Does your wellbeing have a place within business?
Does your background matter?
Your heritage? Your gender? Your religion?
What effect does it all have on your wellbeing within a business?
When it comes to diversity and inclusion, there are certainly imbalances, questions, and topics that can be difficult to discuss
So consider this scenario...
You are interviewing for a Personal Trainer role, which involves fitness tests. You've been informed that the candidate lost both his legs in Afganistan. What do you expect?
Do you think you could handle this situation?
Well, when it happened to me, I didn't know what to expect
Wheelchair? Prosthetics? Would he have support with him?
He actually walked in as he had prosthetic legs, but I had no idea what that meant. Or what he could or couldn't do as a result
I had never had to test or train anyone with prosthetic limbs to that point
Nor did I fully understand what limitations were still present
So, I directly asked him what he could or couldn't do
I found out then you couldn't run or flex the lower body (ankle joints particularly) unless you were wearing running blades
But it didn't stop him from taking the fitness tests
Instead of running, he did the arm bike. And instead of squats, pull-ups
Fact is, he was fitter and stronger than so many I had tested who were fully able-bodied
Why?
Not because he had to be
Because he wanted to be and made his own personal wellbeing a priority
In fact, every business comes to face situations like this
Where judgments and misconceptions can be made about someone, instead of letting them shine
It is for that reason every business needs the support of someone like Ms Cassandra Rose
