The world is constantly changing and getting more challenging by the day. For a student to succeed and grow in such trying times, they need to learn beyond just science, commerce and humanities.
A happy person is more likely to succeed in their given future. Learning the art and science of happiness can help a student find their passion, sense their purpose, learn how to overcome the challenges of life, maintain relationships and ultimately, improve their holistic performances in education institutes and later in workspaces.
Learning about happiness has become important now more than ever. With the alarming number of mental health cases taking place in the world, the sanctity of happiness is much needed at this time of the hour. Everyone’s ultimate goal in life is to be happy.
Education institutes need to go beyond the basic academic procedures for nurturing the overall growth of students in every aspect and form to prepare them for the outside world. Having them emotionally equipped is a much-needed skill for them to thrive in everything they have a passion for and provide them with the learnings on how to be a better human beings, for themselves and others.
Each dimension is unique and intertwined with the others. Integrated wellbeing begins with the employees and, when achieved, extends throughout their learning journey at work, families and the larger community.
As a result, the ideal state of wellbeing i.e physically thriving, emotionally balanced, socially secure, intellectually sound and socially connected, places the flourishing employee at the center and is truly integrated across all five dimensions. The ideal state of employee wellbeing is in the center surrounded by Thriving, Balanced, Secure, Connected and Flourishing.
