to save it from a financial disaster? Well, if that’s the case, you have to look into various ideas that might help you secure your family legacy and take your company to a whole new level, and in case you’re not sure how to make that happen, here are a few ideas to consider.

 Financial stress is more common in the workplace than you might realize. According to statistics, 53% of adults are worried about their financial situation, while 78% of American adults live paycheck to paycheck. While this might appear as a personal problem for some, it can negatively impact your workforce. When employees face a challenging financial situation, they are more likely to miss work and perform poorly.

Therefore, as employers, it's crucial to focus on improving the financial education of your employees to help them gain the confidence to enhance their well-being without losing focus at work. Being financially literate can also help them better manage their finances and prevent them from ending up with financial woes. In return, you will get a higher employee loyalty and retention rate, which can be cost-effective in the long run.

However, financial literacy programs are not just about teaching your employees how to budget or save better. It's more complicated than that, especially if you want long-lasting results.

It takes plenty of time, focus, dedication, and hard work to reach success on your own. To make this process a bit simpler and increase your chances of triumph, here are some of the most essential steps you should take when becoming self-employed:
