21st Century Workplace Solutions
Employers must focus on creating psychological safety to compete in today's marketplace. Such an environment allows for engagement and productivity.
Health and Safety are the Cornerstones of the 21st Century Workplace.
If your business success relies on knowledge workers, you'd better be serious about promoting psychological safety in your 21st Century Workplace. Consider this: we, humans, cannot work to our potential when we don't feel included and safe. In other words, a safe environment is essential to optimal employee engagement, productivity, and creativity.
“The quality of our culture depends on the quality of our relationships, which depend on the quality of our conversations. Everything happens through conversations!” -Judith E. Glaser
Psychological Safety is Half the Story: The Other Half is "Slow Down to Speed Up".
A JEDI work environment allows your Human Capital and the headspace to be engaged and creative.
Sustainable workplaces provide employees with principles and tools to thrive at work and promote the mindset to enable them to live a fulfilled life.
Encouraging knowledge workers to "slow down to speed up" sounds counterintuitive in our current "do more with less" culture of productivity. Intentional Productivity provides adopters with the practices to focus on the work and activities to fulfill their aspirations while operating in alignment with their values.
Our Values Contribute to Our Purpose.
And values aren’t only important for individual awareness. Studies by Barry Z. Posner and others show that increased insight and understanding of your own values is the single biggest contributing factor to increased work commitment and motivation and to a reduction in work-related stress. This is the reason why DRIVEN uses the Point of Value assessment tools to enhance clients' understanding of their own values. The next step is to support the organization as they formulate and adopt shared values and deliberately create an organizational culture that harmonizes with their mission and vision. The result is increased coherence and a positive working culture where the individual thrives, the team performs, and the organization is sustainably successful.
The “sustainably engaged” employees feel their companies energize them by promoting their physical, emotional, and social well-being. This holistic approach is achieved through leadership that demonstrates a commitment to employee well-being and a reasonable work/life balance.
The First Step Toward a 21st Century Workplace:
Think Renovation!
-
Align Cultural & Individual Values
Renovating your current culture to create a 21st Century Culture requires an authentic commitment to protecting the "cultural contract". This entails an honest look at the values of the organization or the normative values. Which is working? How are you going to better attend to those that aren't?
When these values are known to employees, engagement increases. When an organization's values are in alignment with individual values, commitment is even higher! -
Cultural Workplace Shift
Now, more than ever, a cultural shift in the workplace is called for. This shift is about cultivating a cultural corporate mindset focused on mindful communication, energy management, and implementing new habits and behaviors centered on overall engagement in the workplace. Investing in learning programs – live and online – that allow employees to grow by improving their well-being, performance, engagement, productivity, and commitment to the company is critical for future success.
