Abstract

The importance of wellbeing in the workplace is to promote wellness within the organization and to protect individuals' wellbeing. The study interviewed three wellbeing coaches, selected based on their professional licenses, and extensive field experience in coaching, with at least two years of counseling practice. Purposive sampling was employed to improve data accuracy and relevance selecting experienced individuals to ensure valuable perspectives. Using deductive thematic analysis, Filipino wellbeing coaches present their experiences, and the study used four predetermined key themes following the (ICF) Core Competencies Model which includes foundation, co-creating the relationship, communicating effectively, and cultivating learning and growth. In addition, the key themes were supported by eight sub-themes from the same model. The study discovered that wellbeing coaches provide psychological wellness strategies, implement interventions that integrate various tools and approaches to meet client needs while adhering to ethical practices, and provide continuous individual support which can substantially strengthen organizational efficacy. Wrike (2024) mentioned that organizational development interventions help to improve efficiency and boost employee engagement and satisfaction. Personalized support plans can be created, which may increase engagement, foster a strong culture, and promote innovation. In addition, integrating mental health and wellbeing programs, such as counseling services, stress management workshops, and wellness initiatives, benefits employees' mental health, resulting in increased resiliency. Future studies should include longitudinal studies to evaluate the long-term impact of personalized support plans and diverse tools on employee performance and organizational outcomes. Comparative analysis of different instruments and approaches can provide insights into which methods are most effective.

Abstract

The study explores Filipino Generation Z’s emotional vulnerability in the workplace. The study focuses on their experiences, thoughts, and feelings about being emotionally vulnerable, sensitive, and self-aware in the workplace. In sharing their stories, five participants born between 2000–2006 were able to explain their personal, positional, and ideological understanding of emotional vulnerability in the workplace. Generation Z employees’ narratives cover three chapters: beginning - first experience of emotional vulnerability in the workplace; middle: dealing with emotional vulnerability in the workplace; and end reflection on emotional vulnerability in the workplace. The study identified the nine (9) themes that defined the participant’s collated experiences: (1) experience of emotional distress from conflict and lack of support in the workplace; (2) experience of enduring emotional distress with professionalism and patience; (3) experience of coping with emotional distress and finding emotional balance; (4) perceived role as a learner navigating workplace dynamics; (5) perceived role as disregarded voice and vulnerable professional; (6) perceived role as advocates for employee support and well-being; (7) the value of emotional awareness and adaptability; (8) the value of professionalism; and (9) the value of sensitivity. Generation Z employees collectively advocate the importance of creating emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and sensitivity-promoting environments in the workplace.

Abstract

Despite the growing attention to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), limited research has explored the lived experiences and resilience of sibling caregivers. This qualitative study explores how Filipino college students with siblings diagnosed with ASD navigate academic, emotional, and familial responsibilities while managing caregiving challenges. Seven participants were purposively selected and engaged in semi-structed interviews using a phenomenological approach to capture the lived experiences and resilience of participants. Findings reveal that resilience is fostred through spirituality, family beliefs, adaptive roles, and emotional communication. Participants reframed their caregiving experiences into meaning-making that shaped personal growth and career goals, and their empathy with others who share similar experiences. Despite enduring emotional burdens and academic sacrifices, they demonstrated emotional maturity, role flexibility, and coping strategies rooted in family connectedness. These insights highlight the complex interplay between caregining and student development. The study underscores the need for culturally sensitive, family-centered programs that support the mental health and academic struggles of sibling caregivers striving to balance their aducational and caregiving duties.
