It is a simple approach but with powerful and widespread benefits. I shall try to explain in a few sentences.
The principle is that a passionate interest totally remote from work pressures not only gives the worker some relief from stress but positively improves self esteem, self confidence, lateral thinking, talent and skill development and maximized development of one's potential to blossom. I have almost completed what I call a Positive Position Statement on the issue of Workers Health and Safety (the name is changed under the new legislation).
Key points are
[LIST] The mind is now the workplace - useable for work at any time and any place 24/7
[LIST] The employer has a legal responsibility to manage OHS stress risks (bearing in mind the above first point)
- WHS legislation (and the concept of compliance) is inappropriate for managing emotional stress
the way to reduce the risk is to find ways of helping people to stay mentally strong and healthy.
The concept of leisure has changed under modern day constant pressure and stress from something to do in 'free time' to it's time immemorial role of being "nature's stress manager" - energizing the mind, body and spirit to cope with stress and build resilience
It's a new concept for business to accept but my 40 years of working professionally in recreeation and leisure planning and development tells me it works - I am my own proof.
Lot's more to tell. If you can contact me privately I can arrange to give you a copy of my Position Statement and direct you to other information I have compiled.
