Julia Zarina hasn't added a story.
My name is Julia, and 6 years ago I moved to Canada as a young Human Resources professional escaping the unfairness and inhumanity of the way people were treated with at work in my home country.
Now, 6 years and 5 employers later, I realize that this issue isn't local to Russia. In those 6 years of employment at the large Canadian and international corporations I realized how unhappy and stressed out the vast majority of employed people are, regardless of their income, age and position on the corporate ladder. Sure some are doing better emotionally than the others, but most really suffer and they do it in silence...
My heart goes to all of those people who are suffering mental health consequences as a result of their work and also to all of those who keep wasting their health and lives doing what they hate just to make their ends meet at the end of each month.
The old business model is broken and the new one is still emerging. In the mean time, we're struggling to find our purpose, meaning in what we do and a general sense of life fulfillment, while our managers are trying to figure out what the authentic leadership actually is and how to help us, employees, feel engaged and motivated at work.
It's time to take action and stop waiting for the work world to change so that we can feel better about our lives. It's your mental health, it's your life, and it's under your control to make things better for yourself, your family and even your employer!
Now is the time to take your power back!
Workplace Engagement & Mental Health Association (WEMA) is a non-profit organization aiming to resolve issues of employee engagement and mental health at work.With the top goal of making personal development opportunities free or very affordable for people who are looking for a change in their work life, we are going to end this massive epidemic of depression and workplace misery through the power of self-awareness, alternative healing (like art and music therapy), and commitment to our own emotional well-being.
This fundraising campaign is to help me with the initial costs of legally setting up this not-for-profit organization. I'm asking for the money to cover government registration fees, trademarks, and the initial administrative expenses. Once WEMA is incorporated, I will be able to apply for government funding, grants, and corporate sponsorships, but until then I need your support.
If you believe in me and this cause, please donate. If you are a small business and are considering this as a sponsorship opportunity - please contact me at julia@juliazarina.com for more information and the business plan.
Having gone through the number of career transitions and workplace related mental health challenges, from stress to burnout and depression, I believe that our real job is our happiness. Let's end workplace misery together!
With much love and light,
Julia Zarina
