Wellbeing PERMA
The PERMA acronym is a model of Wellbeing theory in the field of positive psychology, by Martin Seligman. PERMA makes up five important building blocks of wellbeing and happiness:
Workplace safety is crucial for employee wellbeing. Employers must take proactive measures to prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace. This includes providing employees with the necessary safety equipment, regular safety training, and enforcing safety rules and regulations. A safe workplace not only protects employees from physical harm but also reduces stress and anxiety, which can negatively impact mental health.
Workplace health is also a critical aspect of occupational wellbeing. Employers should promote healthy habits in the workplace, such as encouraging regular physical activity, providing healthy food options, and promoting mental health resources. Employees who are healthy are more productive and have a better quality of life, both at work and at home.
In conclusion, occupational wellbeing is essential for employee health, productivity, and job satisfaction. Employers should prioritize workplace safety and health and promote healthy habits to create a supportive work environment. Employees who prioritize their wellbeing can reap numerous personal benefits, including increased productivity, reduced stress and anxiety, improved physical and mental health, and better work-life balance.
