3 areas to sustain talent
Emotionally
Sustainable Talent is emotionally healthy. Access to employee assistance programs, programs and activities for spiritual development and emphasis on healthy rela– tionships inside and outside of the marketplace enhances emotional health. Emotionally healthy leaders manage day- to-day stress better, are more able to inspire other Talent, and generally make better decisions for the organization.
Mentally
Sustainable Talent is mentally healthy. Investment in the mental health of our talent pays great dividends. Rested minds are more innovative and creative. Stephen Covey’s seventh habit of highly effective people is to “sharpen the saw.” Mentally healthy people read, study, listen and observe to refine and perfect their craft. Promoting time for rest and renewal invites the opportunity for mentally healthy talent.
Physically
Sustainable Talent is physically healthy. Wellness is a popular bene– fit in many organizations now. Fitness centers, personal training, nutrition counseling and on-site medical clinics are highly sought-after perks among job seekers. Leaders must juggle com– peting priorities, stressful schedules and endless demands. Encouraging good physical health ensures that our organizations are stacked with available and capable talent to produce healthy organizational results. Obviously, circumstances and health are different from person to person and some people have limitations. However, the idea is to provide opportunities and the environment for each person to be as healthy as possible.
