As we are entering the final quarter of the calendar year, you might like to take a moment to reflect on the fact that we are all writing Chapter 2017 for our personal lives and for our work/role/job… every day. We hold the pen. And at the end of 31 December 2017, there will be one key difference between our Chapter 2017 document and any other document we will ever create… It cannot be edited. On 31 December 2017 (in just 91 days’ time), your Chapter 2017 will be complete and finished. What do you want your colleagues, customers, friends, family and other stakeholders to remember you for?
What will you and others say about your Chapter 2017?
Our personal and work lives are not mutually exclusive, instead they are inextricably connected, moreso in today’s super connected world than ever before. It may not be news to you that employees feel more fulfilled and motivated when their personal values are aligned with their organisation’s values.
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
However, research by Kouzes and Posner states that helping employees understand their personal (as opposed to organisational) values can result in an increase in discretionary effort of up to 17%. With the emerging focus on wellbeing at work, we are receiving increasing interest in www.my31practices.com as an employee benefit, to help employees identify and behave in alignment with their personal values.
