The opening keynote of the 2016 World EAP Conference will feature the moving story of Lyndon Fitzgerald Harris, the priest-in-charge of Saint Paul's Chapel, located directly across from the World Trade Center in New York City.

Incivility — defined as unsociable or rude behavior — in an often politically charged workplace can spread like a virus from one employee to another, according to a new study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. Researchers say workplace unkindness can leave employees feeling psychologically fatigued, and that exhaustion can cause them to mistreat other workers. This cycle can lead to a workplace that some may consider emotionally abusive.

The workplace is the most important environment to discuss mental health and illness, yet it is the last place we expect to hear about it.
Employees are afraid of discussing it with co-workers and bosses. They don't want to lose their jobs, damage relationships or risk future employers learning of illnesses and judging them. The stigma of mental illness keeps them silent.
Employers have the opportunity to change this climate of fear regarding mental health at the workplace. They rarely do, though. Roughly 85 percent of employee's mental health conditions are undiagnosed or untreated.

The worse your first seven jobs are, the poorer your health may be decades down the road, suggests new preliminary research presented recently in Seattle at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.
The researchers pored through data taken from a long-running survey that first polled over 10,000 young men and women aged 14 to 22 in 1979 and interviewed them again every year until 1994. Alongside taking measurements of their mental and physical health, the survey also asked participants to rate how satisfied they were with their jobs on a scale of one to five. Looking in on the participants as they approached their mid-twenties, the researchers saw that those who reported feeling consistently dissatisfied with their jobs early on in their career were more likely to feel depressed, anxious, and have trouble sleeping by the time they turned 40 than those who were consistently happy with their jobs.

American companies often struggle to get their employees fired up about wellness programs at work. Their engagement "incentive" often consists of giving participants a coffee mug and then listing their names in a quarterly newsletter.
Really? Really?
Managers want all the benefits of wellness programs — lower healthcare costs, higher productivity, improved recruiting — but too often they motivate employees with nothing more than a tote bag that's probably left over from some trade show two years ago.
