In response to the mounting challenges faced by Australian professionals in disconnecting from work-related digital devices, LinkedIn, the world’s leading professional network, and Unyoked, the pioneering nature start up, have joined forces to introduce 'The Nature of Work' guide. This collaborative initiative addresses the pervasive issue of work-life imbalance and aims to offer tangible solutions for professionals seeking respite and rejuvenation beyond traditional methods, tapping into the unique synergy between these two industry leaders.
The art of 'Treecharging' to address the unique needs of Aussie Professionals
In an era where digital devices blur the boundaries between work and personal life, LinkedIn and Unyoked introduce 'treecharge' - the power to harness nature's influence for stress relief and recharging. It transcends traditional methods, urging professionals to find solace in nature to enhance workplace productivity.
LinkedIn’s extensive understanding of the professional landscape, coupled with Unyoked's expertise in nature integration culminates in 'The Nature of Work' guide - a tailored resource designed to address the specific challenges faced by Australian professionals. This collaboration provides a practical, actionable roadmap for maintaining a healthy work-life harmony.
Cayla Dengate, LinkedIn's career expert, emphasises the potency of nature in combating burnout, "Connecting with nature is a powerful way to recalibrate and get ahead of issues such as burnout. Aussies love spending time outdoors, and it's not just a great way to unwind but can also help advance professionals’ careers by providing the mental clarity and space needed to be creative and more productive during work hours."
Cam Grant, co-founder of Unyoked, highlights the detrimental effects of an always-on working culture, "The little devices in our pockets and shift to always-on working have put many of us in situations where every moment is one in which we make our living. The problem with this is, that's not how we're wired. We perform better, think better, feel better, when we slow down, switch off from time to time, and do it out in the natural world, not sitting waiting for the next notification."
With this partnership we want to give as many professionals tangible examples and roadmaps on how they can incorporate nature into their work in order to perform in addition to improve their wellbeing, not at the expense of it."
