There are pros and cons with both, and despite the costs, there are times when investing in an external professional conference facilitator or moderator can be worthwhile.
If you often find that your meetings or conferences don’t end up achieving their purpose, intended goals or expectations you may be interested in how a facilitator could help.
In most meetings, at least one person thinks out loud. And invariably, there are much quieter, more reflective people who have great insights but don’t speak up. This imbalance is the reason so many meetings fail to achieve their potential.
There is no denying that having a good night’s sleep helps to benefit all aspects of your life, from your physical and mental health, relationships with your family and your productivity levels. The same can be said about your work productivity because you will be alert and able to complete tasks better. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, just 13 minutes of extra sleep per night can increase productivity by 2.3%.
If you own a company, it’s important that you decide to incorporate team days throughout the year. As well as the fun this will bring to the team, it will lead to increased communication, planning skills, employee motivation and collaboration. This helps employees to see each other in a different light, other than the standard office routine where they are used to.
This all ties into effective team building, which works in with both work and colleague relationships.
If you own a business, one of the most important aspects is to check in on your team’s well-being. This allows for a transparent relationship in the workplace, as well as setting a clear example for new starters so they know that they can talk to their peers about any concerns they might have. According to the Mental Health Foundation, 1 in 6.8 people experience mental health problems in the workplace, which is 14.7%. This shows the value of ensuring there is a transparent relationship with the well-being of a team.
As well as increasing team morale, this will lead to team members staying in the company for longer, due to a healthy team culture.
Winter brings with it many challenges for those confined to an office job. Shorter days, colder temperatures and less time spent outdoors can significantly impact mental well-being. For many office workers, the winter season can exacerbate feelings of isolation and burnout. However, with intentional planning and a few creative strategies, you can find ways to make the most of the limited outdoor opportunities winter has to offer.

A lack of sleep can have a negative effect on productivity. Sleep loss can make it harder to maintain focus at work, attention, and vigilance. The body will be using more energy to stay awake, having a bad effect on productivity in the workplace. Not to mention the decreased level of communication with colleagues also, which can lead to poor work outcomes. Sleep deprivation is something many people suffer with 1 in 3 adults in the United States struggling to sleep according to the National Institutes of Health.
If you need help improving your sleep, consider some sleep coaching to help you sleep better.
