Top 4 Workplace Fears Holding us Back

#DarrKeAageJeetHai

FEAR is an emotion that affects every human being on this planet. In fact, it is one emotion that treats us equally regardless of our race, ethnicity, nationality or class. Yes, the intensity differs from person to person but the impact remains the same.

FEAR literally makes it difficult to get through your day. Here are some facts about FEAR (including Stress induced fear)and how it impacts people and organizations globally!

1. According to a study by Glassdoor, the fear of falling behind is the number one reason people aren’t using their vacation time. (Glassdoor, 2018)
2. More than half of the Indian workforce felt lonely at some point during the uncertainty, financial instability, and fear of the unknown. (Business Insider, 2020)
3. 41 percent of Indians said that the lack of separation between their work and personal life negatively impacted their wellbeing and induced stress levels. (Microsoft Survey, 2020)
4. 40% of employees experience persistent stress or excessive anxiety in their daily lives. Only 9% have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. (ADAA, 2020)

At SAMAKSH, we have identified these TOP 4 Workplace Fears that may be holding us back from success:

1. Fear of Failure
2. Fear of Authority figures
3. Fear to Express Self & New Ideas
4. Fear of Being Yelled At

As leaders, we need to understand that merely controlling these fears will not take us anywhere or signing up for a Meditation App won’t help us solve the problem in the long run. We need to help our people decode these fears and set them free from their past baggage.

I intend to talk about each of these Fears in greater detail through a series of articles.

The next wave of Workplace Wellness will focus on making people Conscious, Authentic and Purposeful.
