The role of mindfulness in enhancing workplace creativity: A cultural perspective

Practices, such as meditation and mindful breathing, help individuals regulate their attention and emotions. This regulation leads to a balanced mental state, allowing for greater cognitive flexibility and creative problem-solving. Cognitive psychology suggests that a calm and focused mind is better equipped to generate innovative ideas. Chronic stress impedes creative thinking by limiting cognitive resources. Mindfulness reduces stress by promoting relaxation and fostering a positive mental state has shown that lower stress levels correlate with higher creative output, as individuals are more open to exploring new ideas and taking risks. Enhancing interpersonal relationships Mindfulness enhances empathy and communication skills, which are crucial for effective teamwork. A theory that puts this into practice and provided evidence-based research is the social exchange theory, positive interactions between colleagues builds trust and cooperation, creating an environment where creative ideas can flourish. By fostering better relationships, mindfulness contributes to a supportive and collaborative workplace culture. A mindful workplace culture encourages openness and reduces fear of judgment, which are essential for creativity. Organisational behaviour theories highlight the importance of a positive organisational culture in promoting innovation. When employees feel safe to express their ideas without fear of criticism, they are more likely to think outside the box and contribute creative solutions. Inclusivity and diversity Mindfulness practices can also promote inclusivity and respect for diversity, further enhancing creativity. By encouraging non-judgmental awareness and acceptance, mindfulness helps create a culture where diverse perspectives are valued. This inclusivity leads to a richer pool of ideas and innovative solutions. Mindfulness training programs Many organisations have successfully implemented mindfulness training programs to enhance employee wellbeing and creativity. These programs typically include guided meditation sessions, mindfulness workshops, and ongoing practice support. Case studies from various industries demonstrate the positive impact of such programs on both individual and organisational performance. Beyond training programs, integrating mindfulness into the organisational culture is crucial. This can be achieved through leadership commitment, regular mindfulness practices, and creating spaces for reflection and meditation. By embedding mindfulness into the company’s values and practices, organisations organisations can sustain a culture that supports creativity. Measurement and evaluation To assess the effectiveness of mindfulness initiatives, organisations can employ both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Surveys, interviews, and creativity assessments can provide valuable insights into how mindfulness practices influence employee creativity. Social sciences methodologies, such as thematic analysis and statistical modelling, are useful tools for evaluating these outcomes. New areas of study The intersection of mindfulness and workplace creativity presents numerous opportunities for further research. Future studies could explore the long-term effects of mindfulness on creativity, the role of individual differences, and the impact of organisational context. Interdisciplinary research, combining insights from psychology, sociology, and organisational behaviour, can provide a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena. Practical benefits Understanding the social sciences perspective on mindfulness and creativity offers practical benefits for businesses and employees. Organisations can leverage this knowledge to design effective wellbeing programs and foster a mindful and creative workplace that not only enhance employee satisfaction but also drive innovation.  This article was written by the Institute's DCU Intern, Jennifer Lukikeba, on behalf of Thrive. Jennifer is currently studying Social Science and Cultural Innovation in DCU, entering into her final year this September. In partnership with DCU's Access to the Workplace programme, the Institute hosted Jennifer as part of its professional summer internship placements.  For more advice or information, contact the team by email at: thrive@charteredaccountants.ie  or by phone: (+353) 86 0243294.

