Looking for something good to read this Sunday? 👀 Why not enjoy Andrew Mears's feature in Global Business Reports (GBR) latest report, discussing talent attraction and retention for #CDMOs? 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 Speaking on the talent shortage, Andrew said: "There is a move away from predominantly looking at a candidate's academic background, and the more forward-thinking organizations are not only focusing on technical capability and experience but also the cultural fit and values alignment to the business." He also warned that businesses may need to adapt and look for talent across other sectors: "We are seeing an oxymoron where the industry is at the cutting edge of science and innovation, but also extremely risk-averse and slow to adopt modern trends... Life sciences are competing with these forward-looking sectors and need to be prepared to take risks and adapt to the changing working landscape." ➡️ You can find the full report looking at the pain points and opportunities for the #CDMO sector here: https://lnkd.in/eN_R3Jsy #LifeSciences

Poor mental health costs UK employers £51 billion per year in associated employee costs such as absenteeism, presenteeism & lower productivity (Deliotte, 2024). Sarah Clarke CDir Fellow ABP joined Institute of Directors (IoD) to present the first Inclusive Business webinar highlighting how organisational culture can improve employee mental health for all employees. If you would like to know how psychologically safe your organisation is - or benchmark your culture against other businesses please reach out to us.

One of the things that struck us right away with Wondersource’s MIND series was the extent to which employees feel unsupported and unresourced to manage stress and perform at their best 🤯 Here are just some of the types of questions we get in our six session virtual clinical psychologist led MIND series: - How do you manage stress and criticism in the workplace? - How can I manage the pressure I put on myself to perform? - How can I be less dependant on positive reinforcement? - What are some ways of dealing with imposter syndrome so that we can show up for ourselves/ our team during moments of high stress and anxiety. - How can I deal with my anger issues at work? - If you are in a management or leadership position, how transparent can or should you be about personal issues? These questions are common and if you have some too you’re far from alone ❤️‍🩹 What would help you feel more supported at work? 😊 Ps. At Wondersource we recognise how complex mental and physical health, prevention, and creating meaningful success can be and we don’t claim to make all employees healthy or fix deep rooted organizational problems, certainly not overnight. What we do have is the best, most comprehensive well-being and success solution that I personally have come across for companies. We resource employees of all levels with the tools and knowledge and coaching to resource themselves as best as they can. We empower them to make simple shifts, to treat themselves with compassion and less judgement. Whether you are a CEO of a bank, a hedge fund manager, a tenured professor, or a junior sales professional, we are all the same in some respects. We all hold genius-level talent within, and with the right support we can all unleash it. We aren’t all given the same opportunities in life, but there is a lot we can do, if we’re given the opportunity and resources 🤗 Work with Wondersource and let your team know how amazing and worthy they are. Leave us a message here if you want to learn more about how our signature online Mind, Body, Work program can help your team thrive 🚀 #workplacestressmanagement #mentalfitnessatwork #workplacementalhealth

But the data speaks for itself: workplace stress is shortening our lifespan. We have confused high-performance with high-pressure for too long and stressful work environments are impacting our health. Leaders are recognising the importance of comprehensive stress prevention strategies and it's clear that employers play a crucial role in shaping their employees' health.

An article we could have written ourselves if Fast Company hadn’t written it for us. All about why HR are so important to telling the employer story and why they, alongside marketing, create what candidates and employees experience as a 'great place to work'. As they say, brands are built from the inside - and this quote sums up why this matters… “The way your employees feel is the way your customers will feel. And if your employees don’t feel valued, neither will your customers.” We’ve often said HR need to think like marketers. And their ‘customers’ are existing and future employees. https://lnkd.in/eyCeRa5s #employerbrand #HRmarketing #recruitmentmarketing
