How do your people feel and want to feel about working for your organisation? Are you creating the kind of emotional environment where they feel valued, heard, happy and can contribute? Are you making the shift from people just doing their job to being engaged and thriving?
Emotions matter in the workplace and when people feel connected to their work, their leader and their organisation’s purpose, they are more engaged, more productive and have a greater desire to do a great job. One thing is for sure, creating the kind of emotional environment where your people can thrive is down to great leadership from people who embrace showing emotion and vulnerability and are able to own their mistakes and behaviour. Leaders who show heart, are human and relatable.
In this edition of The Reputation, we consider Emotional Environment as one of the main drivers of Employer Reputation.