Investing in financial wellbeing

When we think of wellbeing, we usually think physically and mentally but there is another important aspect to add to the mix, financial wellbeing. Financial wellbeing is a term used to describe our ability to confidently manage our money, how prepared we are for the unexpected, and how we can save and plan for the future. It is an aspect of wellbeing that is often overlooked, but financial wellness can dramatically impact our quality of life. Financial difficulties can impact anyone including accountants. Here we look at financial wellbeing, its impacts on our mental health, and how we can improve our financial wellbeing. Financial Wellbeing and Mental Health With the current economic factors at play, financial worries are a main concern for the vast majority of the population and financial worries can have a major impact on our mental health. While it is true money can’t buy happiness, multiple studies around the world show that finances are one of the most common causes of stress and anxiety, which can impact our health, work, relationships, and many other aspects of our life. According to research conducted by PWC in 2023, almost half of Irish consumers are concerned about their personal financial situation. A national survey carried out by Aware found that financial worries were the number one cause of concern with 57% stating it was impacting their mental health. Laya healthcare’s workplace wellbeing index found that of the one in four people who reported poor mental health, two-thirds cited financial concerns as the cause, more than any other problem. These few figures highlight just how prevalent financial concerns are and how much of a toll they can take on our mental health. Feeling anxious, experiencing low mood, or losing sleep if you are struggling to control your finances is a totally normal response but in the long term can have a devastating impact on our lives, even fuelling and escalating our financial trouble.    How to invest in your financial wellbeing If you want to ease money worries or simply want to feel more in control of your finances, there are thankfully many simple and easy ways to do just that. Spending sprees The first step is to look at your current spending habits and identify just where your money is going. By reviewing your bank and credit card statements, you can tally your outgoings and expenses. Categorise the type of spend into different groups, this can help you identify areas where you may be overspending and where you can make changes. We can all overspend sometimes or have weeks that are more expensive, but when it becomes a habit, it can be hard to break.  By tracking your expenses, you can get a better overall picture of your spending habits and triggers. Money aspirations Write down your financial goals and consider what you want to achieve in the short and long term, this could be clearing off a credit card, buying a house or building a rainy-day fund. Having financial goals give you a clear objective to work towards and can help keep you motivated to save and stay on track. Budget   Creating a monthly budget is a surefire way of getting control of your finances. Figure out the amount that goes on your essentials expenses and then budget for the week and month ahead. For help with this, there is a wealth of free online budgeting tools and templates at your disposal. In debt to you Once your budget is going to plan, if you have accrued any debt now is the time to begin clearing it. Sort your debt from the highest interest rate to the lowest interest rate and use any extra cash to begin clearing off these debts, starting with the higher interest rate and continue moving your way down the rates.   Saving grace It can feel like any money you earn is eaten up by expenses and there is simply no money left for saving. Even when money is tight, it is important to begin setting money aside for the future. If you don’t already, set up a savings account and transfer any remaining money over at the end of the month. Even if it is just small change. Or another approach, termed ‘paying yourself first’ is set up an automatic transfer of money into your savings account as soon as you get paid.   Seek advice If financial troubles persist despite your best efforts, you may consider seeking external financial advice. A financial advisor can view all aspects of your financial wellbeing with you and identify areas and aspects where you can make changes. Supports available to you A common preconceive notion is that financial professionals should be in good financial health due to their professional background. However, like anyone in society, accountants from all walks of life can struggle with poor financial wellbeing for a multitude of reasons. From the work of CA Support, we see the causes and impact financial difficulties have on chartered accountants. Perhaps a period of illness, unemployment or upheaval has created a financial burden and we know financial problems can often deteriorate quickly. If you are struggling with financial difficulties, CA Support provides emergency assistance to Institute members, students and families experiencing turmoil. Or if you are in a healthier position, you may consider donating to CA Support to help support members and families in our community who are less fortunate. Improving your financial wellbeing can take time and effort but by building small and healthy habits, you can alleviate money-related stress and anxiety. However, if you are struggling with any emotional toll, the Thrive wellbeing team is also here to help.

