Supporting Your Team’s Well-Being
At LIFE Event Staffing, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical safety—especially in the high-pressure, fast-paced world of events. As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we want to highlight our ongoing commitment to supporting the well-being of our incredible staff.
Event professionals work tirelessly behind the scenes to bring experiences to life—often under tight deadlines, high expectations, and long shifts. While this work is incredibly rewarding, it can also be emotionally and physically taxing.
We recognize that burnout is real. So is stress. But together, we can create a culture where well-being is prioritized.
🧠 How LIFE Supports Mental Wellness
Here’s how we’ve built mental health into the core of our staffing culture:
1. Open Communication Channels
We encourage every team member—whether you’re onsite for a tech conference or supporting a nonprofit gala—to share feedback, raise concerns, and ask for help. Your voice matters here.
2. Flexible Scheduling
We know that everyone has different capacities and commitments. We offer flexible shift options and realistic expectations to help staff maintain a healthy work-life balance.
3. Pre-Event Briefings With Wellness Check-Ins
Before every event, our team leads check in with staff—not just about logistics, but also about how they’re doing. We take a moment to ground ourselves, breathe, and set intentions for a successful day.
4. Encouraging Breaks During Events
No heroics here. Our leads are trained to schedule realistic breaks, monitor fatigue, and rotate roles to ensure every staffer feels seen, supported, and recharged.
🌟 Tips to Avoid Burnout (From Our Team to Yours)
Whether you’re prepping for your next event or catching up with post-event duties, here are a few simple ways to protect your peace:
Hydrate + Fuel Up: Dehydration and hunger make stress worse. Keep snacks and a water bottle close.
Set Boundaries: Know your limits and don’t be afraid to say no to extra shifts when you’re at capacity.
Unplug After Events: Take time to rest and detach from work emails or messages once your event ends.
Move Your Body: A short walk, stretch, or dance break can do wonders for your mind and mood.
Talk It Out: Don’t internalize stress. Reach out to a friend, coworker, or team lead to process tough days.
💬 We’re In This Together
We are so proud of the hard work, resilience, and heart that our event staff brings to every job. They are the LIFE in LIFE Event Staffing—and we are committed to protecting our team’s mental health, not just this month, but year-round.
