No FT de ontem o artigo "Is the secret to employee happiness not working?" é muito interessante e vai ao arrepio do mainstream:
"Such perks [Moi ici: Dias de folga extra] are in recognition of the growing concern about wellbeing. A report this year by the American Psychological Association found 77 per cent of workers experienced workrelated stress in the previous month, while 57 per cent indicated signs of workplace burnout, such as emotional exhaustion.
...
Research in the Journal of Advanced Nursing found that people taking "mental health days" were more likely to report problems at work, as well as mental health issues. The authors concluded that wellbeing days were only dealing with the symptoms of overwork, and that other, earlier interventions might have been more effective in preventing problems in the first place.
Moss says: "If we aren't tackling the root causes of burnout and the chronic stressors at work - mental health days become a band-aid solution."
Julgo que já tive esta conversa com o parceiro das conversas oxigenadoras, usam-se aspirinas para lidar com os sintomas e não se vai às causas-raiz.
Pensando bem, é um bocado absurdo, o segredo para o bem estar no local de trabalho é ... não trabalhar.
Como aprendi na semana passada: No Ocidente acredita-se cada vez mais naquilo que soa bem e parece bem, do que no que naquilo que funciona e resulta.