Parenting teenagers and keeping it together at work

"I look back on her teenage years as being the loveliest stage of her childhood" said no parent, ever. Living with teenagers can be stressful, exhausting, sometimes fulfilling and certainly unpredictable. Here’s some thoughts on how to help your child transition to a happy and healthy young adult, whilst keeping your own professional and personal life on track. Remember you are the expert on what’s right for you and your family, these are only ideas. Be a role model for a happy, healthy and meaningful life Teenagers don’t appear to listen to what we say, but they certainly copy what we do. Pay attention to your own diet, exercise, sleeping habits, alcohol consumption, over-work and other life style choices. That includes letting them observe you having fun and making time for things you enjoy, as well as working and being a parent. It’s not selfish to have outside interests and let your children see that life is for living. Don’t pretend to be a clean-living paragon when you are not. It’s much better for them to see you balance a few days of healthier living to make up for a period of excess, whether through work or play. That’s real life. Turn off the digital devices Teenagers are notoriously critical of their parents so don’t make it easy for them to call you out on double-standards. You can’t expect them to make conversation with you if you are checking your own emails at the dinner table. Try to make some family rules about screen time and stick to them Talk, don’t bottle up your emotions It’s normal to feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired from time to time. It’s also normal to feel frustrated or angry with your teenager sometimes too. Reach out to people who will support you. At work, advice and feedback is usually helpful. In our personal lives, you don’t necessarily need advice, just someone to listen to you non-judgementally. It’s ok for your teenagers to see that you can feel vulnerable or overwhelmed from time to time. They will learn how to deal with stressful situations from observing how you cope. Avoid comparisons Other people’s children may appear to be coping much better than yours, and other parents appear to be managing their life and career better also. That may be true, or it may not be. Surround yourself with a supportive network and don’t judge your own family life or other people. Life is a marathon not a sprint. If your children are facing difficulties now, then they will learn from their mistakes and build resilience. Don’t beat yourself or them up for not being perfect. You may even have to relax your high standards – maybe one relaxed, home-cooked meal with all the family round the table each week is enough to aim for? Create an easy space to talk As teens become increasingly independent they often spend more time with their friends than their family. This can feel like a rejection. Try and keep the lines of communication open. It is essential to invest your energy in maintaining a good relationship, even when they have trouble communicating. Talk to them about what you are up to, and perhaps they’ll reciprocate. Find the best time to get them to open up. Many parents say that their teens talk to them when they are taxi-ing them around. If your children are more relaxed in the early evening, then grab a cup of tea and chat to them when you get home, rather than rushing to do chores or doing work. Ditch the guilt Some days you simply have to put your professional life first to cope with the demands facing you. That’s modern life and that’s how you pay the bills. Don’t beat yourself up about it. They’ll respect you for your achievements, even if they don’t show it right now. No one says it is easy to balance work and family life. Smaller children are tiring but they are easier to control than stroppy teenagers. It’s hard for many of us to let go, particularly when we are usually in the driving seat in our personal and professional lives. Pick your battles carefully. Like all childhood phases, this won’t last for ever. Thrive is the Institute's dedicated wellbeing hub that offers emotional support and advice. Looking for more parenting advice, check out our “Back to School”- Managing the Year Ahead webinar. Written by: Zena Everett, Executive Coach.

The role of diversity and inclusion in the workplace

Here, Dee France, Member & Student Support and Well-being Lead at Chartered Accountants Ireland, explores what diversity and inclusion means in the workplace, the important role it plays for employee well-being, and why employers should foster a culture of belonging and inclusion. Diversity and inclusion (D&I) has become a driving force in the changing organisational landscape. Companies and business leaders are placing greater emphasis on their approach to D&I and are embracing policies and strategies to create a more diverse, fairer, and resilient workforce.  Employee well-being and D&I are closely connected. In fact, employee well-being awareness can be seen as an intrinsic element of a company’s effective D&I strategies and policies.  An essential and significant feature of good overall well-being is our feeling of purpose and belonging. Programmes and initiatives that promote inclusion, diversity, and belonging can support and cultivate positive employee well-being. In its entirety, D&I in the workplace can have an impact on our overall happiness at work.  Emotional tax Employees from diverse backgrounds who experience a non-inclusive workforce can face an additional burden of an ‘emotional tax’ – the experience of being treated differently from peers due to race/ethnicity or gender, triggering adverse effects on health and feelings of isolation and making it difficult to thrive at work. This emotional tax can have an extremely negative impact on employees’ mental health and wellbeing. Feeling undervalued, overlooked, or excluded due to your identity can heighten a person’s vigilance to protect themselves from acts of bias or prejudice. Thrive, Chartered Accountants Ireland’s dedicated well-being hub, continues to receive regular calls from our members and students who seek support from the damaging impact a non-inclusive workplace can have on their wellbeing.   Managing diversity and inclusion  Implementing effective and successful D&I strategies and policies can take time, but a coherent and structured approach to these ensure that work practices and values support an inclusive culture that embraces different people, views, and perspectives. Producing a D&I policy allows a company to go above and beyond legal obligations and set a standard of expectation for the organisation and for its employees.  There are several ways companies can begin to incorporate inclusivity into the workplace.  Leadership and employee training  Providing training for leadership, management and employees increases awareness, aids the understanding and engagement in the company’s values and policies, helps embed these initiatives into the culture of the workplace, and allows for the development of empathy for others.  Employee network groups  Building an employee network group is an effective way to allow people to connect with others from different groups, and raise a sense of belonging, affinity, and kinship.  For example, the Institute has several different committee groups such as Balance, our LGBTQ+ committee, Student Committee, and D&I committee.  Open communication and feedback  Developing open and clear communication channels that are easily accessible to employees breeds better dialogue. It ensures employees and managers alike feel safe in airing grievances, giving feedback, and the feeling of being heard and valued.  Employee surveys on D&I initiatives allow companies to take onboard employees’ experiences and action feedback. It permits companies to assess if policies and strategies are working and evaluate and benchmark their efforts from year-to-year.  The Thrive Wellbeing Hub provides counselling, wellness coaching, practical advice and more to all members of the Institute.

