Social Support Changes - in the work & in us May 14, 2019
Year-Long Goals • Acknowledge the reality of the current organizational health of PPS and the impact on the individual. • Create shared understanding around organizational health, resiliency and compassion fatigue. • Identify resources and strategies to support individual wellness and build organizational health. • Incorporate resources and strategies to support individual wellness and build organizational health.
Today We Will... • Apply Zone of Control Thinking • Share the ways we do and can support one another on this team • Reflect on changes in the work and in us • Reflect on how we engage in self-care
Applying Zone of Control Thinking According to research done by Stephen Covey, most of us have no control over 50% of what happens in the workplace, some influence over 35%, and a lot of control over about 15%. This means that we need to think about our circumstances and recognize where we have control and influence, and where we don’t. We do much better when we focus our efforts on positive change where we have control and influence. -- Patricia Fisher
Zone of Control 15% have control What you have control over... 50% no control & no influence 35% some influence
Strategies we use when dealing with circumstances outside of our control • We can accept it • We can change it • We can change the way that we deal with it • We can escape from it
Things you find worthwhile.... Triads: please choose a recorder, reporter, time keeper When you think about your workday, what things do you do that you enjoy or find worthwhile? • Record the answers in the left hand column • Next, ask: Where do they fit in terms of your zone of control? • Tick the appropriate column (some may be seen as falling in more than one column)
Share out Coming back together as a whole group... Share Out Novel Ideas Only
Now on your own... Step 1 When you think about your workday, what things do you find troublesome?
On your own continued... Step 2 Rank each concern you recorded on a scale from 1-5 where a 1 is relatively minor and a 5 is very troubling.
On your own continued Step 3 Choose a priority item from each of the three categories (full control, influence, no control) to reflect and journal about.
Journal Reflection Questions • For the concerns you have control over, what would be the most helpful and positive strategies you could use? • For the concerns that you have some influence over, what would be the most helpful and positive strategies you could use? • For the concerns that you have no control over, what would be the most helpful and positive strategies you could use? (Remember that these will typically fall inside either acceptance, changing the way we deal with it or escaping from it).
How do we support one another? The amount and quality of social support and companionship that a worker receives is an important predictor of health and well-being and provides a critical buffer against daily work stresses. FORMAL: INFORMAL:
Changes - in the work & in us “There have been many profound changes in the workplace and society at large over the past 25 years - these have combined to place a whole new set of pressures and stresses on individuals, families, workplace and social institutions. The change environment has also opened up any new opportunities and provided important new resources and advantages.” Patricia Fisher Building Resilient Teams
