Gratitude reduces stress and boosts happiness and self-esteem, which is really important for us as individuals, but it’s also important for gratitude to be practiced as part of a team. But do teams really practice gratitude at work?

Stress impacts us all at some point in our lives. It challenges us all in different ways, at different times and for different lengths of time. And for some reason, it largely goes unnoticed, or not taken seriously. But the reality is that by not dealing with stress effectively it can lead to numerous health problems.

So, what can we do to combat stress? Yes, we can stop encouraging a long-hours work culture, and encourage employees to take their holiday entitlement. But what about creativity? Taking time to be creative has proven to significantly improve our mental health.

Why is creativity so important in the workplace? By improving our confidence and self-esteem, reducing stress and improving social connection, you’ve got a happier, healthier and more productive team.