Hit the books, then hit pause: the power of study breaks

In the pursuit of academic excellence, students often overlook the power of breaks. Discover why strategic pauses are crucial for learning retention, focus, and overall well-being during intense study sessions. Students often believe that the key to academic or exam success lies in pushing themselves to the limits to study for hours on end without taking a moment to rest. However, when students deprive themselves of breaks, they are less productive, retain less information and in turn risk burning out. Taking breaks while studying is not only beneficial but essential for deep learning and performance. Breaks are important for maintaining our cognitive capability and our overall mental health and well-being. In addition, breaks fuel our productivity. Cal Newport in his book Deep Work describes deep work as “activities performed in a state of distraction free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limits”. When a student engages in deep work, or productive deep study, they need to also take productive deep breaks. The benefits of breaks Taking breaks while studying are important for the following reasons: Enhances focus and concentration Our brains cannot maintain focus and concentration for extended periods. Taking short breaks during study sessions allows our brains to recharge, making it easier to maintain focus, concentrate and absorb information effectively. Much like our phones, our brains also need to be re-charged. Improves learning retention Taking breaks between study sessions can improve our ability to retain information. Breaks give your brain the opportunity to process and consolidate new information, making it easier to recall later. For this reason, I always recommend taking a walk where possible after a study session. This will help you retain the information you just studied and learned. Maintains overall health and well-being Extended periods of intense studying can lead to burnout, fatigue and increased stress levels, ultimately undermining your academic or exam performance and health. By incorporating regular breaks into your study routine, you can keep burnout at bay and reduce your stress levels. Promotes sustainable study habits Taking breaks while studying encourages sustainable study habits that can be maintained over an extended period. By taking regular deep productive breaks, you can pace yourself more effectively and avoid the cycle of procrastination followed by cramming which inevitably leads to stress and overwhelm. What does a productive deep break look like? There is no specific rule of thumb when the optimal time is for a student to take a break while studying. We are all individual and we all have our own specific needs. If you are engaging in productive study, then you could take a 10-minute break after 50 minutes study or a five-minute break after 25 minutes study. When taking a break, you should not turn your attention to email, social media or distracting websites. The purpose of the productive deep break is to recharge your brain. By scrolling on your phone, you are not giving your brain the rest and recovery it needs and deserves. In fact, you are stimulating it, which is not what we want from a productive deep break. Try not to turn your attention to a complicated or stressful task. A short walk is a fantastic way to clear your head. It will help consolidate what you have just learned. If going for a walk is not available to you, getting out in the fresh air for 10 minutes is another great way for your brain to rest and recover. Sometimes a productive deep break can be as simple as sitting in silence with a cup of tea or coffee. Alternatively, you can listen to music or a podcast. Another example of a productive deep break is to do a five-minute meditation or five minutes of breathwork. As you are likely to have been sitting at a desk for a period of time, five minutes of stretching, yoga or physical exercise is great to boost your energy levels. Taking breaks should form part of your study routine. By prioritising rest and relaxation, you can cultivate healthier study habits, enhance your learning and ultimately achieve greater academic and exam success. Productive deep breaks ensure that you return to your study motivated with renewed concentration and a refreshed mind, ready to tackle complex problems and absorb information more efficiently. So, when you find yourself buried in books or glued to your computer screen, remember to allow yourself the time to rest, recharge and rejuvenate. Breaks fuel productivity.

