Celebrating HR Professionals Day: Honoring the Champions of Workplace Well-being

"The way your employees feel is the way your customers will feel" - Sybil F. Stershic

Every September 26th, organizations worldwide pause to recognize HR Professionals Day – a chance to celebrate the dedication, compassion, and resilience of HR leaders. You support employees through challenges, change, and growth — but who supports you?

According to the Society of Human Resource Managers (SHRM), 42% of HR professionals report feeling burned out, and 88% say their work has become more emotionally challenging in recent years. At Topia, we believe HR leaders deserve just as much care and well-being as the people they serve.

This year, let’s make HR Professionals Day not only a celebration — but a commitment to nurturing your own health, happiness, and performance.

The State of HR Well-Being 

• Stress & Anxiety Are Rising: HR professionals report higher rates of anxiety compared to other corporate leaders.

• Culture Starts With Leaders: The SHRM Foundation notes that supportive, healthy leadership improves retention and workplace satisfaction.

• Wellness Pays Off: According to Gallup, organizations with high employee well-being see a 23% increase in productivity and lower turnover rates.

5 Ways to Support HR Professionals & Their Teams

1. Prioritize Mental and Emotional Well-Being Prioritizing mental and emotional well-being helps employees reduce stress, build resilience, and stay focused. When people feel supported, they collaborate more effectively and bring greater creativity to their work. This not only enhances performance but also cultivates a healthier, more positive workplace culture.

2. Incorporate Simple Workday Wellness Practices Incorporating simple wellness activities throughout the workday can make a big difference in energy, focus, and overall well-being. Here are a few workplace-friendly practices:

• Desk breathing exercises to calm the mind and reduce stress in minutes

• Stretch breaks to release tension and improve circulation

• Mindful pauses to reset focus before shifting to the next task

• Short walks to boost energy and spark fresh ideas 

3. Foster Cultures of Care Mindful leadership goes beyond driving results – it’s about leading with presence, empathy, and intention. When leaders model care and compassion, they create a ripple effect that encourages trust, open communication, and collaboration. This culture of care not only strengthens team morale but also drives sustainable success for the organization.

4. Lead with Mindful Coaching Leaders who embrace mindfulness practices can experience a 16% increase in task completion efficiency and a doubling of productivity growth. Additionally, organizations that integrate mindfulness into their culture often see a 25% improvement in overall productivity and enhanced employee engagement. Our Mindful Leadership Coaching equips HR professionals to lead with clarity and calm — creating healthier, more sustainable workplaces.

5. Give the Gift of Wellness Topia’s subscriptions make a thoughtful gift for HR leaders and teams. A reminder that investing in themselves is an investment in everyone they support.