Practicing the art of self-compassion

Swapping self-criticism for self-compassion can help us to become more resilient, overcome difficult situations and boost our mental health. Dee France, Thrive’s Wellbeing Lead, explains why. “You are your own worst critic” is a popular phrase for a reason and will resonate with many of us. Our inner critic can be very harsh, and while we shouldn’t outright ignore it, we also shouldn’t give it more attention than it deserves. In fact, it could be argued that a healthy dose of self-doubt and criticism is necessary as it allows us to monitor our behaviour and check ourselves. However, overwhelming negative self-talk and being too critical of oneself can be damaging and detrimental to how we live our daily lives, not to mention the devastating impact it can have on our mental health. This is where a level of self-compassion is needed. Humans are collectively compassionate beings, showing a great deal of understanding and kindness to others, but we aren’t always great at being kind to ourselves. Where self-criticism asks, “am I good enough?” self-compassion asks, “what’s good for me?” Instead of dwelling on mistakes, past failures and judging and criticising yourself for various imperfections or shortcomings, self-compassion means you are understanding and supportive of yourself. How do we develop self-compassion? Like any skill, developing a sense of self-compassion requires time, practice and patience. As a leading researcher in self-compassion, Doctor Kristin Neff theorises that there are three core fundamentals to self-compassion. Mindful awareness This involves being aware of your thoughts and emotions and taking a balanced and mindful approach to both, neither suppressing nor exaggerating, but simply acknowledging your feelings without judgment. Self-kindness This involves caring for yourself the way you would a friend or family member going through a difficult time. When we are faced with challenging situations or have feelings of inadequacy, rather than beating ourselves up, we are instead supportive and encouraging of ourselves. Self-kindness gives us the security and perspective to put ourselves in a better frame of mind to cope with any challenges we may experience. Common humanity Self-compassion is rooted in common humanity. When we make a mistake, it is common to think we are the only person in the world who is flawed. Common humanity is recognising that everyone is flawed, vulnerable and imperfect. It is important to acknowledge that we all make mistakes and have our own insecurities. Nobody is perfect and this is something that connects, rather than separates, us. Self-compassion and wellbeing Self-compassion can be thought of as being self-indulgent or feeling sorry for ourselves, but developing the ability to cope and manage our difficulties is good for our emotional wellbeing. Research studies show that those who are more self-compassionate benefit from better mental and physical health. Further, people with higher levels of self-compassion tend to be more resilient, have a less physical response to stressors and spend less time dwelling on situations after they have happened. Self-compassion involves recognising strengths and achievements, which, in turn, boosts our self-confidence and self-belief. A study by the Universities of Exeter and Oxford found that self-compassion can immediately calm your heart rate and lessen stress responses. Study participants also demonstrated a general state of relaxation and security and reported a stronger sense of connection to other people. Exercising self-compassion makes you more likely to: engage in healthy behaviours such as exercise, eating better and better sleeping patterns; be less fearful of making mistakes, rejection or change; display higher levels of emotional intelligence, happiness and optimism; handle and cope with adversity and difficulties better; and demonstrate healthier boundaries in both your professional and personal life. Practising self-compassion There is a vast array of ways we can cultivate self-compassion. To get started, there are plenty of helpful resources, tools, exercises and templates available online. Below are a few ways you can start showing yourself a little more kindness and understanding: Practice mindfulness and self-reflection: learn to observe and evaluate your thoughts; activities such as journalling and meditation can aid this. This encourages you to be curious and self-aware, understanding that your thoughts and assumptions are just that – they are not facts. Reward and celebrate: celebrate your successes and achievements. Practice gratitude and celebrate moments of positivity and kindness. Keep a list of personal strengths to review in moments of self-doubt. Take a break: time away from your day-to-day routine and a change of scenery can help you keep things in perspective. Strengthen your connections: kindness is contagious! Showing love and understanding to the people around you means you are more likely to show yourself the same compassion. Do things you enjoy: spending time on our passions, hobbies and interests is good for the soul and brings a sense of satisfaction and achievement.
